Orhan Pamuk does not directly address the importance of music except for a few brief instances throughout the book. One of these instances is how he refers to a Turkish song he often hears in the tea houses which reminds him of his childhood. By placing these two things together Pamuk is trying to say that music is a trigger for memories. Also he is trying to say that music is vital to existence because it is always around us and a part of our lives. The other way which Pamuk expresses the importance of the fine arts is through the idea that the coup is instigated by a theater group. The deeper meaning behind this is that artistic expression is required for change to occur in life on a individual level and on a social level.

The song "Sitting Waiting Wishing" by Jack Johnson is a perfect example of a real life music example for Snow because the song reflects the aspirations that Ka has to be with Ipek.

here is another song that relates to the book. To Ka, Ipek was everything. The name of the song is "Everything," by Michael Buble!
