Andrey- Music

What does music in essence really represent? Why is the human race so infatuated with the concept of music/song? I believe that all music, after its initial play in a certain situation or moment, literally becomes that moment. Music is memories; that nostalgic feeling that overcomes you and almost tangibly, visibly, and emotionally allows you to relive that moment, which you would otherwise not even remember if you did not hear that particular piece of music. Music that triggers memory almost literally takes you out of the present world and into the previous. Where would we, as humans, be today without music? Is music responsible for any of the advancements humanity has accomplished? Does music ever hit someone deep inside so hard that it gives them an epiphany that changes perception or the world? Music often leads to peace, love, and unity, which results in positive outcomes. A concert with thousands of people is a perfect example. Through the music and ecstatic experience, people of different cultures and nations unite under the umbrella of musical journey, which transforms into an almost sacred like experience.
