us, but

 expresses our joy, nationalism, freedom, happiness, love and struggles in the finest form of arts. Despite the huge popularity of international
music
, traditional
music
 is still more important due to its adherence to the traditional aspects of a country. We need
music
 because it makes our
life
 meaningful and accompanies us throughout our lives. In our childhood, we listen and learn
music
 simply as a form of entertainment and joy. We learn to sing our national anthem and our parents sing to us to help us sleep. Later in
life
, we come across a variety of songs and
music
 as part of our
life
 stories and our favourite
music
 often defines the person we become. In our old age, we see
life
 and recite memories through
music
 we love.
Music
 both expresses and arouses emotions in a way that words alone cannot, and it tells stories of our lives that we long to hear.
Thus
 we need
music
 to relax, to be entertained, to be inspired, to express our feelings and often to relieve boredom in
life

music
 is the most important, we must acknowledge that traditional
music
 teaches people about their history and helps people remember and retain their national and cultural identity. International
music
 is often set in a totally different environment that we have no experience in and despite engaging and entertaining lyrics and

 style, it is often a commercial product which fails to reflect the true stories in our
life
