Music

It seems as though everyone says, "music is my life," or, "music is everything."  I know that music is not everything in my life, but it's definitely a powerful tool.  Music can help one survive an emotionally hard time, because when an artist sings, it feels as though they empathize with you. It feels like there is a song about everything and anything that happens in life.  There are songs about love, or a lack thereof.  There are songs about friends, parties, almost any emotions or even music itself.  Another topic that is argued in music, is what is the most important part of a song?  I believe that lyrics are the most important part of a song.  I hold this to be true because people often sing along to songs, rather than play along.  Also, the lyrics create the mood to a song, and I listen to songs depending on what kind of mood I'm in, rather than what beat I'm feeling.  Controversially, however,many people would argue that maybe the beat is the most important, or the melody of the instruments.  In conclusion, music is an important part of life in which we all partake, and lyrics define each and every song.
