I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.
Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?
Thay was never my statement. I said we usually get great music when it is like this. Even classical music makes statements with no word.
What kind of “statements” does classical music make? For me instrumental music just sounds nice, or it doesn’t. No statement involved.
Classical music had plays attached to them. They 100% made political statements for their times.
