What Has Happened to Lyrics in Today's Music?

Surely I’m not the only one who remembers what real music used to sound like. Before electronically-enhanced tracks came along, music actually had melody, rhythm, and above all - meaningful lyrics.

Of course you can argue that many songs of the past were somewhat lyrically lacking, but they were usually the exception - not the rule. Today, it’s the real, soulful songs that are the exception.

Do you have a death wish? Most of us would hopefully answer “no” to that question but if you are a smoker, you’re answer is an emphatic “yes.” Whether you agree with that statement or not, the sad truth is smoking cigarettes will eventually kill you.

All About Katy Perry

What does a girl raised by two pastors turn into when she’s all grown up? A flamboyant pop singer who wears outrageous outfits and belts out tunes about kissing another girl (and liking it), apparently. Maybe not all religiously-raised girls turn out this way (I know I have never worn a cone-shaped bustier or a fruit basket on my head), perhaps Katy Perry is the exception. Or perhaps it has nothing to do with her upbringing; Katy Perry just might enjoy embracing her unique individuality and love drawing attention to herself.
