Echoes of the Soul

Lyrics:
Melodies and words entwine
Like dumplings, skin and filling combined
Is it the beat or is it the rhyme?
That makes this song uniquely mine
What is music? What’s its soul?
Is it the parts or is it the whole?
In a world where art meets the bottom line
Can we still hear the voice divine?
From bedroom studios to center stage
Viral hits define a new age
But as the labels come into play
Will the artist’s voice fade away?
What is music? What’s its soul?
Is it the parts or is it the whole?
In a world where art meets the bottom line
Can we still hear the voice divine?
In commercials and on the screen
Songs tailored to fit the scene
But where’s the heart, where’s the fire?
When algorithms fulfill desire
As AI learns to compose and create
And every listener can participate
Will we lose the human touch?
Or find new ways to mean so much?
What is music? What’s its soul?
Is it the parts or is it the whole?
In a world where art meets the bottom line
Can we still hear the voice divine?
In the end, what will survive?
The essence of music, still alive
Through changes, trends, and technology
The artist’s spirit, wild and free
