| MUSIC is an important part our life. It is an art that truly reflects life. It expresses our dreams and thoughts, awakens our sentiments and fills our minds with new ideas. We listen to music, we dance to music, finally we relax to music. Actually, music is all around us: in our Mp3 players, iPods, on TV, over the radio and in our minds.
The universe of music is unlimited and everyone will find there something that will satisfy their tastes and demands. Without music our life would be colourless and monotonous. We enjoy music, for it influences our mood and imagination, truly reflects our inner state and features of character, stirs deep feelings and makes us think. With its help we relieve strain and obtain new strength.
When talking about music we usually mean songs. Songs are all based on lyrics and tunes. A lot of studies have proved that words considerably effect our thinking, actions and state of mind, and mostly unconsciously. Favorite songs are played over and over, therefore affecting our understanding of the world and other people and awakening our emotions.
Song lyrics are the most recognizable component of any song. It makes one song sound different from another. It makes it appealing to the audience. Surely, there is also the beat that makes a song sound unique. But lyrics are a lot easier to remember than instrumental music. Moreover, they can be easily translated to somebody else. Therefore, you will faster find a CD, if you remember some major words of a song you have heard over the radio. Lyrics are a significant component of any song which music fans give special attention to. Still, there are good and bad lyrics. Good lyrics are comrehensible and clear to a large range of listeners, since they touch on important life situations and tell moving life stories. Bad lyrics chiefly concentrate on trivial problems that are of little importance and have no deep meaning. Often they are simple slogans one step away from sheer gibberish. Most fans buy CDs with songs that have meanings.
Hence, good lyrics combined with pleasantly sounded melodies turn a song into a musical masterpiece that will be listened to over and over by people of different age and race and handed down from generation to generation. |
