94. Ode to Joy

Actually I guess it does have lyrics but I usually hear it as an instrumental and it literally lifts my spirits no matter how lifted I already was. I can't not be happy when I hear that.

lol! I used to know it all too. I wish I still did. Except that when I knew it all I was an ass about it. Heheh, back then I knew so much I even knew what everyone else was doing wrong.

Most of the music I listen to regularly you can't even understand the lyrics - the vocals are growled so low that the voice is really just another percussive instrument rather than a vehicle for a message. And yet, despite the notoriety that metal in general has, many of them are meaningful (not all of course - there's some stupid high-school lyrics in metal too for sure). Gojira is a French progressive Tech-death metal band that sings mostly about the envirnment (and how we are screwing it up). Cattle Decapitation is a great grind band that looks like a gory mess of nonsense but the founding members are vegans (well, maybe just vegetarians) and most of their lyrics are written about humanity's sins from the cow's point of view. (At one time all the members were vegetarians but line-ups change and whatnot)
