Music is different from songs.Songs express feelings with lyrics,but music with tones.Unlike songs,music tones in themselves have no specific meanings.Different people may get different things from the same musical performance.Though some music works are difficult to understand,people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them.Different people like different music:some love classical music,and others take pleasure in pop music.Most young people like pop music.
