The use of lyrics was unbelievable and gives you the kind of situation portrayed in the book.

Not everyone is good with words and some find that the best way to communicate their deep emotion is through song. they do this by finding a song that either exactly says what they feel or instills such emotions in the recipient. we have songs for all sorts of situations such a s proposals, break ups, falling in love and even quitting jobs.

I really think so. I bet most songs were made and based on one's experiences, spiced with emotions that were felt in that situation.

Not nessecarily unless the writer uses the right elements to draw the desired emotion and link the music to the appropriate character like this one did

Yes, I believe so. There are times where a particular song can perfectly express what a person feels.

Music, even without lyrics does a great job of capturing and conveying emotions. It is fascinating how it can do that!
It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.

I struggle with this question because I can hear a song and think it expresses what I'm feeling in a clear way; however, when I tell someone that, they don't seem to get the same thing out of the same song.

Music is an art. It is the language of heaven goes down to earth to praise and worship our God. It is one way of expressing when our hearts can say anything but through singing or listening to music, our soul got revive. Be careful of your choice of music then,
Reading is an antidote for...
Anger
Burdens
Discouragement
Fears
Hopelessness
Loneliness
Sadness
Tiredness

Very much. There are some songs that just speak to your situation in a way that makes you believe they were written for you.

Absolutely!!!! I mean just by listening to a musical piece, one can tell the emotion that the singer is expressing and music is a whole language I think can be used in communicating emotions. So my answer is yes.

Certain songs remind me certain times. I vividly remember some situations when I was a little boy simply because of certain songs. When a certain song is played it reminds me of a certain time in my life. It opens my memory and things unfold fresh as yesterday.

There is a sound track for every situation in life. I can't imagine a world without music.

Definitely! Music has the power to move people strongly, and a good musical artist is a good communicator of emotions. Sometimes music says it best.
"Every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader to enable him to discern what...he would perhaps never have perceived in himself."

Music does help in self expression. Artists release their emotions in every music they make and listeners that can relate to their songs also have a sense of relief knowing that they are not the only ones experiencing such emotions.
