Lyricless Bands/Songs

Im replien to J1516 - page 2 last time i checked, after my other post.

Ive already said, im not refering to bands without lyrics, im talking about what Slave#1 said: saying that the music is more important than the lyrics. im sayig that theyre equal, in the songs that have lyrics. If a song has lyrics, its gotta have the lyrics, or else it has no story to it. an instrumentsl song is different - its written without lyrics, so it has no lyrics, therefore doesnt need lyrics. Songs like Triad - a Classic song, its story is all in the music. Its still easy to tell what a band is saying through an instrumental snon because the feeling is there.

With a lyrical song, the music changes and has different tones and patterns when the lyrics are being sung, then it goes to another tone, when there is a rest in the lyrics. Lyrical and Instrumental songs are comletly different, not just because they dont have lyrics. The music often says more in instrumental songs because there are no lyrics to do it.
