It feels more universally human. Like, it takes so much more skill to portray an atmosphere/vibe without one word at all. And its doesn’t care which country you’re from, you can share it with anyone in the world, regardless of language.

    I listen to a lot of music in languages I don’t understand. Growing up I especially loved Rammstein. No clue what they were saying until I was older, but feeling is feeling.

    There’s a time for both instrumental and vocals, and that’s of course dependent on my mood and focus. I’ll put on something like an elder scrolls soundtrack or lo fi hip hop if I need to focus.

      I’ve generally been underwhelmed by song lyrics. I liked Rammstein in part because I couldn’t understand what they were saying in a given song.
