what's your idea of a "good song"?

This is the place for readers of poetry. Discuss poetry and literary art. You can also discuss music here, including lyrics. Also, you can discuss poets themselves, in addition to poetry.

A good song for me is one that passes a good and meaningful message, the lyrics speak to me, and the rhythm appeals to me.

What a great question! For me it is songs that make me feel something: Happy, thoughtful, inspired. Sometimes it is the words, sometimes the music itself. I think music is one of the most important mediums we have to connect with and better understand the world we live in.

For me,good song is when I can feel the singer's passion is their lyrics and how they show their self to the world through music.Afterall,music is another form of art for us to express ourselves so I don't think you need to go easy when you make music.I don't really care about the beat,if the lyrics make me goosebumps then I will consider their song as a good song.

Music is good if it draws some kind of reaction from you. Whether it inspired you to dance, cry, pray or simply want to listen, so long as it resonates with you, it's good.

A good song for me when i could relate to the expressions of the artist, when i can feel vulnerable without denying or escaping from the reality. music that make me believe in the existence of soul and lyrically strong songs are always appreciated by everyone.

I know I have a preference for story-songs, just interesting songs that sound like they traveled with the artist and usually have a gravel-like of a unique voice.

The songs that evoke a certain feeling inside of me, which is so loud and deep that it cannot be resisted. Those that the heart is in love with which I listen to again and again.

For me the most important aspects are relatable lyrics and I need to hear the guitar… I really don’t know why, but it makes me happy.
In that sense, a sad song can be a good song, too. It’s not about the mood, rather about the feelings you get.

It's definitely a subjective topic where almost anything can be a good song depending on your tastes. In line with my tastes, a good song is simply one that holds my attention and isn't boring. Something that goes in interesting directions with its lyrics or melody rather than being monotonous, predictable or formulaic
