Sebastian FaulksA bit of the vagueness of music stops you going completely mad, I imagine.
About This Quote
Music is a powerful thing. It can transport you to a different place or time, it can provide a moment of solace in your life, and it can even help you forget about your problems for a while. That’s why music is so important to the people who listen to it day in and day out. But there is no denying that a little bit of vagueness in music can stop you going “completely mad”, as this person suggests in his quote.
