Song Meaning

There are so many amazing songs with their own particulary song meaning that can be linked to endless interpretation. What is the artist really trying to say? Is the song influenced and created through personal experience or was it just bought off of a writer? The words written down, composed, and performed by the musicians can be transcribed into any symbolism which can furhter build an emotional connection in the listenter. Trying to find the real song meaning enables the listener to relate to the lyrics and truly connect with the author. When we can connect with the music and the artist it brings us to a completely higher level of living. I feel that this is why we love music so much. It can make us happy, sad, or even filled with a warm feeling in our tummys. With all of this emotion wrapped in such a small group of words I am driven to find out what the artist, writer, or musician is truly feeling and what compelled them to write thess that can come so far as to alter my emotional state. I am positive that at one point or another every individual has used music a form of therapy whether they know it or not. It really is a wonder how words combined with certain sounds and melodies can equate to a different emotion. By listening to a wide array of works and looking for the underly symbolism music takes upon a completely different feeling and relationship to an individual. I am telling everyone to think of a certain song that they find uplifting and play it in the morning the moment they wake up and without a doubt they will have a more fulfilling day and truly enjoy their experiences throughout that particular day all do to mere words and their song meaning.
