Is music an essential ingredient that has been a driving force in human evolution .The elements that come together to define what we call music being the same patterns and force that has shaped every thing .
All cultures contain music.It's only been in recent times that western cultures have separated the music maker and the music listener . In some older cultures where music has remained more intertwined with daily life listening to music also means taking part in it's production in one way or another .In fact in some African cultures Today the Word Music and Dance are the same word.
In western cultures many people are separated from the act of music making and dancing . There is the Artist/producer whom makes the music and then the listener whom listens to the music .Business strives to define Music has just another product , many Big Labels primarily use music as a means to gain wealth.The western music industry being a massive Business enterprise where money is priority and tries and succeeds to persuade the listeners to remain just that 'only passive listener's.There are very few lyrical songs in western culture that are about the actual content 'music' .There is very little money to be made from selling music when communities freely coming together to make music . Musics original use of social communication is being corrupted and it's uniting power being used to sell products ,veiling the fact that it's the music that gives us what we seek.
Children are brought up to be academic and seek worthwhile employment to help oil the machine of material growth even at the cost of there health and environments health .Our success being measured on our monetary value and the possessions we acquire, not on the substance of our characters and generosity towards others .Time and time again it has become public knowledge that the people with the most power are corrupted and treat others the way they would not treat themselves .
Is a massive music revolution the much needed energy western society needs in order to bring about a change.The change that will alter the way we care for ourselves individually and for the environment. Surely the FACT western culture has destroyed much of the planets natural Eco system & continues to do so is proof enough that we haven't yet learned what it actually means to look after ourselves .A revolutionary change is needed to cure our sick society .
Is Music the Medicine ! .The Bond that can bring humanity Together .
united in music we shall succeed divided without music we shall fail .
