Reveling In The Sound & Vocals of Musical Production

Music is a story-telling vehicle used by everyone to express their life story and journey through their personal perspectives. 
For the longest I've been ashamed as a music fanatic for liking songs that don't necessarily have the most "clean" content. What can I say? It's hard to avoid the profanity, the vulgar, the crude, the derogatory and I'm culprit to repeating, singing, and dancing to choruses and bridges using "foul" language. Not often, but it has happened. For my preference the "clean" version or radio edit versions work best.
Even further the same can be said for the never-ending discussion towards young girls, young women, and women in general dancing and singing to songs that totally diss them and degrade them in every measure. If you don't want to be called a "bitch" in real-life then why are you acting like it's your all-woman's anthem in a song? And what has the response been from certain females? You know what it is... "They aint talking bout me". Then there's the responding question from the peanut gallery, "then who are they talking about?" Then whatever happens from there can either go up and down, even sideways.
I'm sure this conversation will never cease from having heated discourse on both sides -
male and female. 
Then from the perspective of how we live our lives or the cards that are dealt to us. Many of us say what we say to make a point, putting emphasis where it's needed. Maybe that's just part of the dialog. If you live in a community where it's the norm to say "bitch", "ho", "prick", dumbass", and so forth then there's no need for explanation. It's the normal for where you come from. But really though when you're listening to a track and a dude or gal is spitting out profanity left and right with no rhyme or reason but just to look good then it's wack. It's stupid. Those songs are not creative nor worth getting irritated over. I don't know about you but it becomes an issue like food that doesn't taste good or hot shoe that doesn't fit your feet. It just messes everything up.

But a realization came over me a few days ago for me to explain why. It wasn't the language, it was the music itself. The production. Unfortunately it was added to the package with the bad language yet it is solely the reason why I can't avoid saying I like certain songs. Such a shame. I'll just let it stand as such. Every so often I'll hear reference to engineer.  Producer is what I hear the most and I'm sure you have too. Generally however an audio engineers side of the equation is more technically oriented than that of a producer.  While a producer may sit in the booth coaxing singer’s performances and artfully adjusting sound levels to blend best with one another, it is the audio engineer who has generally set up the microphone the singer is singing into.

At home anyone can re-create a popular song using a laptop and keyboard.

Learning about their differences helps. Maybe I should start giving those cats the credit they deserve and equally to the Artist when the lyrics are giving the music justice. The wonders You Tube brings listeners. I can search for instrumentals and A capellas for hours because you can find so many. What it does to your mind when you separate the voice from the music is an experience unlike anything else. It is extremely enjoyable listening to classic, well-known songs with only the music playing and even more when you hear the real voices behind the music.

My playlists consist of so many I might as well put every last one created because there's not just 5 or 10, there are many! I'll share a few of my picks that give variation for you to listen & share your thoughts.
