Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.

Author: Victor Hugo

Insight: Ever notice how a song can make you cry when you can't even name what's wrong? Music sneaks past the part of your brain that overthinks and hits something deeper—which is exactly why words alone sometimes fail us. It's not that music is better at explaining; it's that it doesn't try to explain at all.
