Lyric-less in Owasso

Today I was browsing for new music to listen to, a thing I do every couple of months or so, when I came across a style of music I very often forget but hold in high regard.

Shoegazer; Dream Rock; Transient Rock; Instrumental; Sleep Rock and so on.

Whatever you want to call it, it is basically lyric-less music. And I love it. As I listened to samples of new material and titles from my own collection, I noticed something. These bands are just as big as bands like Aerosmith and have just as big a following. But why? Like I said it's lyric-less music, and experience has show us that people are adamantly in love with lyrics in their music, for want of a sing-a-long or some other 'this-band-puts-into-words-all-my-emotion' reason.

I have a bit of a theory, and by "theory" I mean "obvious point": Just as classical music moved people in its time, so does this music move people.

This music basically says, "I am here to let you think on you. I am here to provoke and then move out of the way of your thoughts." And this I admire. This is the music I listen to whenever I feel like putting words to my thoughts.

Music itself is vast, and so I cannot listen to this style terribly too much. Mostly for fear of my mind wandering far too far away.

So this to say, you can be a successful musician and not be able to sing or be in a band that can sing.
