He screamed for his men to sail onto the island of the Sirens, but again the men could not hear either him or the Sirens, and continued sailing past the island.

This is merely a story, perhaps an excellent fable. However, it shows the seductive power of music.
Music is part of the liturgy of every religion, whether it be for good or evil.
This is because music is universally recognized to be a gateway to the soul. As such, we need to be careful about what kind of music we listen to. This is particularly true of children. As adults, we set a poor example if we listen to music that has the potential to bring damnation to our souls. Of course, most of us do like music.
