I perceive music as really another way of telling a story besides the use of words. Most of the times I find that I develop some sort of imagery when I listen to songs. In fact, I like to listen to music with my eyes closed.
A favourite example of mine would have to be Gackt's 12gatsu no Love Song. I think he did a very good job for the song, as I managed to imagine a wintery Christmas scene almost as soon as I heard the first few notes of the song (besides the jingles as well).
Who says you need lyrics to understand a great song? One day I hope to make music like that too.
