Ways to tell them apart:
- Music is an art form that involves organized sound, typically melody, harmony, and rhythm.
- A song is a specific piece of music with lyrics.
- All songs are music, but not all music needs to be a song.
- Music can be instrumental, without any vocals, unlike a song, which typically has words sung.
- You may say you enjoy a certain type of music (like jazz), but you often refer to a particular piece as a song if it has a singer.
