Emphasis on the common emotive or affective origins of music and words in the first cries of humankind undermines words.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words.
Music expresses longing and love and joy better than any piece of dialogue you can ever write.
It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.
It may be that that we can sing what we often cannot say, whether it be from shyness, fear, lack of the right words or the passion or dramatic gift to express them. More souls have rallied to more causes by the strains of music than by straining rhetoric.
Music is that universal language which unifies the spirits of mankind.
Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.
Music is the emotional life of most people.
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.
Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
The nature of music is mysterious and so much so that it generates strong emotions within us. It moves along passages that reach the most intimate areas of our psyche without being tried by prejudices or influences of any kind.
