The idea of music being a literal language for communicating in the same way that English or French is can feel kind of trite, but I genuinely believe that it's true. Not in a metaphorical sense, but in a very literal and true way, music is a different way of communicating shit that we feel to each other. It's completely unique among all other languages in that almost every person in the world has an intuitive understanding of it, and the same music can connect in the same way with people from different cultures. How cool is that!
