Brook is a great lover of music. Whether it be through happy or sad times, music is what generally keeps Brook going. As a result, his love for music often reflects itself in various other aspects of his character such as in his fighting style wherein the names of his attacks are derived from various musical songs and dances. He gave himself a musical theme so noticeable that while he was alive in his first life, he was called "Humming Brook" by the authorities.
Brook's devotion to music not only helped him to pass the lonely days but also serves as a combat tool. Most of the techniques that he deals out are named after or related to music. One of them even acts as a hypnosis that sends his enemies to sleep, however, this can also affect allies. Due to his musical background, Brook also moves according to the rhythm of music to assist him in battle, and soon became a world famous rock star during the past two years, at which point his records in tone dials were sold in millions and his fans on his final world tour in Sabaody Archipelago were either crying or fainting at his presence.
Brook believes in and has quoted the philosophy "Good things come to those who wait", given the years he spent on the ghost ship, and Laboon's eternal patience.
The concept of Brook, a skeleton musician, had already been thought up by Oda the first time he drew Laboon. Brook's overall design however wasn't finalized back then but the basic idea was kept for a long time until Brook was finally revealed.
In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces was revealed an early concept of Brook. Oda thought about the skeleton Brook back when One Piece reached the Laboon Arc, but only in the Thriller Bark Arc he was introduced.

Brook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
आज तो पूरी घाटी जागी है
तू भी साथ दे इस धरती का
नाम कर रौशन अपनी माँ का
नाचे मृग नाचे मयूर डोले संग हाथी भी
(डोले डोले डोले डोले)- ३
(हाथी भी)- २
The lyrics of Brooks’s song ‘Jungle’ speak to the beauty and vibrancy of nature. The first line describes the setting as a jungle, but one that is not necessarily dangerous or scary. Rather, it is a place where nature comes alive, and the second line suggests that the entire valley has awoken. The singer then implores the listener to join in and contribute to the brilliance of the earth, making sure to shed light on their mother’s name as well.
The final lines of the chorus highlight the richness of the world around us. Animals dance and flourish together. The deer and peacock (mrig and mayur) sway alongside the elephants. The repetition of the word ‘dole’ adds to the impression of movement, as if the creatures are all rejoicing to some unseen, shared rhythm. It is a joyous scene, one that sounds almost fantastical. However, the song effectively highlights the idea that the world is full of wonder and magic, and that we should all endeavor to appreciate and contribute to that wonder in our own ways.

ये तो बस एक जंगल है
This is just a jungle
आज तो पूरी घाटी जागी है
Today even the entire valley is awake
तू भी साथ दे इस धरती का
You also lend a hand to this earth
नाम कर रौशन अपनी माँ का
Make your mother's name shine
नाचे मृग नाचे मयूर डोले संग हाथी भी
Deers dance, peacocks sway, and elephants also join
(डोले डोले डोले डोले)- ३
Sway, sway, sway
(हाथी भी)- २
And elephants too
नाचे मृग नाचे मयूर डोले संग हाथी भी
Deers dance, peacocks sway, and elephants also join
