In his latest novel, Utopia Avenue, David Mitchell took his highly innovative and imaginative narrative into the heart of music through the story of an unlikely band that converged under the unlikeliest of circumstances. Music is a universal language that transcends both time and physical barriers. Every important juncture in history is also characterized by its music. The influences of music ripples all over the world.
The jive and the vibe can make us unconsciously sway as in a trance. Through notes and sounds, some alien and foreign, music has the power to make us feel deeper emotions. When you feel down or sad, you listen to music. When you feel elated, you listen to music or you make music. We listen to music to soothe an aching heart, to “fix a broken heart,”. It is a language that knows no boundaries, tangible or intangible. It has been said time and time again that music is a universal language that majority, if not all, of us can relate to.
