FUEL

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music…”

~Hunter S. Thompson

One of the greatest gifts on earth is music. Without it, I suspect life as we know it would be very, very different.

And as scientists begin to uncover some of the secrets of music and how it impacts the brain (and almost all of human behavior for that matter), I would venture to guess they’ll never understand how it affects the soul–at least mine anyway.
