Music Basics
What is Music ?
In the most general of terms, music is the arrangement of sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, or otherwise expressive content.
For me it is self exploration and self expression.

What is purpose of Music ?
All the sorrows, difficulties and problems can only exist in the dimension of time. If we can escape dimension of time even for few moments, we forget our problems and sorrows for that period of time and start fresh.
It can elevate mood or feel relived after the expression of emotions is done in creative outlets.
Music is a outlet to express emotions, it plays a substantial role in culture, it provides entertainment, it gives people an outlet to be creative, it helps us understand beauty, and it has value on its own.Â

How does music works as a brief escape ??
The beat patterns are like a blank page that we fill colors in form of other instrumental notes.
Beat count goes like this 1 2 3 4Â and repeats 1 2 3 4 ,1 2 3 4Â
In music beat is the measure of time. Now let us consider the first line of song is 8 beat long
the second will also fit in that 8 beat long
1 2 3 4Â 1 2 3 4Â 1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4Â 1 2 3 4Â 1 2 3 4
for example if lyrics of first lines start at count 1
the second line will also start at count 1
since there are 12 beats ,you can have breathing room of 4 beats for lyrics or there could be many other ways of composing your song.

There are two main parts of Music that are easily distinguishableÂ
Vocal
 Instrumental
To understand instrumental music it is better to further divide in two main sectionsÂ
1. Percussions :
 musical instruments played by striking with the hand or with a handheld or pedal-operated stick or beater, or by shaking, including drums, cymbals, xylophones, gongs, bells, and rattles Â
2. Other Instruments like wind instruments such as Brass( trumpet, French horn, trombone, and the tuba. )  String (guitar, electric bass, violin, viola, cello, double bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and harp. ) and few more.

Lyrics Composition and Instrumental mix - Amrik Khabra
why are you that far come here
hug me, kiss me, love me dear
          don't know why I feel so good
       when I find that you are near
   why are you that far come here
hug me, kiss me, love me dear
        Your love is enough to make me sing
     I don't need whisky, wine or beer
  why are you that far come here
hug me, kiss me, love me dear
            time flies so fast when you are around
        when you are far one week is a year
   why are you that far come here
hug me, kiss me, love me dearÂ
