About This Quote
A quote from an 18th century English writer, Jonathan Swift, who has a lot of times been credited for inventing the term "Gullible". This is a quote about the power of music. He wrote that music should be beautiful, harmonious and soothing. In most cases it can be cruel and can lead to horror.
If you find that most music today is composed in the style of horror movies, then Swift was right. However, there are some songs which do not fit the description. One example would be classical music which is written for a purpose.
It's often used to calm down anyone who hears it.
