Everyone loves a good song now and then but do songs, rare as they come, without vocals sound better then that with a person singing in them? Do you believe lyrics are always applicable to a song or do you think they need to, for example, tell a story?
I personally think that music should be all about the instruments, vocals should only really be there to tell a story. By a story i don't mean a tale about getting drunk at the weekend, taking a load of drugs and ending up in bed with, say, a polar bear in a pink frock covered in sick and reeking of alcohol. I'm talking about a moving tale, perhaps about a romance, war, a fantasical goal or adventure or even something comical.
Feel free to offer your own opinion and maybe even give some examples of some really good instrumental music.
