a statue of music:
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

Well, some people say that better than the silence only John (J. Gilberto),
but I think this subject is surely deservous - not a native speaker, sorry, not always sure of the statute of some words - of further enquire.
Look, when we hear something like lets say, Chopin, in an old gramophone, we could definitely suspect melancholy, and, in fact, the myth of Orpheus seems to point a quite melancholic chant, If we consider Orpheus is the more important symbol of music in the greekish wisdom.
However, do you remember on school those boring lessons about dhanistha nakshatra? God knew that werent for nothing, It happens that a beat stimulates the mind and the body, and no one can listen a nice groove without feeling disposed to start a "Macarena"...
Voila the very paradox of the sound, while its activity, the vibration, the beat, seems to stimulate joy, its very possibility, the silence, seems to be utterly melancholic.
In other words, we need silence to hear, but what vibrates, call us to dance.
How could we possibly comprehend that?

Better than this only the silence. Better than the silence only John.

for me, music, or more specifically, song, is more like a mood changer, or mood enhancer, or mood supressor.
most of the time i listen to songs randomly, meaning that i never know what song foobar2000 will play next from my music collection.
so, for example, foobar2000 might randomly play the song "time" by pink floyd and if my mood before that song was "happy"... after that song my mood might be "depressed".
but then foobar2000 might (unlikely) play "any color you like" right after that song, which is a tune from the same band, and my mood might change from depressed to euphoric.
but of course, i can press foobar2000's stop button at any time, or the "next random song" button, or other buttons, depending on my mood need for that time of day.
right now i'm in the mood to push my belly button. okay so ciao eh?

humans dont know silence (except the profoundly deaf) as it doesnt exist except for at the farthest reaches of the universe.Ksamphos wrote: Mon Apr 27, 2020 5:34 pm Well, some people say that better than the silence only John (J. Gilberto),

however, that which we call silence, is all part of the whole. music without silence wouldnt be dynamic and it would have no movement.
we wouldn't perceive music the same, without that which we call silence.
as for how we comprehend it, bongs help.
