Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses").
The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.
To many people in many cultures, music is an important part of their way of life. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound." Musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be."
You're music
When I look
In your eyes
I can see
A never ending story
You're music
When we're close
I can feel in my soul
The love that's deep inside me
Oh my lady my life
When I near you
My body can't deny what it feels
Oh I need you I want you
To surrender in my arms tonight
You're music
There's a voice in my heart
I can hear
All the songs we've shared together
You're music
Every word every thought is alive
Making moments last forever
And with every beat of my heart
I long for your touch
And with every breath that I take
The more I love the love we make
You're music
When we love the world dissapears
We're alive & never lonely
You're music
When we dance
Our hearts beat as one
You're music
You're music
You're music
You're music
