Bob Marley

Intro Verse

What's the point?

Music has obviously been around for a while, however, no one quite understands why. Music is used to spread ideals, to connect with others, and to tell a story. Music can tell us more about ourselves than we know. This is the true point of music.

Verse

Music inspires us. Music defines us. Music is us.-Tucker Tackaberry

Bridge/Outro

How should I put this?

As you can see, music has always been a part of us, and always will be. As a great man once said, "Music defines us" and it certainely does. It makes us who we are. It shapes our choices; our lives. It shapes our society and our generation. This is why I love it so much. The concept of music is so simple, yet it escapes our understanding in ways we can't even begin to comprehend.

thank you!
