Music is just a description of things which can be significant. I agree that the music itself isn't significant

But it can be a pointer

Art is just a manifestation

It's still a good conduit

And that's why it is strange how people appreciate it more than they do what's behind art

Music is good at communicating and describing certain things that other languages aren't as good at

Yes, like sounds

What?

Do languages like English describe words?

They don't. They use words to describe ideas

Music uses sound waves and rhythm patterns to create pleasant melodies

Poetry can have pleasant rhythms and sounds, too

Yes, when read aloud

Death is a phonetically pleasing word, but it also represents an idea.

oh god

even wrose

worse

somehow

Melodies are the same

Just like I can come up with a meaningless word that sounds pretty, I can come up with a melody just for the sake of it sounding pretty

that doesn't mean that I can't do more

My best shot is that music sparks creativity and curiosity

But again, that's of limited value, and again, speaking from the perspective of significant things

like, globally

Music is a language.

Again, we can go round and round in circles, but music will always remain enjoyment

entertainment

It is worse than prose at describing mundane technical details, but better at describing will itself

Poetry is between the two

Ok, there's ritual purpose too

No, it's a language

It can describe will¨

Just like any language, it can be used merely for sounding or looking pretty

I can write meaningless poetry with great structures

I can come up with meaningless words that sound good

and I can play melodies that sound nice but represent nothing

Well this just was not what I thought it was going to be. Maybe next time?

I don't understand how you don't spot the obvious folly in that position

The "meaning' of music is entirely subjective

Just because an artist gave a song a title does not dictate it's meaning
