The Primary Objective of Music

"I believe the primary objective of music is communication. This is mostly evident in the lyrics of a song being interpreted by an artist, the singer. Why is this so? Because music is a very effective channel of communication. Have you noticed that it’s much easier to memorize a song than any other piece of literature, like a poem? The poem may have exactly the same words as in a song, but because of the music injected into the song, our emotions feel more of what its trying to convey in terms of rhythm and melody rather than just a mere reading of verses of a poem."
