Music is life and life is music. Every day to day life of an average human being, irrespective of gender, race or culture revolves around music. Its importance and relevance in ceremonies, festivals and diverse occasions can never be over emphasized; its uses and benefits to man and space is of great importance. On the other hand, language is life, humans are created to communicate since life is built and maintained on communication. Any day that goes by without any communication is best never existed. Man and animals are created that way hence no man is an island. Music and language are inseparable since there is no music outside sound and sound is language. When music and linguistics combine together, they infuse in man a harmonious and rhythmic feeling that helps us change the way we feel, think and react to situations. The combination of the duo provides us with a means to share our intentions and emotions regarding our lives. This review ex-rays the ethos and pathos on inseparable combination of Music and Linguistics.
