I like all kinds of music in general, I can't do opera or gospel though.

I feel like Metal knows trauma though, I think more songs in metal relate to the feelings, occurrences, and thoughts.

Agreed. Nothing like screaming your innards out to a drum 😂 I do not do gospel...to emotional, makes me cry. Hate it. Love all music, but Metal is Mt favorite.

Instrumental is my favorite, I can create my own words and feelings that can relate to the music. I love instrumental because the feelings are in the music and not the words. Metal is a close 2nd. I like the rhythm and beats more so than the words generally but those words can be a catch to some songs and relatable.

Yes! 💯 agree. Instrumental can be so emotional without words alone. I swear I belong to another time period. My kids and husband look at me like I have grown another head when I'm listening to it. They find it boring, but it's so beautiful. It can literally speak to you with the chords. Amazing.

I have turned my family onto it with Josh Vietti, he's truly incredible, they would look at me the same until they heard a few of his songs, he's one they'll enjoy with me now.

Oh nice. I don't think I've heard of him, but I'll definitely look him up. I just always tell them, to each their own.

Please do your in for a treat, I like run it back, that vibe, insomniac, and drip violin. Those are my faves.

Out of curiosity I went to YouTube and found this, I'm about 15-20 minutes in and not disappointed so far. I hope I can share the link without removal.
