I watched Music & Lyrics again, this time in English. Here's one of the most amusing quotes:
Alex Fletcher: The best time I've had in the last fifteen years was sitting at that piano with you.
Sophie Fisher: That's wonderfully sensitive... especially from a man who wears such tight pants.
Alex Fletcher: It forces all the blood to my heart.
I loved the explanation why lyrics are so important. Sophie Fisher compares it to falling in love. She says the melody is the attracting part, it allures you, fascinates you. But the real seduction happens while listening to the lyrics. To get to know the person behind, the meaning. That's when you get really attracted, or even enchained.
Seems to be quite a feminine point of view, given. But it's just too true. Remembering some discussions with a friend of mine (who also regards the melody more important than the lyrics) I could not have put it better, had I known the words.
