[flyingharmony.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ouverture
Points: Long debate: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 2pts, 30pts limit.
Deadline: Submit your answers by Monday, April 30th @ 22:59 UTC (timezone converter).
Details: New club leader, new luck, don't they say? Let's start with discussing a fundamental question: Music. We all love music, at least we who joined the music club. But what does music mean? Can we define music like we can define physical laws? What does music mean to us, how does it influence our lives, our thinking, etc? There's lots of material for discussions. As always, you'll get ten points for your initial comment (which should be at least 100-150 words long) and two more for each additional comment (I'm not giving you any limits for this, but please, show that you've put some thought and effort in it, just saying "I agree/don't agree" isn't enough) with a limit of 30 points as a total.

Note: I've turned notifications off for this, so if there are any questions etc, feel free to contact me via PM!

Note #2: As always, please don't forget to sign each comment with your name&house and to check if you're on the roster - there will be no grace periods!

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Victor Hugo recommends you to join the Club.

Oh geez, so much to talk about. Music is everywhere, I think we can all agree on this much. From a very young age, children are sung to (and apparently they can hear music in the womb, hm). It helps us learn, like the ABC's and in my case, the quadratic formula. It can get a party started or calm down a room. Lyrics can inspire you to pick yourself up from a bad breakup or make you want to rage dance and get all of those negative emotions out. A song can be interpreted a hundred different ways. Music can help you escape your reality, even for just a short while. It's like reading a book for your ears. When you read a book your mind takes you elsewhere and you don't care what's going on around you. Same with music. When you put on those headphones, you're just...gone. Music is the one thing we can all agree on (maybe not the types of music, but you catch my drift).

Haha, I was gonna disagree when you said it was the one thing we can all agree on, especially because it seems to me that a lot of my friends are really pretty opinionated when it comes to what music they'll listen to and what they won't, but I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't enjoy music, so you're definitely right on that count. There's a song for every emotion out there, and more waiting to be written.
