The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”. The muses were goddesses (女神) of arts. Music is only one of the arts. One can usually find out how music says what people feel. American popular music, for example, is about things that are common for everyone, so it is enjoyed by people of all ages not only in the USA, but in all other countries. 　　American popular music has many origins in the USA. Country music, coming from the countryside in the southern United States, is one of them. It is about day to day situations and the feelings of country people. Many people love this music because of the strong feelings expressed by country music songs. 　 A second origin of American popular music is the blues (布鲁斯音乐). It described mostly sad feelings about the difficult lives of American blacks. It is usually played and sung by musicians, but it is popular with all Americans. 　　Rock music is a newer form of music. This music was influenced by the blues and country music. Many performers of popular rock music are young musicians. 　　American popular music has become big business. It is one of America’s most important exports today. It is played everywhere in the world and enjoyed by people of all ages in all countries.
