Any Star Trek fans that wander in here…if the theme had been an instrumental version, perhaps even orchestraed up, would you have been fine with it? A reminder that TOS had lyrics as well, mainly as a copyright thing to profit, but they exist. And they are far worse than Enterprise’s lyrics.
Playing semantics. If you want your head canon to be there never were lyrics at all, that’s perfectly justifiable, as they were created for money and never aired. They still exist though.
The point is that there were no lyrics to the theme for the actual show. It doesn’t matter that lyrics might have been written for it. This discrepancy is quite relevant because we’re also discussing if the theme for Enterprise would have sucked less if the theme was the same, but only instrumental.

The song was a banger, and it really warmed on me. When they changed it to an instrumental it sounded really stupid
Yes, it wouldn’t have been nearly as bad without the lyrics.
The show has an
orchestraledit: instrumental end-of-episode theme that was written for the opening titles. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsn2xVmVuGEYeah, like that one better. The french horns remind me of James Horner RIP. A french horn is the signature sound for a starship in my opinion.
Waltzes are the worst.
It annoys me to be reminded about the lyrics to the TOS theme because they only exist to screw people out of royalty checks.
Tell us, what were the lyrics to the original Star Trek theme?
Here’s a sort of decent attempt, no one ever actually sung it officially. The lyrics are in the comments.
So, there actually weren’t any in the show’s theme.
