The Power of a Song
A single Earth song can make a human:
Dance
Cry
Smile
Remember childhood
Call an old friend
Purchase concert tickets
This is an extraordinary amount of influence for a sequence of organized vibrations.
I initially believed music was entertainment.
I now suspect it is one of humanity's primary memory storage systems.
No wonder humans protect their records, mixtapes, playlists, and concert posters.
They are preserving pieces of themselves.
