Can Songs Be Applied to More Than They Are Intended To?

Question by raigafan18: Can songs be applied to more than they are intended to?
For example…

For a college project focusing around drug addicts, I plan on using the song “Fix You” in the background of the slideshow as a salutation to rehab treatment and the path to recovery. Is this appropriate?

Yes, it is most definitely appropriate.

Usually, songs are more than just words with a tune, they are like a story that the artist has written. Each song tells a story, hence songs have more depth that many people can comprehend.

I saw an ice skater skating beautifully to the sounds of “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix. It was amazing. And a national dance contest where the dancers used a Rumba to interpret “The Star Spangled Banner.”

I say “yes.!”
