Plato: Music...gives wings to the mind, a soul to the universe, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, a life to everything.
Considering "musical" threads of the past, is this a good description of music? What (if anything) would you add?

I'm not much of a music person, but I understand the statement and sort of agree with it. I think I migth be taking music for granted.. I listen to it everytime I get in my car so.... maybe Plato was right.
