Music Story Mutualism
2025-09-01
A story can gain even more weight by association with music. Having rhythm and mood imparted (or strengthened) by it.
I love stories told in a medium where music can play such a role. The music bolsters the story and the story it.
When I then listen to the song outside the story’s original medium, to me the music now carries the emotions of the story that it itself heightened. A wonderful mutualism.
One reminds me of the other. For me, forever intertwined. The combination etches itself into my memory.
This thought of mine is perhaps nothing more than a acclamation to my perception of its wonder. To the amazing potential of storytelling mediums where music can exist.
I have no deep knowledge of music, I merely experience it. That however has no sway on the effect that a music can bring to a story I live through.
This is nothing but my opinion, my thoughts and feelings on it. But to me, music can make the feelings sparked by a story strike deeper—and made to last.
