The good thing about music is that you don't need to understand the lyrics to feel the intensity of the instrumentals and the emotion of the vocals.
@iDEATH3 ай бұрын
One of the things I really enjoy about vocals in a language I don't understand is that I think it helps to appreciate the voice more as a pure instrument without all that pesky parsing of words getting in the way. As you said, it cuts right to the emotion and intensity of the song, and what a fine example of that this is!

What concert if you don't mind me asking? I don't really listen to metal much anymore, but this caught my attention and I'm glad it did. Reminds me of Fair To Midland a little bit, but more metal. I'm more of a Steely Dan guy in my 40's ;) But I can appreciate the passion and talent that went into this song. It's beautiful.
@frozenbride82032 ай бұрын
@@enjoybrad81 to be honest, I don't want to tell, as I don't wanna discredit the artist, as it's just a matter of taste. It's not their fault that I prefer listening to metal and only accompanied my daughter to a pop concert. The supporting act was really boring to me, so I kept listening to Shepherds Reign, but the main artist was really good, even if it wasn't my preferred music style ☺️

Growing up in the United States, born in Hawaii, I didn't grow up with my other 6 siblings nor raised by my parents. My grandparents took me to Oklahoman when I was 6 months old. I became a Metalhead at the age of 10 in 1987. I got my first 🎸 when I was 12. Started my first band in December 1993 when I was in high school (9th grade). Jammed in Metal bands for 25 years until July 2018. Got to open for some Big Bands when they came through Oklahoma City over the years. Some of the funniest times in my life playing in metal bands over the years that I will always cherish. And it makes me really happy to see fellow Usos in the South Pacific melting faces and representing our culture. 🇦🇸🇼🇸 You guys make me very proud. CHEEEEHOOOOOO!!!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
