This is incorrect. When it s good there is nothing in life that is better, not drugs, not sex, not food or anything. The only thing that comes close perhaps is holding your new born child in your arms for the first time, however after raising it for a while that feeling will soon wear off but the music remains. When music s bad there are few things worse in life. Bad music ranks right up there with child molestation and politicians as the scum of the earth.
Music is the universal language.
Everybody on the planet has his own little tune in the back of his mind. For all our genius the best thing we do is music. To the lucky few it comes easily, most have to sweat blood to achieve it. Go back a hundred years and listen to Tchaikovsky and you can hear it. Go back another 75 years to Beethoven and you can hear it.
