I have been thinking about two different versions of what I am calling "Lyrical Disconnect". The first comes from 'The Shawshank Redemption', when Red talks about how he doesn't want to know the lyrics to a Mozart aria because he feels that nothing they could be singing about could be as beautiful as the way they are singing it. Is this already a trope that I haven't found yet, or does anyone know of any other examples, enough to make it a trope?
The second comes from my own life, and it's when I love the music of a song, but hate the lyrics, or love the lyrics but hate the song. Are there any examples of this from tv, movies, etc? There is a short discussion in the forums (Disconnect - love the lyrics/song but hate the song/lyrics) from a few years ago, but that was all that I could find.
Thanks in advance.
