Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

I think, for one thing, all of us remember those teenage years and those songs that we fell in love with and the music scene that we were part of. So, in a certain way, music cuts through time like almost nothing else. You know, it makes us feel like we're back in an earlier moment.

Music seems hard-wired into our very being. It moves us, stirs us to action, sets us in motion, sticks in our memories and minds.

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.

Music is what our feelings sound like.

Every significant event that takes place in our lives is set to some kind of music.

Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.

Music is there to enrich your life and make you aware of things in a slightly different way.

Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion - very powerful emotions. That's what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and - people identify with that.

We all had a desire and appreciation for such a wide range of music.
