I simply love instrumentals, because that's all I care about on music, the way instruments talk to you, without any words spoken, and what you feel about it.
The best thing is when good vocal piece can use words to enhance a melody.

Surf's Up by Brian Wilson is the perfect example of this, plus I love sharing the song. It's amazing music but when you listen the words are complete nonsense. They let the music tell the story while they just make the right sounds to go with the melody.



None of the words in the entire album make any sense, really. There are some fantastic lines nonetheless. It's all very effective with the psychedelic feel of the album. Everyone who likes Pet Sounds and/or any of the Beetles stuff from around then should buy the original SMiLE sessions. It's tragic that it was never finished off and released.
