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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music evokes so many feelings in us, memories, nostalgia, things that are connected to our past.
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 is there to enrich your life and make you aware of things in a slightly different way.
A song is a lot of things. But, first of all, a song is the voice of its time. Setting words to music gives them weight, makes then somehow easier to say, and it helps them to be remembered.
Music is a lens through which to see who we are. Every phrase of every piece of music is trying to tell a story.
History shows us that the songs - the myth, the experience and the emotion - live longer the less you explain.
I maintain music is not here to make us forget about life. It's also here to teach us about life: the fact that everything starts and ends, the fact that every sound is in danger of disappearing, the fact that everything is connected - the fact that we live and we die.
Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It's transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It's uplifting, it's encouraging, it's strengthening.
Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.
Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.
