Q: Theres a very real extent to which the sound of a lyric or the context of a lyric affects the song itself or the way the song feels. Sometimes the best or most important part of a section is the thing that someone says during that section (e.g. all the soldiers surround me and make sure I'm lonely) Now, if one were to compose for a video game, that presents an issue. With a game, lyrics can be distracting, especially if they're in a language spoken by the person playing the game. So is music in games doomed to never reach the height of other types of music?
A: game music can reach higher heights than a lot of other music. because one of those core elements is actually YOU and what you are doing in the game. this is a perfect example of music and non-music enhancing each other intimately
