I think the importance of lyrics are different for everyone. I don't hold too much emotion to lyrics as I do melody. My wife on the other hand can hear a song that does not draw a melodic response, but the lyrics are meaningful, and she will love the song. Like John said, it depends on the genre. Also, a set of lyrics that seem very silly to one person may be very meaningful to another person. It is tough to draw the line between what is a good, meaningful lyric and what is not.
I'm the same way. I listen to the melody and beat etc. While my wife can like a song just for the lyrics.
My background is more pop/rock where the lyrics don't matter as much. I've been working on some songs for country where it's more important to tell a story or have some type of interesting perspective or twist. It can be very challenging to write for country.

Why I Love The Beatles
in Songwriting
Posted · Edited by bakerusc
Love the Beatles! One of my favorite bands is ELO who have a lot of songs that sound like the Beatles. A lot of people think Mr Blue Sky is a Beatles song.
Even Paul McCartney said there are a few ELO songs that he wished he wrote!
