What is different between song and music? ›

In the most definitive form of itself, 'music' is a piece of music, which is a general definition of any piece of composed musical work. Song is a type of musical piece, one that involves lyrics, it is sung with or without accompaniment.

As someone who has studied music theory, history, and composition at the university level I can tell you that “musics” (yes, plural, not possessive) is used. “World musics” is well understood in music theory classes to refer to different music theories and constructions used in various parts of the world.

Beside the above, renowned scholars like: Imam Ghazzali Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi, Ibn al-Qaisarani, Rumi, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, and Ibn Hazm. They all say that listening to music halal. Imam Ghazzali stated: “All these Ahadith are reported by al-Bukhari, and singing and playing are not haram.”

Musicians today all say "song" when they mean music. Music without words is music, melody, composition, but it's not a song. Song* pertains to voice. It can be a song and have no words at all, just vocalizations, but it must have voice.

Music and sound are closely related, but they are not the same thing. Sound is a vibration that travels through a medium, such as air, and can be heard when it reaches a person's ear. Sound can be produced by many sources, including humans, animals, and machines. Music, on the other hand, is a form of organized sound.

A song is indeed something that is sung, but it is also a musical work and a piece of music. Most musicians would not refer to everything that is sung as a song though - a song is usually relatively short (no more than a few minutes) and, in particular, has one main melody.

“Song” Broadly speaking, a piece is any music without words or singing, while a song has words and vocals. This is a minor point for most people, but if you call a symphony a song in a classical music crowd, then you'll stand out like a sore thumb.
