It's been said a gazillion times, but music is a very powerful force where humans are concerned and I guess with animals also, some of which make their own for fun and communication and such things.
I like it when music hits me a little harder in one way or another and have had some surprises in my day, tracks and bands I'd not have thought would do so; I like it though, it keeps life interesting.
I sometimes wonder what humanity would be like without music. I haven't come up with an answer yet.
On 5FDP...most of their music has a lesson, a message or a point, mostly they're good ones too.
I am curious how the impact of music is different from an emotional hit via lyrical content vs the pure essence of the music itself (e.g., orchestral). It's nota very tangible thing to easily philosophise about but... fascinating all the same.
I rekcon if we had not made music, we would... like religion, inevitably make it in the end =D
