A song made in the 21st century is likely to not have the musical instruments we normally think of songs having. A lot of prerecorded sounds and computer technology plays a role in these songs of today. This wasn’t the case a couple of decades back; when music listeners could pick out each instrument in a song. If you could get your ears passed the lead vocals, you could hear a guitar being played, along with a base, keyboard, piano, and drums. These were the typical instruments most songs had in them. Soon our ears would hear electronics taking over for vocals and the rest of the musical instruments most bands would use to compose music.
A song on the radio today has changed a lot. Computers and technology has played a role in this. I’m not saying its a turn for the worse and music is not as good today. I’m just saying it’s different and a musical genius now would need a few basic computer skills, to obtain the sounds being played over the radio air waves now. I look forward to seeing a singer or band take a stand against musical technology and release songs that only have the basics. A lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and a set of drums is the only 4 pieces a band really needs to make good music. A piano or keyboard is a nice touch too. Leaving out the musical sounds a computer creates, is a way for artists to bring back the tunes of yesterday.
