The Best Music

[Squirrel]

Music is intensely personal, and covers basically every situation and every emotion.

Some songs can be interpreted multiple ways by various people, and are just as important to certain ways of thinking as the next, despite the overall interpretation being wildly different.

To me, the #1 rule for music, is never to diss someone else's choice of music that means something to them.

That said, I think just about everyone has one categorization of music, that they'd say they just can't stand.

I'm not going to share a tune, but rather the opening set of lyrics as sort of an introduction to "Hold On" (by an old band named Triumph that few or perhaps none of you have ever heard of):

"Music holds the secret
To know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes
It's the sounds inside your soul

Magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head
Like a dream, like a dream"

Each to their own, in this medium, but I bet that very few people can say that no music affects them profoundly.
