My God, I just bought Explosions in the Sky's album All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone.
It's the kind of album that restores your faith in humanity and makes you wish your life was more interesting just so it could be the SOUNDTRACK to it.
I don't know what it is that they do with their music, but they manage to move me more than any band with vocals ever could. Tonight, for example, I was extremely annoyed for no apparent reason, so I decided some of this could chill me out. Works like a charm.
I keep hearing Godspeed! You Black Emperor is great and similar to Explosions in the Sky, so I'll have to check them out next. It's so refreshing to turn off all the pop-catchy garbage you hear on the radio daily and hear something with actual substance and says so much more than anything with lyrics.
It's music that's important. It's music that makes me remember why I fell in love with music in the first place. It's brilliant.
*Sigh* It's a shame music like this goes unnoticed. Fortunately I have converted Holly into a fellow Explosion-lover :-) Hopefully I will convert more.
Man, I really should update this thing more often.
