Finding Meaning Through Lyrics

Nothing is more moving than music.
You can connect with song like no person.
Music doesn't judge

It is there to comfort you when the sun sets on your dreams,
To inspire you when nothing else can get through,
To pick you up when you’re down and out.

It cheers you up when nothing else has worked.
It protects you from what lurks ahead.
It is there when nothing else is.

You can spend unlimited time with a song and it never tires of you.
It will be a great friend if you let it.
Its feelings won't get hurt when it is time to move on.

No matter what your mood, music complements it.
It will tuck you in at night and still be there in the morning.
You never have to worry, music will never leave you.

It isn't the jealous type, it will share you.
There is nothing more gratifying than sharing it.
It doesn't care if it has an audience of one or of many.

Music is versatile,
It can be appropriate in any setting.
The right song makes any good memory that much more indelible.

Music has much to teach you if you listen.
It has the power to enrich and uplift if you let it.
Music will fill your soul when you feel empty.

When you're at your worst, it works the best.
It won't forgive your transgressions but it will help you get past them.
No one else may understand you but music wants you to understand it.

Music will always have a welcome mat on its front step.
It is always inclusive, the more the merrier.
Whether you're alone or you brought friends, music is the life of the party.

It moves you in a way nothing else ever could, literally and figuratively.
If you close your eyes and take it all in, it will take it all away.
With music, your weight is lifted but you are far from empty.

It is never too late to let it into your life.
Music has something for everyone.
It will not discriminate, neither should you.

Whether you listen to someone else's or make your own,
It can be in your mind or in your heart,
It is always the best company.

Author's Note

It's All Understood by Jack Johnson is the song that provided the most inspiration for this

This is a deeply uplifting write. The power and beauty of music is infinite and you have conveyed this message very well throughout the poem. I just found a few stanzas to be little repetitive; but other than that its a very inspirational write.
