| When somebody says something in words, it is generally difficult to dispute what they mean to say. Words have an objective meaning, so even though there are many different nuances to most things people say, there are not, compared to music, a lot of meanings. Music, though, is different. When you hear a song, there are so many different ways to hear it. The way it was meant to be heard might not be the way a hearer interprets it. It can speak to people in completely different ways depending on experiences, personality, and current mood. When combined, these are beautiful. When the words people choose to complement their music fits perfectly, it is something to be wondered at and respected. And when the words and music are both uplifting, it is truly sublime. |
Outstanding! Very true observation Megan! It's kind of funny, in the age of Google, I often find myself Googling the meanings behind certain songs. It's sometimes interesting to find out what you thought for years is actually very different in meaning. Yet, on the same token, it can oddly make you feel a little lost knowing what you've believed most if your life is now forever changed. Does that make sense? Lol

That makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteI've experienced the same thing even just listening to some songs after having not heard them for a while. Like when I started listening to Linkin Park again, it was strange how when I was a little girl singing along to these songs I really didn't know what they mean.
