music and lyrics

A song is a music for singing. A music cannot sing itself without lyrics. Lyrics are basically poetry. A poem that hides behind the music.  A song cannot be a song if there is only music without any lyrics. They have to go together hand in hand for a full blown emotional experience. A music entertwined with lyrics is such a beautiful thing. Such powerful emotions it can provoke and evoke.



Musicians and poets convey their thoughts and feelings through words. The only difference between the two is that poets are raw and biting while musicians hide the words behind the melody. I am passionate with poetry as i am passionate with music. Poetry is a voice on itself and music is a voice behind the melody.



Music and lyrics is a powerful thing that should not be taken lightly. Everything has a meaning even though it is used for entertaining. And yes, i am writing this with the movie at the back of my mind. Even though its quite a sappy sort of movie, i think there is still some truth in it albeit not all of it.
