Music is a lot of things to different people. For some, just noise; for others, it is their career. For many of us, it is a soundtrack, a touchstone, a mood in a bottle. I still think that the best description came from a woman that I used to know.
This woman and I dated briefly in our late 20's; she was easy to talk to, though sassy enough. Our differences were unavoidable, however; to this day, her defining trait remains her infatuation with televised high-school melodrama. She did share this bit of wisdom with me:
"Music is a time machine and a bookmark. A song can take you to a place and time faster than any vehicle."
