Good music is very close to primitive language.

Summary

This quote suggests that good music has the ability to communicate on a primal, instinctual level. It implies that music taps into a deeper part of human psychology, bypassing language barriers and culturally conditioned understanding. Just as primitive language conveyed essential messages for survival and connection, good music is believed to evoke profound emotions, transcend the limitations of words, and resonate with something fundamental within us. This perspective highlights the primal power of music and its potential to speak directly to our innate human nature.
