I love the relationship that anyone has with music ... because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out.... It's the best part of us probably ...

About This Quote

Apart from art, music is one of the most powerful forms of communication that we have. It's a language that transcends all languages and all cultures and reaches people who may never even be able to speak it. Music is a universal language and it is because of this that we can all find music that we like and we relate to; we can make music, we can sing it and we can enjoy it. Not many people can understand what it's like to be deaf but they can still enjoy the sounds that they hear. We all have a part of ourselves that is beyond the reach of words and music is one of the most powerful parts of us; it's the best bit about us probably.
