What is music?
Well, what?
"It's music to my ears!"
What does that mean? Is music intrinsically good?
Why do we respond to spoken (which includes "sung") words accompanied by rhythms, cadences, harmonies?
What's going on here? Is music the voice of God?
Is it just a Pavlovian response? If so, why?

Music is math, strictly speaking; the sound of math.

I don't think music is math music is primal it is part of our core. Early man was making primitive instruments they had no concept of math. Music is waves that flow through is and come from us. We are always sending out alpha/beta waves. Waves are part of nature something you can't escape from a desire so deep it can't be separated from us because its part of us and all things.

Music is the movement of air. And, according to Frank Zappa, the only religion that delivers the goods.

Plan B - beautiful music - love Sharon Ware - what a great singer. When you get some time, post all the lyrics.
I read a quote once "Art decorates space. Music decorates time" I sort of agree with that.

I've pondered this matter much in my time walking among you Earthlings.
Supposedly, I'm an Earthling myself, so they tell me...
I've always felt however, that my first language, is Music.
Though I'm fluent in English.
Music, well more than ever it has become a subjective opinion
and interpretation, what exactly constitutes music...
Though Frank Zappa did indeed say many interesting things
about it... I like his quote (familiar with it myself)
about Music as the only Religion that Delivers The Goods....
(absolute greatness that quote)
Zappa has also said,
'the type of music that you listen to,
is a vote for your chosen lifestyle'.
Very keen, more so even so today I think.
Sometimes, people don't even agree on what IS music.
Personally, I'm just gonna come out and say it by now.
I Hate Hip Hop. I don't just dislike it. I Hate It.
To me, it's not Music at all... at best it's 'Anti-Music' trying
to be anything but musical...
And Yet, a whole lot of people like that crap.
Okay, Seriously, Kill Me NOW, God. Right Now, it's weird enough, thanks.
For me, music is not music without the magic of melody...
and ah, what is melody?
I say, that, that itself. Melody.
Is a clue to 'the language of God'.
it's how certain songs and records
can transform and transport you... to a new place.
I still remember Phil Spector's work
with Ronnie Spector (Phil is in the quotes today)
"Da Do Ron Ron"....
Incredible work. I also loved "Downtown" by Petula Clark.
Sooo magic.
No I don't think it Pavlovian response----well, Hip Hop is probably that,
in my opinion.... there's people who like it, because they feel it frees them,
(while I argue, trading iron chains, for gold chains, is still being in chains)
and there's stupid white people who pretend to like it,
because they want to appear hip.
Okay, maybe they're not all stupid. I doubt it though.
Melody ---this is my words now, entirely---
"Melody is a map, of the Land of Faith. And Faith is the Key To Heaven."

This quote from my music is truth station header and describes the station and the reason I started it, one of my first stations here at IMP
===========================================================
Music is Truth of who we really are in what we say, sing or play, truth.
Truth (or lies) is in the music we write.music is likened to the reflections of mankind's spirit whether it is bright or dark.The music we make sends out its signal,a message,and it ripples like the water on a lake as a breeze fills the air, shimmering or even raging on the mighty seas. Music comes from our soul and washes through humanity and any who will listen. Music is the soul spirit & heart of mankind. Music is Truth.
