“I think the gift of music is it's intuitive capability. I think music is a powerful medium because it co-inspires. It inspires the artist who then inspires the listener, and it's a back-and-forth process. Because it's intuitive, the truth has to be defined intuitively. It can't be preached, it can't be pushed. It's got to normally go across organically and make someone feel something, and that's the power of music.” ThinkingFeelsArtistProcessPowerfulInspireMusic IsMediumsDefinedCapabilityListenersIntuitiveBack And ForthPower Of Music Author:Serj Tankian
