Emotions Expressed In Music

When I say art, every person reading this paper could potentially think of something different. This is because there are so many different kinds of art that it is hard to come up with an all inclusive definition for the word. Instead of trying to look at all of the different kinds of art, I am going to focus on art as an expression of emotion.

Over the course of a day in your life, you experience many different emotions. You can feel happy, confused, sad, angry, or embarrassed. Everyone has their own way of expressing these emotions and some people choose to sing about them. One of the most powerful forms of art is a song that is written to express an emotion, whether it be happiness, sadness, or anger.

A great example of a song written to express happiness is “A New Day Has Come” by Celine Dion. Celine Dion wrote this song shortly after the birth of her new baby.

By expressing emotions through music, it makes it more than just a song. The lead singer, John Fogerty, of Creedence Clearwater Revival wrote a song called “Fortunate Son” expressing his anger about how everyone was pushing him to go to war. This song is a true expression of emotion shown both by the strong lyrics and feeling heard in the John Fogerty’s voice, making it not only a song but a form of art.
