In what book, in who's universe, in what art class is it written that all songs must have a melody and chord changes....?? How about lyrics, is that mandatory too ?? Ever been to a drum circle ?? Ever been to a jam session ?? ever been to a songwriting session, where the song develops over time ?? Are you going to complain because there's no lyrics whining about some dizzy dame that just left you ?? What, no mile a minute rant about some social or political or racial injustice ?? No Justin Timberlake dancing for the ladies ?? No Madonna flashing her boobs for the camera ?? No Lady Gaga gay outfits ?? No Elton John glasses ?? No Margarita's ?? Just music, just noise. Something to break the silence, that is all. Discuss....How do I view this piece ?? Let's say the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Ravi Shankar were flying on a plane to India to work on a musical collaboration.....if you were a fly on the wall, this musical piece is what you might hear.....then again maybe not....it's just entertainment. There are no rules. Instead of trashing something you don't understand, try adding a lead part, your own lyrics, you're own drum beat....contribute something rather than just bash it. What would you do if you were on that plane with the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Ravi Shankar ??
Did Beethoven ever write lyrics to his 5th Symphony ??
