Songs have a story to tell. Some tell what’s going on in the head, some about what’s going on in the heart, and some about what is happening at the moment.
While dialogues voicing all these feelings can really spoil the nuances, songs fit in just right. They fill the spaces between dialogues and cover for the lack of words.
