Story told in songs

I am a huge music fan. I’ve never understood when people would be like “I don’t like hip hop, or rap, or even country. I agree there are certain songs in every genre that are boring to listen to or just isn’t good. However, in every different type of genre there is a story being told. Music is just basic poetry that people alter to tell there story of love, hardship, hustling etc. Poetry itself doesn’t have to rhyme either. There are plenty of songs that don’t rhyme, but has a nice flow and has a good back story to it. This is why Jazz is my favorite type of music to listen too. The thing with jazz is that improvising is everything. You create the song and then recreate it anytime you want. There’s no pattern one has to follow when playing jazz.

One thought on “Story told in songs

  1. Joe, I completely agree with your statements. Music is an artform and it should be appreciated for the story that is told in the bars and for its method of delivery (genre). In the past, I limited myself to certain types of music such as hip hop or pop, but when I started listening to music from the past and other genres such as country, I started appreciating music for what it was, an art form.
