Instead of having regular discussions about music. I thought about have MQOTW - Music Quote of the Week. Each week I will put up a quote about music. And we can discuss it😊

QOTW:

"I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality." ~H.A. Overstreet

Questions:

1. What do you think of the quote?

2. Do you find it to be true?

3. What do you think H.A. Overstreet was thinking about while writing this quote?

4. Does this quote inspire you by any chance? If so, how? If not, why not?

*Do not feel you are limited to these questions, include your own thoughts as well

QOTW:

"I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality." ~H.A. Overstreet

Questions:

1. What do you think of the quote?

One of the best definations of music.

2. Do you find it to be true?

Obviously, different people have different ways of expressing their emmosions..different languages..but a with single music based on a particular emmosion each and every one can express his/her similar type of emmosion..it doesnot matter what is the language of the music.Actully probably music has only two languages one of melody and the second of heart...

3. What do you think H.A. Overstreet was thinking about while writing this quote?

Probably what I am thinking now,JK, no idea, sorry.

4. Does this quote inspire you by any chance? If so, how? If not, why not?

Yeh, I felt like this about music but couldnt express it in words..Now I am sure I have atleast one friend in each and every emmosional situation..and its music.
