I'm saying this after listening to Black Bear - Like Venice, Gorillaz - Stop the Dams, and Gorillaz - Fire Coming Out of a Monkey's Head. I don't know why exactly, but I find myself drawn to these songs because they feel more like poetry to me or something. These aren't the only songs that feel like that, either--ranging from King Crimson - Neurotica--not that regular poetic cadence but definitely not traditional 'singing'--to Nana Grizol - Mississippi Swells--which, while more melodic, I actually read as part of a poetry reading for a few friends--these tracks feel more, I don't know, focused on the words rather than the action of speaking them with the music simply being accompaniment.

Anyways, I tried showing a few of these tracks to some folks I know, and they did not seem to very much enjoy them, and I don't know exactly why. What are y'alls thoughts on it? If you're a fan of this sort of feeling of music, do you have any personal favorites to suggest?
