Ditto! I think Mick Jagger once said something along the lines of that he used to run home with his first singles and play them again and again, trying to work out what the vocal was saying. And that it was part of the fun, and if he'd understood everything the first time it would have ruined it......

I like to 'feel' a vocal more than anything else.....who can make out all the lyric on a (=any) Radiohead track without the lyric sheet??

Make it sit the way YOU like it geezer....
