It really does seem as though music has been around since the beginning of forever, doesn't it? People have used music to express how they feel when words are not enough to do so for hundreds of centuries now. In Othello, Desdemona randomly starts to sing, in front of Emilia, when she is feeling wary and fearful of Othello, but nowadays when we're feeling angry, overwhelmed, or anything we just plug in our earbuds and listen to our music. Obviously in those times they didn't have iPods or anything like that, but it was still weird to just randomly burst out into song. She is so caught up in her emotions that she doesn't even care anymore.
When I was younger and was sitting about a foot away from the t.v. watching Disney movies, I would always wonder why they would just start singing out of nowhere. Now I can see that it was to set the mood of the movies, and to get the audience to continue watching it. (That realization only took about 10 years).
It's amazing how the lyrics to a song can match up to your current situation and give you the solution to the problem without you even realizing it. That was what always made me love music.
