About This Quote

When you listen to a song that is embedded with a different meaning to what it was originally intended for, you are hearing something that has been altered to please people's desires. This is because music is created as a commercial product. It is designed to be played so that people can buy or listen to it. On the other hand, music is created for the purpose of being enjoyed. The latter is what can be considered art and music should be listened to for the sake of enjoyment rather than consumption.
