I think this quote sums up my thoughts about music.
" I love music. For me, music is morning coffee. It's mood
medicine. It 's pure magic. A good song is like a good meal-
I just want to inhale it and then share a bite with someone else."

Soothes the savage beast! (that would be me!)
ReplyDeleteFor me music can set a mood. I like different music for different moods. What a gift music is but sometime, I'm in the mood for silence.

As William Congreve wrote in his play The Mourning Bride:
ReplyDeleteMusic has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magic Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?
Totally with you. Music and lyrics in any language are like magic if they are good. If they are mediocre, still better than silence, just lower the volume.
