your hand in mine

The one thing that I love about the band Explosions in the Sky is their simplicity. So many bands infringe their
views on the listener, manipulates them to feel the emotion of the song.
While you can claim that music can be interpreted numerous ways depending on the listener
I somewhat disagree. With most music, you are at the mercy of the musician-the lyrics and delivery all deliberately
are meant to incite a particular reaction. Explosions in the Sky-they just are so pure and honest.
No lyrics, no flagrant frontrunner, no calculated image.
They just play and allow the listener to explore their own personal
journey through emotions, images, and dip into their cavern of memory.
