Music as Literature

One of the most effective types of literature that is often forgotten about is music. Music does a great job in telling a story, and is very enjoyable. Some people may argue that music is not literature, but why not? It tells a story, and the person listening to it usually has a response to it. It can make you feel sad, happy, mad, or even hopeful. Sometimes the lyrics are what attract us to the song, and sometimes, it is just the music. The rise an fall and different tones can tell stories without needing words. Musicians are so talented in the sense that just by creating sound; they bring the listener into a different world. Instead of sitting down and watching a movie or reading a book, listening to music is also a very effective way to connect with literature.
