In times of war, starvation, hunger and injustice, such tragedy can only be put aside if you allow yourself to be uplifted through music, film and dance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is a weapon in the war against unhappiness.
Music enriches people's lives in the same way paintings and literature do. Everybody deserves that.
I think art can reflect tragedy.
I hear music that comes out of need, out of grief, sorrow, suffering and out of overcoming these things, as well. That journey to freedom still goes on today. It's an incremental change, the culmination of many events in your own life and the lives of your children and grandchildren.
By showing hunger, deprivation, starvation and brutality, as well as endurance and nobility, documentaries inform, prod our memories, even stir us to action. Such films do battle for our very soul.
Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.
When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.
There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured, such as poetry, music, painting, public speaking.
Dance, theatre, etc. as art, will disappear along with the dominating 'expression' of tragedy and harmony: the movement of life itself will become harmonious.
No matter what you do for a living all we have is music to get through certain situations.
