Chapter 5

"How can listening to music by others help us to understand them?"

I think that a lot of people who write their own songs tell stories all the time of their life. The music they write usually has a deeper meaning than we as people think. But if you listen to the lyrics by artist who write their own music you can really understand them. I'm not saying that they absolutely have to write their own music to get to understand them but it makes it a little easier. When they perform what other people write you are usually getting the feelings of the person who wrote it. We just have to really pay attention to the messages given to us by artists because a lot of people just listen to the music because the artist or the beat. In order to better understand them you have to make a real effort to understand them. People have to really understand that they are human and they have issues in the past and present time that people face everyday. That's another way for us to better understand the artists that entertain us.
