why do they say do not read the lyrics while listening to the music?

Question

it is written on many cd leaflets

Answer 1

Maybe they assume you're driving while listening and don't want you to crash. That would make sense. lol

Answer 2

I have never heard anyone say that, on the contrary I hear people say you should read the lyrics to the song so you will know what they are talking about.

I find myself singing a song, then when I see the lyrics I am baffled because I had been saying the wrong thing.

Answer 3

i do not imagine it is a foul concept. I were speaking English for fifty years and that i have continually had a difficulty information the words in some song, so it is sweet in case you could examine the words when you're listening, and verify out to verify the words you examine to the sounds you listen.

Answer 4

I don't know, I always do that when I get bored. I look up the lyrics on the internet and listen to the radio at the same time lol.

Answer 5

Ok here is what you do. Step 1. Lay down the crack pipe. Step 2. Walk away. Just walk away. Where in the h*ll did you hear something like that??? I'm going to just say...... NOPE. Never heard of that before, Must be something new. VERY new.

Answer 6

hummm... i've never heard that but I have to read the kyrics for some bands b/c you just can't tell what they're saying and even though I don't sing in public most times if I did I wouldn't want to look like a jack@$$ saying the wrong words ;o)

Answer 7

Never heard nor read that before. That may be because I actually listen to good music.

Answer 8

well i'm not really sure who says that. but my guess would be so that you can focus on the musical part of the song without getting distracted by the words.

Answer 9

i never heard that
but maybe cos then youd lose the appreciation for the melody
but i think its just as important to enjoy the melody, as it is to understand the message the dong conveys

Answer 10

i never heard that and i always read the lyrics
