God that is so me. I’ve been listening to music for decades and have no idea what the lyrics are, for pretty much any song ever written. It’s all percieved as sounds to me.
I think that’s why I dislike the major of country music. Country music is all (mostly) about story telling and I couldn’t care less about what is being said in music.
That’s a generous interpretation of the situation. I think it’s more likely that it just sucks. There’s good country music out there but most of what gets played on your local country radio station is shallow music for shallow people. Formulaic, uninspired, and boring as hell.
and then you have people like corb lund with songs such as “i’m probably going to die in the army and war is hell, so can you please let me at least ride a horse into battle so i look cool?” and colter wall with “i killed a man because he looked at me in a way i didn’t like” which is so much more authentic
I know what the lyrics are but have not a clue what they mean. I can tell you all the words. But comprehend them? Nah. There is nothing but fluff and vibes between these ears. No processing going on whatsoever.
I seem to have difficulty interpreting thoughts and feelings to/from spoken language. Sometimes when asked a question I have to pause for a moment to parse things. Then the other person interprets that pause into some kind of unintended meaning when really I was just struggling to form words.
Oddly, I don’t seem to have this problem while writing. Must be some part of the brain that does that task and mine is screwy.
I’m only bringing it up because others in this thread may be able to relate.
might wanna read up on autism and ADHD because if you have SPD it’s likely you’ll have at least one of those as well, and learning about it can be a turning point where a lot of things start making sense.

Glad to know I’m not alone.
