    I don’t know what the vast majority of songs I listen to are about. I have some genetic defect that makes it near impossible to hear lyrics. It all sounds like melody to me.

      Do you know the name of the defect? Sounds interesting, I’d like to read up on it.

        I doubt it’s a real thing that has a name. I tried asking chatGPT about it and it said it’s called melodic masking / auditory masking but I didn’t really find any information that matches my experience.

        It’s not that I don’t hear the vocals, I just struggle to register it as language. It just sounds more like yet another instrument.
