Nothing is no thing, denoting the absence of something. Nothing is a pronoun associated with nothingness, which is also an adjective, and an object as a concept in the Frege-Church ontology.
In nontechnical uses, nothing denotes things lacking importance, interest, value, relevance, or significance.Nothingness is the state of being nothing, the state of nonexistence of anything, or the property of having nothing.
Some would consider the study of "nothing" to be foolish, a typical response of this type is voiced by Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798) in conversation with his landlord, one Dr. Gozzi, who also happens to be a priest,
However, "nothingness" has been treated as a serious subject worthy of research for a very long time. In philosophy, to avoid linguistic traps over the meaning of "nothing", a phrase such as not-being is often employed to unambiguously make clear what is being discussed.
One of the earliest western philosophers to consider nothing as a concept was Parmenides (5th century BC) who was a Greek philosopher of the monist school. He argued that "nothing" cannot exist by the following line of reasoning. To speak of a thing, one has to speak of a thing that exists. Since we can speak of a thing in the past, it must still exist (in some sense) now and from this concludes that there is no such thing as change. As a corollary, there can be no such things as coming-into-being, passing-out-of-being or not-being.

Nothing ever moved me...
Once again you demand of me to listen
but my dear, I don't hear anything new
You say, baby this concerns our existence
but your one and only topic is you
You explain to me over and over
that all good things must come to an end
That no matter what happens
we could still be good friends
but I won't ease your conscience, I won't set you free
this is no mutual agreement you see,
'cause
Nothing ever moved me this way
nothing ever filled me up like you did
Nothing ever moved me this way
no one ever touched my heart (soul) like you did,
baby like you did
Well I know I can't do much to stop you
If you're determined to leave me you will.
It'll make no big difference what I do
you'll soon be driving away up that hill
I don't care if you take my belonging
Take my heart - here -it's yours to keep
You may even take my joy, and yes, I may weep
But I won't five you my blessings, I won't set you free
this is no mutual agreement you see,
'cause
Nothing ever moved me...
