How To Save A Life

I, just like several others of my age agree that the music being made these days is like just another season that will eventually go away, lose its charms and character. Seasons come by again as the earth revoles, but here todays music fails to resemble the seasons for they won't be listened to again. Teenagers still crave for music by such legends as Eric Clapton, John Lenon, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, but will the next generation crave for the music by Britney Spears or Eminem? Probably not, but that doesn't also rule out the fact that great music is still being made, music that conveys message that soothes the soul. A good example would be the song 'How to save a life' by the band 'The Fray'. The lyrics so wonderfully written in such simple deep words connects even more wonderfully with the piano and guitars and the soulful voice of the vocalist. Many might still consider this to be plain 'commerical' music but I would ask them to listen to the song again and listen to the lyrics and only then would they know how beautiful it really is.
