Music melts all the separate parts of the body together – Anais Nin
Music is an integral part of life. It is the sound a deaf can hear, the language a dumb can speak, the tune a cripple can dance to and a world a blind can see. It is that part of our memory that never gets erased from the mind. It is the glue which binds two souls together. Music is the medicine for a broken heart. Music is what feelings sound like. Music is our own experience, our thoughts and our wisdom.
Music is not just the song that you probably hear on the radio or in a movie or somewhere else, it is something which is defined in each person’s life differently. For an infant his mother’s voice is the sole music, for a kid joy is music, for a teenager blossoming love is music, for a teacher knowledge is music, for a professional his job is music, for a businessman money is music, for an aesthetic nature is music, for a poet silence is music, for a loner solitude is music, for a devotee God is music, for a musician every little sound is music and for a dying man every breath is a melody. Music is the poetry of the air. There is music in the air, music all around us, the world is full of it and we simply take as much require it. Without music life is bound to be a mistake for it washes away from soul the dust of everyday life. Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart. – Henry Ward
Music is a universal language, which is understood by all living beings. Music is a language with no grammar, no rules, no syllables yet so perfect. It is the language of the heart, it commences where speech ends. Music expresses that which cannot be said and that which cannot be buried in silence. Music of some kind or other is present for every situation. It soothes the soul when you are sad, it provides strength when you are lonely and bounded by fear, it is the expression of love when somehow right words do not come out of your throat. Music is the outburst of the soul. When you are bereft of all pleasures in this world music gives you that which no other thing can give. Some music is present in the core of every being’s heart, there is no person in this world who hates or refrains from music. Music is the ultimate genius of God.
Where words fail, music speaks. – Hans Christen Anderson
Life remains incomplete without music. Nature itself produces music in the form of sounds from waterfalls, the night sky, the birds and the mountain valleys. And as Oscar Wilde says “Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory.”
In the end I would like to quote my favourite lines:
“You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over”
