[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 634449, member: 2189"] I'm glad you posted that. I'm a fan of classical, jazz, electronic and progressive/avant garde rock where lyrics are not or may not be present at all. These music forms rely totally on using the music itself to create moods and imagery. Listen to Holst's "The Planets" and specifically, "Mars, Bringer of War" and even not knowing the title, the music evokes power and a sense of force that one would dread. Or listen to Copeland and try not to think of manifest destiny, pioneers and wagon trains. Listen to Sousa and not get all patriotic and want to wave a flag or at least stand up and march. Or Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." Or what about Stevie Ray Vaughn's Riviera Paradise, listen to it and at least mentally you'll find yourself laid back, chilling out as though for the moment, you've found a sense of paradise. I absolutely love that song and blessed with the fact that I have guitarists in the house who can play it. Disney's epic Fantasia is a good example of how music can create a visual image where no prior lyrics existed but all one needs is a creative mind. I love Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition but Night on Bald Mountain is just killer! [MEDIA=youtube]iCEDfZgDPS8[/MEDIA] Lyrical song is everywhere with great and meaningful, thought provoking song but what really grabs my attention is a song writer who ignores lyrics and uses note and chord combinations along with various intervals to create as effective a visual image as any combination of words would!
