“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul”. That’s Plato for you, real big on intertwining music and the soul, as if it were impossible to separate them.
He’s not alone in this. The soul, life, music, connection has been made more than a few times.
“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything,”.
Plato
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without”.
Confucius.
“Without music, life would be an error”.
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I can’t live without music”.
My friend Lily
“Music is the vernacular of the human soul”.
Geoffrey Latham
“When the music dies, kill me”.
My brother
Listening to this women makes the connection (between music, life, and soul), ever clear.
The theme this Old School Friday is, the handmaid of divinity, Chaka Khan.

Great choice, although I can’t reconcile Chaka Khan and Platonic for anything. Ain’t nobody does me better.

I hear you. I can barely reconcile it and I haven’t crossed over, yet.
Life without music would suck.
She’s good, does she still sing? I don’t know much about her.
.-= jake´s last blog ..July Wrap-Up =-.
She was at the Newport jazz fest this weekend, or was supposed to be, she went a little gospel-y for awhile.
Sounds like Plato was a believer in String Theory. J/k, but it goes well for his quotes.

It works, that’s all that mattered at the time. ;)
That Plato. What a guy.
I’m glad I got a new Blackberry, so I can read your posts at work.
Love Chaka, don’t listen to her enough.
.-= g´s last blog ..Surfer, Surfing, Blackberry’s =-.
You are a chaka kind of guy, among other things.
She is pretty hot. Funny how philosophy and music mesh.
.-= kait´s last blog ..Black Coats =-.
Yeah, we don’t need Plato to tell us that.
I’m in agreement with Confucius and Nietzsche. I wouldn’t be right without music.
