I think there are ways to measure music, maybe, in that there are beats and cadences and pitches, but I don't know that music is something that can be defined completely. What is music to some can be noise to others, or even poetry, sometimes. I think it sometimes means different things to different people, and that it should. Like writing, and paintings, and really, any other form of art, music is something that the creator has a right to define as they wish and the audience has the same right to interpret and make their own.

Personally, I'm interested in what music makes me feel at any given time. Sometimes the lyrics have a lot to do with it, but sometimes I just find the mood I'm in has a lot to do with what I like listening to.
