Some have coined music as a universal language.
Perhaps, the complexity of the notes, the
consistency of the beat, the array of instruments,
or the flow of lyricism offers this universal
appeal. Nevertheless, the unique composition of
each song enables it to sustain its own magnetic
aura, much like the musical implication in Lewis
Nordan's Music of the Swamp. Though, many argue
Nordan's piece suggests merely a collection of
short stories rather than a novel, Nordan uses his
singsong methodology-...
