Define Music.

Go ahead, take a moment...

What is it?

Why is it?

For some, music is simply one of life's many luxuries. Ubiquitous as water, it makes tasty more refreshing.

For others, it's as necessary and pleasurable as a cool glass of water after a long walk through the scorching desert; it's essential, life-giving, life-affirming.

Like many of you, I've spent a lifetime under Music's spell, and it's my lifeline, my muse, my better self. It elevates and transports me.

Music makes me believe.

Yet I can't define Music; it defies math or science or rhyme or reason, while encompassing them all in a ball of string as if it were but a game.
