Music is playing inside my head
Over and over and over again
My friend, there’s no end to the music

Ah, summer is over
But the music keeps playing
And won’t let the cold get me down

Pictures are forming inside my brain
Soon with the colors they’ll rain together and grow
Then don’t you know, don’t you know there’ll be music

Ah, it’s not always easy
But the music keeps playing
And won’t let the world get me down

Music is playing inside my head

About Lyrics and Music by Carole King

The lyrics to Music are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Carole King in 1971. Elements of the lyrics to Music are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Carole King and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Music back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Music by Carole King in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Music" means the words set to the music of Music, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Carole King. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Music and the lyrics to Music are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Carole King who came here looking just for the lyrics to Music, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
