“Music is at once the most wonderful, the most alive of all the arts,” “The effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music of the essence.” Arthur Schopenhauer Without music, life would be a mistake.' - Friedrich Nietzsche “Music is so easy to explain, yet so inexplicable, as it reproduces all the emotions of our inner being without reality, remote from pain. Arthur Schopenhauer Music is the melody whose text is the world. Arthur Schopenhauer Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . Further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. The work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. To be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility. Arthur Schopenhauer “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded a complete failure.”― Emil Cioran Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.- Emil Cioran If music be the food of love, play on. William Shakespeare There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is. ~William Shakespeare I am never merry when I hear sweet music. William Shakespeare Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso Wagner’s music is better than it sounds. Mark Twain
Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a rock music genre and subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the Pacific Northwest U.S. state of Washington, particularly in Seattle and nearby towns. The early grunge movement revolved around Seattle's independent record label Sub Pop and the region's underground music scene. Grunge was commercially successful in the early to mid-1990s, due to releases such as Pearl Jam's Ten, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger, Nirvana's Nevermind, Alice in Chains' Dirt, and Stone Temple Pilots' Core. My favorite musical artists and bands is Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin , Aerosmith & The Stooges
