Summary

This quote suggests that while words can engage our logical thinking and processing, music has a powerful ability to evoke emotions within us.

By combining words and music in a song, the quote implies that the emotional impact of music is enhanced, as it not only make us feel but also inspires us to think and contemplate certain ideas or themes.
