1 medal 2 sides, yet both bright
If you would have asked me just after you posted 'just begun' if I liked the instrumental pieces more, I would have said 'yes!' But after listening more to that song, and all the other you posted, my view got changed completely.
On the other hand, on quite some occasions, I still prefer listening to the instrumental songs. This greatly depends on my mood and the time of the year (Christmas.. well, you know which songs I play then (even more then usual) ^^ )
So, I guess my point is: I don't really have a preference; lyrics or instrumental..
I'd say give it some variation, and keep surprising us ;-)
Time to go back to this song, I've heard it several times already by now, and I think I can say: .. I love it (surprise, surprise ^^).
It's cheerful, makes me want to dance around my room, and yet I can just sit and actively listen to it. It's not just dance music, it has that little 'epic' to it.
I could even say more: It's just unique, since it can be used for cheerful/sad/epic battles movies.
And the audio quality is really amazing in this song, especially the strings.
You were right, we didn't have to wait long. Yet, even if you made us wait half a year longer, this song would have been worth the wait.
