Why Do You Love Music? (African, quote, Lute, African drum)

A simple question with an answer that can be infinitely complex: Why do you love music? Try not to have one sentence answers.

I love music because it gets to the core of me. It reaches down into whatever it is that makes me human and amplifies it. It reaches to my extremes. It makes me weep, it makes me laugh. It makes me feel like if there is such a thing as a heaven up there that for a brief period of time, I know what it maybe feels like. It makes me feel primal. It makes me think. It makes me want to love, to hate, and all the things in between. It makes me feel like I matter in a vast, vast world that seems to be going to fast and has a different idea of what is right than I do. It makes me believe in the beauty of humanity.
