Everyone Loves Music
Music, no matter how much we try to manipulate it is something as ethereal and fleeting as the air we breathe. It has no boundaries of geography, society or culture. It takes a form that we made for ourselves but it never loses its essence—you always produce the same do-re-mi.
That’s why they always say that music is the language that unites people. Unlike science, literature and visual arts, you don’t need to understand music in order to appreciate it. It can pass beyond the barriers of culture in that sense. It is these things that we don’t understand that can keep us together as humans.
To understand the implications of music as a strategy to compel, unite and organize a group of people is an affirmation of our humanity. In this age when we the society imprisoned us inside ATM machines and iPhones, music seems to be the only thing that is real.
No matter how much we commodify music, it remains as the one thing that could keep our humanity in tact. No amount of flaunting apparatus such as jewelries and silver cufflinks can represent the real essence of music. Not words, not the very image of a music note or a g-clef. Nothing and no one in particular or in general.
So when you find a pair of music cufflinks, ask yourself once more if wearing such tells a lot about yourself as a human, as a music lover of some sort. If music is the one thing that we all love then the very essence of someone who calls herself a music lover is questionable. Not even if the person wears Music Note Cufflinks or any other general symbolism of music.
