A question brewed up a few nights back and it kinda stuck around longer than I thought it would. It’s mainly because the more one thinks on it the more interesting the answer is.
The Question: Is the fact that we’re mortal the driving power behind music?
The more I think about the songs that really mean something to me the more I feel they would lose all their power and meaning if I lived forever or if we were not so aware of our mortality. If we didn’t think death was such a big deal I doubt many great bands would even be around today let alone music sounding or evolving the way it has.
