music appreciation

As for the 5th question
From the form between Robert Johnson and Rolling Stones witn the song "Love in Vain" we can easily hear that the fomer one is as slowly as the latter one.The latter one is full of notes and melody so that the song are apprantly to be enthusiasm rather than the former one which is a little bit more sadness.But that is not important to define whether blues is enthusiasm or sadness.Meawhile,We have to know clearly that sometimes the music play a main role in songs.
Mostly songs are composed by two parts witch are relating to lyrics and music.However ,in my view that the latter one is more important than the formor one.Music is magic that can not only make lyrics which seems like common becoming activity but make the great lyrics can be kept in mind for good by generation to generation.
Frankly speaking,I think it doesn'y really matter of making sense of the lyrics sometimes.The most important one is the contents of music can be accepted by listeners from the music maker.Athough we don't rememeber full of the lyrics,we learn something about the melody.
Plenty of songs are played by musician without lyrics which enable music more meaningful .It is the melody of music itself that contains various feelings.
Just like the light music from Bandary and classical music named Chopin's Piano Concerto No.1.They were prefuing a natural peace and exicting life in mood and they made a lot of master pieces for music.
Thoughs can be understand by listeners and the way for learning can be in many form.
So we can learn music by ourselves let alone without lyrics,We eventually might be deep impressed by the music.

  1. Hi Tony,

    You make a great point about how sometimes the lyrics hardly matter or don't seem to matter at all. Yet, I do think that lyrics often add something special to a song, even if without the music the lyrics themselves wouldn't be that interesting!

    I am glad to see such in-depth posts! Thanks!
