Good music has no language barrier.


"I like music where I can understand what they're saying."

Have you heard that one before? I have.


I kind of get it. People want to know what the song is about on a very specific level. But as an instrumentalist, I don't agree with it at all.

If a song is written properly, you already feel what's going on, usually on a deeper level than just having it described in words.


Honestly, I'd argue it's harder to make a song that fails to tell a story. Even someone who hardly knows anything about music can feel emotions and that translates into what you make, whether you know it or not.

If you can't understand a song without words on an emotional level, the song isn't good. You don't even have to be a really good musician if people get you and can relate to you, even as someone who's never met you, just by listening to your music.


That's about it. Just a thought that's been in my head over the last month or two. Something interesting for you to chew on.

Chat I built it.

Couldn't sleep last night so I came up with this riff. I hit kind of a dead spot with the songs I was recording, so this was a really nice change of pace.
