"A passion for music is a confession. We know more about an unknown but musical person than about an unmusical person with whom we spend all our days." (E.M. Cioran)
I have always been intrigued by this quote from Cioran, a Romanian born 'philosopher' who went to live in Paris in the 1950's and switched to french as his language of expression.
I believe that I have a passion for music. I need to accompany every moment and mood of my life with a melody, my day is decided by which lyrics will appear in my head as I wake up and I am constantly looking for new musical experiences.
I have encountered people, however, for whom music is just background noise and I have always felt that we were not able to communicate at some very basic level.
I am not emitting any value judgement, as Cioran always does, I am just interested in knowing about the experiences other people may have had in relation to their love - or lack thereof - for music and how this may have influenced the people they befriended.
Do you believe that a person's having a passion for music tell us something fundamental about him/her?
What actually is a passion for music?

      how about a new search concept for music? you don't search using words, you upload a music file and the search engine will give you all the details about the music, title, singer, composer etc...
