I believe there is more to music than most of us think. Please share with me any songs you feel have a special meaning. Thanks

Paul,

ALL songs have a special meaning. Good songs are the ones that the writer communicates that meaning to you.

As catsmine says all songs have a special meaning , the ones that I find special to me are the one's I can relate to with things happening in my life.

Amazing how many songs are about Love ;)

Hi, PAULERNY!

Are you open to any style of music, or just certain types of styles of songs, please?

Also, when you say "songs" do you also mean instrumental pieces of music. A lot of people say songs when they also mean just instrumental pieces.

Thanks!

I find little meaning in words within music, save a few songs. I find either instrumentals, or where the voice is not an overlay, but rather an instrument in itself to be the most favorable. When the voice and music mesh as they were written for each other and the combination make you feel emotion (I find the sad ones to be the most powerful), then you have a good song.

Rusted Root: Beautiful People
Peter, Paul, and Mary: Many of their Songs
The Turtles: You Showed Me; Elanore
Starwars Music

That's what really gets me...

Not to mention a good round of Beethoven and Mozart.

Hi, InfoJunkie4Life!

So, what about Beethoven and Mozart, please?

Do you play an instrument or instruments?

Thanks!

Yes. I am pretty good with the Baritone (Euphonium) and Trumpet. But I've been known to play the Tuba/Sousaphone and French Horn. I dabble a little in the piano too.

I'm not a music expert, however I like many older classical musics. I know I have some CD's of both Mozart and Beethoven, and I love them both. As far as names of songs go, I cannot say.

One particular song that's on my mind is Neil Young's After the Gold rush.
