Music

“Before there were any words, there was music. A language in and of itself, music is the background to life, where emotion dwells. Through time, words evolved, and music-while ingrained in the flesh of every living thing-became a language only for those inclined to study it. To mold it into new formations, push the limits of what was known and what evoked feeling- but ultimately, anything created, no matter how technically perfect, has to be imbued with life. And that life, its presence, could be ascertained by the king most high or the peasant most common-because music, no matter the words put upon it, belongs to everyone.”
