Music is art in the form of sound; as such it is a motion. Motion of the body, motion of the mind, or motion of the heart. Music can usually always be classified in one of these. I confess that I’m not an expert on any of them, but what I do know is that of all 3 of them, I identify the most with (and by a significant degree), the Motion of the Heart.
Our taste in music is powerfully subjective and mood shifts with time and life’s experiences, but for me Music reflects LIFE which is objective. (and life contains themes of love, hope, fear, joy and all the things that are most primitively human). For me Music gives us the most accurate possible expression we human’s can give (and receive) of the self-evident truths we all strive and struggle with everyday. I can’t see the same level, the same scope of those things in the other Motions other than the Heart. It’s not that they are not there, I’m simply not seeing it. Perhaps I’m blind and I just can’t see it expressed in those movements.
