What Is Music?


What I hear is not aggravating but pleasing the way she is played She gives my heart a beat and has me loving the way She sings the melody to her rhythm I then tune in and listen to the sweet chords that she’s “givin” From a piano key she gets down Her sound has me hooked to a vivid imagery Of one of them movies with Marilyn Monroe Them black and white films, do you not know This is something beautiful into action The introduction of sound not the actress What is Music? What is necessity? Something so essential it becomes obsessively used Even abused that you feel like without it you will lose What is Music? What is identity? Something so profound that you and I will be found With the sound that we tune into showing how we get down What is Music? What is beautiful? Something so fine to ears it excites molecules within That we begin to please ourselves with the way we’re” livin” What I hear is not aggravating but pleasing the way she is played What I hear is Music
