POWER OF MUSIC

Music is such a powerful medium that has the power to get people to say things that might not make any sense or even sometimes have the affect to be offensive to alot of people all because you are saying the words that the artist has written. Literature read isn't always literature agreed with, Are you supposed to bleep out the words that are offensive when reading a biography on a tyrant or when your singing to an angry song full of cursing. Songs like Whitney Houston "I'm every woman have the power to get most people to sing out loud including men even though you may look a little odd when singing. Certain songs that use offensive language in the lyrics still have people repeating the lyrics even if they have no idea what they are actually singing or understanding the true meaning of those controversial words. Artist aren't as straightforward as the arts that are used to tell their story because of this so much can be lost in translation when the average person tries to interpret another persons work. Catchy tunes can distract us from the true essence of the song that doesn't mean we agree with the sentiment it conveys in the music. To some people the perspective that is most important is how it sounds not what is actually being said. Remember we may have different perspectives but it still can lead us to the same outcome enjoying the music for what it is entertainment.
