Consolation of music is different from the one of words. It starts from the inside... It cries with you instead of telling you to stop crying.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to think that my music allows people that cathartic cry.
I always say if music can't make you cry, you're a hopeless case. I don't cry very much myself, but it's my job to make you cry.
Musical compositions can be very sad - Chopin - but you have the pleasure of this sadness. The cheap consolation is: you will be happy. The higher consolation is the pleasure and recognition of your unhappiness, the pleasure of having recognised that fate, destiny and life are such as they are and so you reach a higher form of consciousness.
Pity speaks to grief More sweetly than a band of instruments.
Music expresses longing and love and joy better than any piece of dialogue you can ever write.
For a long time, I resisted seeing 'The Sound of Music,' but when I finally did, I cried.
Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.
I cry all the time. Music makes me cry.
For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.
It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.
