Unfortunately listening to music is not ideal to learn words. The lack of context and creative use of the language in lyrics means that they are not very comprehensible or natural. Music is still great as a connection to the culture and native speakers though!

It depends. In my case I listened so many English songs in my beginning stage.That helped me to accustomed to sound and rhythm of English.I agree with you for about grammar and vocabularies.

Some of my students enjoy warming up with lyricsgap. Music in the TL can engage the brain, preparing it for lessons. Language is music is culture.

I love using songs. Let them fill in missing words (listening), highlight verbs or whatever you’re focusing on, talk about the message, write sentences about the people in the song....

Disagree. Any input is always welcome, particularly any enjoyable one that one would favor listening to repeatedly. I don't think anyone would recommend only using music as input, of course.

I believe is a question of creating #comprehensibleinput context focusing what you consider important in the lyrics and work in class before playing the song, so they have been exposed to them. is a master and has an Instapost with many possibilities

Music is neither stored nor processed *as language* in the brain. It is *very* easy to listen to a song and memorise it— even in L1; Rolling Stones I’m lookin at your Exile album 😁😁— while not knowing what the lyrics mean.
But it can make ppl feel kinda sorta L2ish.
