However universal music may be, it still is not exactly a specific method of communicating needs, desires, etc. to others because of the interpretation factor. Language is universal also, but everyone interprets it differently. For instance, the English word hairy is understood by English speakers to mean "something that has an abundance of hair." However, to non-English speakers, it could mean "something you cook with." In this same way, music is not understood by all in the same way. A note is interpreted different ways by different people. Thus, it could not be effectively taught as a foreign language.

It's another night in hell, Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death
And as we sit free and well, Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath
C'mon now amen, amen, amen
