Music is a sound, but it is also a vision. Whenever a song is heard, or music is being played, the listener has a vision in their head, and at live shows, musicians make that vision become reality. It's a form of art. It's a new form of art that can enlighten people, it has people hooked and anyone can do it, as long as they have a vision for music.
