You'll find your words

I've been listening to a ton of Explosions In The Sky recently. It's almost entirely attributed to my purchase of their most recent album, but also because it puts me in an incredible thinking state of mind. Songs with lyrics or music videos offer a guided path towards an interpretation, but with instrumental music, all you have are the sounds, and a song title. (Even the latter doesn't help most of the time.) And because of that, you find your own words to the song. You create the story behind the music, playing through scenes in your head. Yeah, you can visualize something if you're listening to a song with lyrics, but it's what the lyrics are that brings you to that visualization. Instrumentals give you the opportunity to create it yourself. You bring everything into the world of the song.
