Are u a conveyor of musical meaning or a conveyor of music?
Have u ever like a song so much that u always want to sing it?
I guess many would have experience of that. However, how much do u understand of that song?
I guess many would say they understand when in fact they cant really understand how and why the song was written, and probably why certain words are used.
Some writers work to express their feelings discreetly, used some words that seemed ordinary to many, yet they mean something to someone related. They wanted to let out some feelings that is being confined within and song writing provides a channel for them to dispose of those unhealthy feelings or even passed on positive feelings to others.
If u dun understand any intention of the writer, but u juz like the song and u like to sing it during ur bath or at any other place which u feel comfortable with, den effectively u are a good conveyor of music. u are one who will pass the song onto others who have not heard it.
On the contrary, if u read up on the writer's background, compare his previous works, understand his philosophy, hence able to digest the meaning of this current song and sing it with those feelings, den u are the conveyor of his "musical truth". This is then the essence of song listening.
The difference of these 2 categories is that the latter is of a higher level that makes songs more interesting by accepting and passing on the truth of this song. While the earlier may only imply a mere transmission of song, without any thoughts, meanings.
Are u a conveyor of musical meaning or a conveyor of music?
