What is music to you?

I want to know. For me, music is what fill the empty moments and thoughts with something of substance that makes life worth living. Seeing a live performance of a song that speaks to you, or hearing a song pop on the radio at just the right time saying just the right thing, is magic!

I've been in a funk phase for a bit, but still loving everything from Count Basie to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I can't imagine life without this wondrous source of happiness. This is a shout out to all those that put their thoughts, feelings, prayers, personalities, and love into a form we can all hear, thank you, thank you, thank you! Something counter beautiful.
