Music as Literature

In many ways, music can be considered as literature. One way is that music is poetry. When music has lyrics, often, they express feelings and thoughts to the listeners. Even in the instrumental-only music, they express mood and feeling and it can influence one's mood from simply listening to it. It can induce happiness and sadness, just like in every literature. Every song is worth a thousand words. Like literature, music is art and music is literature.
