i listen to rhythm and melody, and barely to the lyrics
is this common?

Same, i don’t care about or know lyrics for the most part
I like to try to understand and identify with the lyrics, making a deeper connection to the song. This is probably why Radiohead fucked me back in the day 😂
I still only know the song “Creep” 🤣💜
Listening to music and listening to the story of it are two different things for me, and I feel that I don’t often take enough time to listen to the story
Good musicians will make sad lyrics sound happy and vice versa.
This is an old parlor trick. The song “jump” by Van Halen is a good example. David Lee Roth understood the value of positive music with dark undertones
Van Halen got played a lot back in my household as a kid, couldn’t name you any songs, but would recognise a lot of them
yes i think this is actually more common... though I have always been a heavy lyric decoder...

This is generally why I listen to a lot of instrumental music. Hip-hop seems to be the exception for me though.
I think so. I listen the lyrics and the melody as a whole.
No
