Someone I know once said that "music is what feelings sound like". Personally, I find this to be very much true, since I love music that has a meaning to it or that's made solely to convey emotions.

To me, music is a tool made for the purpose of conveying some kind of emotions, whether it be love, sadness or intense hate. There has to be some kind of deeper meaning (the deeper, the better) to it, like most songs by Metallica or Van Halen or other Classic Rock-bands I've heard.
