A musician (or instrumentalist) is a person who plays a musical instrument or is musically talented. Anyone who composes, conducts, or performs music may also be referred to as a musician.
Musicians can specialize in any musical style, and some musicians play in a variety of different styles. Examples of a musician's possible skills include performing, conducting, singing, composing, arranging, and the orchestration of music.
In the Middle Ages, instrumental musicians performed with soft ensembles inside and loud instruments outdoors. Many European musicians of this time catered to the Roman Catholic Church, providing arrangements structured around Gregorian chant structure and Masses from church texts.
Renaissance musicians produced music that could be played during masses in churches and important chapels. Vocal pieces were in Latin—the language of church texts of the time—and typically were Church-polyphonic or "made up of several simultaneous melodies." By the end of the 16th century, however, patronage split among many areas: the Catholic Church, Protestant churches, royal courts, wealthy amateurs, and music printing—all provided income sources for composers.

Mr. Musician sing your song,
I came out here alone tonight,
So let me bath in your stage lights
Mr.Musician sing your song,
I will hum the melodies,
Cause he knows all the words to this,
Little that you know, little that you know,
He used to sing your song,
No, when nothing could go wrong.
Little that you know, little that you know,
This people raising up their hands,
But I just want to be with him,
Little that you know,
You're the only thing I have of him.
Mr. Musician sing your song,
I will try and sing along,
even though it hurts me to the bone
Mr. Musician sing your song,
Only you can take me back in time,
When I was his and he was mine.
Little that you know, little that you know,
He used to sing your song,
No, when nothing could go wrong.
Little that you know, little that you know,
This people raising up their hands,
But I just want to be with him,
Little that you know,
You're the only thing I have of him.
**You're the only thing (you're the only thing)
That I have of him (that I have of him)
You're the only thing (you're the only thing)
That he left me wait (That he left me wait)
You're the only thing (you're the only thing)
That I have of him (that I have of him)
