Money has purchasing power and it does change our lives in many ways. While some people are content with what they have, for some the thirst of money never ends. While money cannot buy you love and happiness it certainly provides us with a means we associate with being self-content. Since early days in music, singers and songwriters have offered a varied perspective on money and how it affects our lives. While the word ‘money’ has been applied in myriad ways theoretically and practically in the realms of music, a number of musicians have used the word ‘money’ as a reference to highlight issues associated with it.

Is Money Leading Us in the Right Direction?

We are rooted in an evil evolution of money, and we do not realize it’s pointless gaining, gathering or accumulating wealth for the future. In a parallel economy where trends are influenced by social media, it’s dangerous to foresee an economy driven with money.

We are headed in a direction where market crashes will affect economies tremendously. A number of singers and songwriters have expressed their thoughts about money in a lucid manner through reflective lyrics. Many songs narrate a tale of how money changes everything. In many rock songs, pop songs, folk songs and country songs, thought provoking lyrics describe how individuals change with money.

Songwriters love to tell stories based on life experiences. Many songs in different genres tell awe-inspiring real-life accounts about how parents work tirelessly to make ends meet. The evils of greed and power associated with money have been picturesquely narrated in certain lyrics of songs. Money influences people positively or negatively.
