Listening to instrumental music...,

[Silverobama]

Last night, a friend of mine asked me what kind of music I like to listen to. I said I like "absolute music" because "Listening to absolute music creates me a lot of space of imagination".

When I said "absolute music", I meant "just music not accompaniment or something else, no lyrics". I don't think the term is natural. Please help me with the italic sentence too.

When I said "absolute music", I meant no quotation marks here just music, not as accompaniment or something else, with no lyrics. no quotation marks here.

Music without lyrics (whether that's singing or something like rap) is called instrumental music.

I don't think the term is natural.

You're right. See above.

Please help me with the italic sentence too.

It's a mess, to be honest! I have no idea what "creates me a lot of space of imagination" is supposed to mean. Note that "creates me" is ungrammatical. The second "of" doesn't work either. I suggest you completely rewrite that sentence.

I suggest you completely rewrite that sentence.

Listening to instrumental music gives me a lot of space of imagination.

The intended meaning is: when I listen to this kind of music, I can imagine myself to be someone else in the music.

Is the new sentence good?

No. I already told you that the second "of" doesn't work, yet you repeated "space of imagination".

The intended meaning is: when I listen to this kind of music, I can imagine myself to be someone else. in the music.

Then why don't you say that?
