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
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
It just suggests artists INTENTIONS
The artist can have an intent and a message, however.
Which are for the listener irrelevant
So I guess I will use a Rammstein song the next time I want to promote heterosexual experiences.
You was talking about music from technical point of view i guess
The meaning of anything is always partially subjective
Sure I can write a song ABOUT something
Music more so than prose, prose more so than math
This is true in all languages
Ever notice how Bach names his songs "Toccata and Fugue" or "Fugue in D minor"
And Wagner "TRISTAND AND ISOLDE"
"RING OF NIBELUNG"
What does that tell you
actually, Bach named them BWV 049
"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul."
