My Definition of Music

I'm not a psysic or a charlatan but I'm guessing an airpod or headset is currently crawled in around your body. Who loves music? Us. Who listens to music? Us. Well, its proven with and without collective scientific evidences shows that most of the people are listening to music everyday thru FM radio, podcasts, etc. Let's thank Spotify for bringing music in front of our very door. Read this: not all music involves instrument like drums, piano, or trumpet. We have natural music and sounds everywhere like in nature for instance the streams in the river or falls, thunder, owl's cooing, howling, baby's laugh, etc.

Generally, music is composed of the lyrics, its singer, notes and instruments. I will give you an idea that we are not listening to music. Honestly, we are just contemplating on the lines (lyrics) of the music. I know some of you will not agree to this due to the facts that most of you finds all music as good to ears. Yes, I fell that. Take this one example: Korean Boy Band Group BTS and Black Pink (all girls group) has been worldwide hit currently for their bombastic type of music and songs with matching dance top on it. Well, I'm a Filipino citizen and honestly I can't understand what their music all about. I find culture and language has became the "solid barrier" because not whole population in the world understand and able to read Hangul (Korean alphabet). It takes time to master that. Let's that sink in!

You might not get my point but its the truth. Some of us only listen to music because we want to extract the idea(s) of the lyrics behind those words. While others just listen because they just want to. On the bright side, music's helps us to understands how it touches our life as the tone and beat reflected on us.
