Everyone including one individual, 2 people, 3 good friends, or a group of people, keeps a song that represents their story. A song that resides in each of us, symbolizes a personal history that brings remembrance of its conflict, struggles, response, repressed feelings, happiness and expectations. All these feelings and circumstances generates communication unawarily, involuntarily, with intention or consciously in one.
A person would acknowlegde a song because of its lyrics and music that creates a feeling that caught attention and distract a listener. These lyrics may also contain situations and advices that the listener endorses to. Surely, one frequently listens to a song with numerous repetitions because one likes it and feels that this song is related to one lifestyle and story.
Besides, a good song, may be akin to an ongoing communication to a listener. It is because, a good song stays in one's memory. These voices and rhythm would replay itself unawarily in one's mind. A song may also place such a great impact on one that it always creates intrapersonal communication in one.
A song with the name, " Let the music heal your soul " by various singers, states a perception on how humans can react to a song.
"Oh if someone writes a song with a simple rhyme
Just a song where his feeling show
And if someone feels the same about the simple song
Oh sometimes you can hear them say
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also, it also heals your soul
Chorus: Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power
To move any mountain"

A favourable song could decrease stress, motivate, hinder negative emotions, understand you, and make you smile without you noticing yourself. Moreover, Human needs different songs to blend with different environments. It is because these songs would reinforce one's feelings toward the environment.
A specific song may also stands for an ackowledgement between a few people. It tells these people involved regarding some narratives, assumptions and emotions that one would like to inform. Therefore, a song carries different meanings to different groups. A line says, "meanings lies in people, not in words" suits this idea best.
In conclusion, a song is a unique communication form that conveys messages and these messages are not as simple as words, slangs and jargons.
Or else, why would human dance, smile, or cry when they listen to a song?
