Estranged..

Instrumental music is a Special mode of expression and most people respect it even without realizing that they might actually be loving it, Starting off with every ones favorite Solo's of Slash, Ted Neugent , jimmy page, Steve Vai, Richie blackmore or the long stretches in Pink Floyd and Dire straits songs . I never really appreciated what 'new age' music was like until i spent some time with the exclusive radio on Shoutcast, now i think i can easily spend a really very large part of my day listening to it.
For the people who don't understand instrumental music , i think it is mainly due to dependence on directions ....it is a crooked way to indicate the need for words . It has always been a indicated that people can understand much from music as is . If looked into closely i think for people who do not like instrumental music it is mainly due to a learned skill of being better at appreciating somethings that are said rather than the ones implied. Not to stress on the fact that even the better of wordy songs are appreciated for the message they delivered between the lines.(when i say 'wordy' i refer to those with significant literary content , not Rap songs)
I would like to use the term 'under influence' as i think the truly great music has the ability to effect the affect in a very precise and individual way such that the Psyche of a person is elevated beside and beyond the limits of vocally directed literary specimen. It is very easy to appreciate that the lyrics when at full throttle don't direct the listener in any specific direction and to be frank are blurry and confusingly obscure.Like a good story the the result and conclusions are never verbally delineated .
I think 'wordy' songs have an ability to provide the listener with a sense of security ;a state of being in control of the things happening or being said/shown in the video. There the object of focus is defined by the language and voice of the singer ; on the contrary, instrumental music provides the listener with a sense of freedom as to decide the meaning of the song for himself, most of the time the listener at the end stops deciding the meaning and enjoys the state of freedom and thoughtlessness. Most really great songs carry phenotypes from both the categories. Regarding the listener I think the people who like the so called wordy songs are mainly interested in watching it and mostly imagine acting or singing to it , Fans of instrumental music tend to prefer listening rather watching and more often than not imagine playing and dancing to the tunes.
[I can define a coherent relationship between idol worship and the contrary where the idol helps the Deity and provides a visual object to direct attention on].
