| MUSIC is an integral part our life. It is an art which vividly reflects life. It reveals our opinions and dreams, stirs our feelings and fills our minds with new ideas. We listen to music, we dance to music, at last we relax to music. By and large, music is everywhere: in our iPods, Mp3 players, on TV, over the radio and in our hearts.
The world of music has no limits and everybody will find there something which will meet their preferences and needs. But for music, our life would be dull and monotonous. We enjoy music, because it has a major impact upon our state of mind and imagination, truly reflects our inner state and features of character, arouses deep feelings and makes us think. With its help we reduce tension and get new strength.
When talking about music we commonly imply songs. Songs consist of lyrics and tunes. Innumerable studies have shown that words immensely effect our thinking, conduct and mood, and mostly unconsciously. Favourite songs are played over and over, therefore effecting our perception of the world and other people and awakening our emotions.
Lyrics are the most recognisable constituent of any song. It differs one song from another. It makes it appealing to the audience. Naturally, there is also the beat that makes a song sound unique. But lyrics are far easier to remember comparing to instrumental music. Furthermore, they can be easily translated to somebody else. Thus, you will quicker find a CD, if you remember some prime lyrics of a song you have heard over the radio. Lyrics are an important component of any song which music fans take to. Nonetheless, there are good and bad lyrics. Good lyrics are easy to comprehend and clear to a large range of listeners, since they touch on crucial life situations and tell moving life stories. Bad lyrics largely focus on trifles that are unimportant and have no deep meaning. Often they are simple blurred slogans. A lot of fans seek songs which have meanings.
Thus, good lyrics together with pleasantly sounded tunes turn a song into a musical masterwork which will be listened to over and over by people of different age groups and nationalities and passed down from generation to generation. |
