Nineteenth century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once said that “the effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for others speak only of the shadow, but music: of the essence.” Schopenhauer’s philosophy was a groundbreaking, albeit a complex one. He viewed music as a unique kind of revelation, derived from the world of experience, also known as the phenomenal world. He believed that the “inner nature” of all things was present in individual experiences and he characterized their existence as “the will." Viewing Schopenhauer’s ideals in relation to music with a cultural vibe allows the listener to attain a great understanding of how to listen to a song and its lyrics.
