Music as Literature

In my opinion, i would say music is literature. Lets say for an example someone is listening to a catchy song, and singing along with the lyrics. Sometimes we don't understand what were saying because it's just a bunch of words. But behind those words tell a story, if we were to listen carefully at a song, the listener would understand what the vocalist is saying. It doesn't matter what genre of music is being played, each song telling a story. Just like a novel, a novel tells a story, place and time. By how the author is using his or her words it gives the mood and tone of the story they are telling. Same thing with a symphony, for example; in Hans Zimmers song called S.T.A.Y that song is telling the relationship of a father and her daughter. (The song is from the movie Interstellar) I strongly believe music is literature.
