Music as Literature

Can we consider music as literature? In my opinion, yes. If you haven't noticed, every song tells a story, whether it's Johnny Cash spinning a yarn abut a ghostly band of Outlaws to Queen singing about how they grew up in the shadow of the Attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan(Hammer to fall, Lyrics: Growing up in the shadow of the Mushroom cloud).

Songs can deliver a message to everyone who listens to it, it can bring them together or drive them apart. What do you think?

What's the difference between a Novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera, and a symphony? A novel is a collection of stories, a poem is a short story, a rap is a story with rhythm, an opera is a story sung for several hours, and a symphony is a story that you must create the words to. They're all stories, just presented in a different fashion.
