Music connects people across time and place by allowing us to experience universal emotions like sorrow, gladness, and love. Music is the only means by which we can feel these emotions in their universality. Life without music would be a mistake, as it provides shared experiences that bind humanity. The document discusses how music allows people to connect through shared emotions, and cites philosophers who emphasize music's importance to the human experience.

3. I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality. __ H.A. Overstreet 
