For example there’s one piece of classical music that especially touched me last year called “Prince Igor”. I have no clue who made it, who interpreted it, what it’s about or when or where it was written. All I know is that this particular melody resonates with me and I ended up listening to it on a loop for hours on end because it evoked a feeling of peace and joyful curiosity.
Just quoting one of my comments I made elsewhere in this thread:
There is definitely exceptions. Though guitar instrumentals don’t do it for me, even though I generally listen to the rock/metal genre.
But for example I really like violin covers by this one artist/youtuber of movie and game soundtracks (especially the Zelda games). But that’s some of the only instrumental music I listen to and only when I’m in a specific mood.
And even there I think nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting for me enjoying the songs.
