Why Do We Need Music In The World?

Well, to be honest the immediate answer to this question was: "Why don't we?" If someone could seriously agree with this statement, I would be stunned. Why? Because, I am sorry, it is absurd.
Music is the, very cliché but true, universal language that the entire world understands. Music is the 'force' that binds us all. If you let an African person listen to a song that is considered to be sad in Europe, he will call it that too.
Music is communication. African tribes used the sounds and rythms of their drums to communicate with each other over enormous distances. Nowadays commercials are full of music that communicate a certain feeling. Lyrics of songs communicate certain messages to the listener, whether it is serious or not. That does not matter, the fact is that a message get across.
Music is our history. In almost every event in history, music is in some way involved. When important people were buried, people always mentioned the music played. When colonisers entered a new territory they had a band or a small orchestra with them to impress the people. Slaves managed to escape due to hidden messages in music, etc etc.
Music is a bottomless well in wich you can place emotions, and from which you can get them too. You can leave your sorrow behind by making music. The Blues and Soul are all about getting rid of emotions, sing about your sorrow and the things you have been through instead of keeping it inside you.
Music is in everything. The beating of your heart is a rythm, as is the sound of someone walking, the hammering of a woodpecker, the sounds from a construction site, the sound of yout typing, your breating. All are rythms. Then the music. It is in the sounds of birds, of elephants, of cats, of dogs, of car horns, of a coin falling, of a bee buzzing, of the wind blowing through the leaves of a tree, of whisteling etc etc.
Music is the best thing to spend time on. You are training so many things at the same time. You are in contact with art, you aretraining your dexterity, your breathing, you learn to work together in a group, you train your rythm, your hearing, you train social and communication skills etc etc.
Imagine that all of this would not be there. This is IMPOSSIBLE! That is why we need music in the world: to keep it together
