Music is a miracle. People stopped thinking about what’s actually going on. Because they are so familiar to it. That is a mistake. Nothing else can change our mood and emotions as music can, instantly. No pills can do it nothings else has that mighty power over our emotions and mood. Music is a mysterious language. Of human emotions and mood. What Mozart composed hundreds of years ago, had the same effect on the mood of the listeners back then, as it has today. Morning mood by Edward Grieg. Listen to that. It conveys a feeling, the same feeling on every every listener. Hundreds of years in between. That is the definition of a language. Music is a mysterious, magical language.
