It feels more universally human. Like, it takes so much more skill to portray an atmosphere/vibe without one word at all. And its doesn’t care which country you’re from, you can share it with anyone in the world, regardless of language.
I struggle to parse fast paced song lyrics, so often find myself listening more to the music than what they are saying. This has gotten me in trouble before.
Right now I am digging Dance with the Dead’s “Driven to Madness”. Reminds me of an 80s monster movie synth/metal album.
Dance with the Dead kicks ass. One of my favorite songs of theirs for folks to listen to: “Blind” from the album “Out of Body” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfLFhFbpdzk
Also check out Carpenter Brut if you haven’t. Little heavier and more “punchy” in general, but very similar 80s synth vibes and almost exclusively instrumental: “Turbo Killer” from “EP III” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy9r2qeouiQ
And once you’ve been sufficiently blown away by those great recommendations, check out Magic Sword. The Sword of Truth is a good starting point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2qgY31ziE
I disagree that you can’t share a song with the whole world due to language. I listen to stuff in languages I don’t speak frequently. And making music out of one’s voice seems pretty darn human.
There is a time and place for instrumental for me. I like listening to it when I need to focus, as opposed to songs that sometimes distract me more.
Agree. For example, Tunak Tunak Tun. Love it, don’t understand a word. 😁
