about

I had trouble with song lyrics. I have attributed this to being a non-native English speaker but it’s more likely due to my pitch and rhythm dependency. I would “know” a song, its melody and chord progression from intro to verse to bridge to chorus to refrain. I would never know its words even once I was linguistically adept. I had an aha moment when I realized I had to know a song’s syllabic makeup to be able to play it because they are connected to the its melody's rhythm. Playing songs on the piano by ear, I always thought it was funny to repeat notes to match syllables when they added little musical significance without lyrics. This was another one of only-me jokes. Some songs sound so awkward on the piano because of the syllabic repetition of words. I would somehow feel embarrassed when my friends wouldn’t recognize my rendition of their requested pop songs. What did they think, that my syllabic playing on the piano would precisely recreate the timbre of a heavily produced pop song?
