Where Did the Music Go? (Instrumental)

Music has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up playing the piano and violin and singing in choirs. These days, I enjoy playing the guitar and songwriting.

The Problem

Once something becomes popular, it often gets taken for granted. The air we breathe, the water we drink, even the music we listen to. We often don’t think about where it comes from or how it gets made. We just consume it. However, there is a problem.

The Lack of Instrumentals in Today’s Music

Instrumentals used to be a staple in the music industry, providing the backdrop for some of the most popular songs of all time. However, in recent years, the prevalence of instrumentals in popular music has declined significantly. There are a number of possible explanations for this trend.

One factor that may be contributing to the decline of instrumentals is the increasing popularity of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. On these platforms, listeners are typically presented with a list of songs to choose from, rather than an album or playlist with a specific theme or mood. As a result, listeners may be less likely to come across an instrumental track that they enjoy.

Another explanation for the decline of instrumentals is the changing preferences of music consumers. In the past, listeners often purchased entire albums, even if they only liked a few of the songs. However, now that consumers can purchase individual tracks through iTunes and other digital retailers, they are more selective about what they purchase. As a result, listeners may be less likely to purchase an entire album if it contains several tracks that they don’t like – including instrumental tracks.

Finally, it’s possible that the decline of instrumentals is simply a result of the changing trends in popular music. In recent years, there has been a shift away from traditional pop and rock genres towards hip hop and electronic dance music (EDM). These genres typically feature vocals more prominently than instrumentals. As a result, it’s likely that we’re simply hearing fewer instrumentals because there are fewer being produced overall.

Despite the decline in popularity, there are still many fans of instrumental music. If you’re one of them, you may have to work a little harder to find new tracks to enjoy – but it will be worth it when you do!

The Solution

The global situation has gotten worse, with the pandemic raging on and lockdowns in full effect in many countries. The music industry has been hit hard, with live venues and festivals shutting down and artists struggling to make ends meet. But in the midst of all this, there is a silver lining.

More Instrumentals in Today’s Music

Instrumentals have been a staple in music for centuries, providing the backdrop for everything from struggling artists to famous bands. Today, however, it seems that instrumental music is being pushed to the background in favor of songs with lyrics. This is a shame, because instrumentals can be just as powerful and evocative as songs with lyrics.

There are a few theories as to why this is happening. One is that our attention spans are shorter than they used to be, and we’re simply not willing to listen to an entire song without words. Another possibility is that the rise of streaming services has made it easier for us to find songs with lyrics that we like, and we’re less likely to search for instrumentals. Whatever the reason, it’s a shame that instrumentals are becoming less common in today’s music landscape.

There are still some artists who appreciate the power of an instrumental track, and we should support them. If you’re looking for some great instrumentals to add to your playlist, check out the following tracks:

– “First Light” by Mogwai

The Result

Instrumentals are the background to our lives, the soundtrack to the movie in our head. We hear them in the grocery store, the doctor’s office, and on the radio. They are so ubiquitous that we often take them for granted, but where did they come from? How did they become so popular?
