Is music nothing more than the air vibrating?

    We can explain how things work.
    but we struggle to explain meaning.

    What purpose does meaning have?

    Exactly, and the Mona Lisa is no more than chemicals shoved on a bit of fabric by a beardy twat.

    It depends on what kind of Music you're listening to.

    I'd say **** like JLS, Ed Sheeran or whatever he's called is just the Air Vibrating in a rather high pitch, annoying way.

    Why do we attribute meaning to things?

    Why isn't music just a random series of audible vibrations of the air?

    Surely it suggests that meaning has a purpose?

    Why?
    I'm not sure how you're getting from 'we enjoy certain aesthetics' to 'music has a purpose'.

    The question is - if sound is simply the air vibrating, then why is music more than that?
    It's not 'music has a purpose'
    It's the act of giving meaning to something that suggests that meaning itself has a purpose.

    To teach us I guess? Most times we do not attach meaning to things consciously at least, it usually comes to us. I think meaning adds something to the world around us as well as ourselves.

    Music is heaven. I just cannot imagine a world without music and to be honest I wouldn't want to live in a world without music.
