You can DO that?

The music that is inspirational takes the same themes and concepts of traditional music and applies it to modern life - romance, passion, misery, scorn - modern music simply lacks any real feeling, and comes accross as a child playing make believe while glancing at pictures of adults who truly lived the fantasy that they are so arrogant as to think they created.
I don't view today's music as real music. My definition of music is something that is man made. With all the technology put in to a song these days (honestly, can ANYONE sing live anymore?) I just view it as a load of fake garbage. The music if centuries ago is real. It is a true reflection of man's talent. They make those sounds all on their own. Also compositional knowledge is far greater. Nowadays people shove a vocal line on top of a few repeated chords and call it music. There's no counterpoint, there's no proper harmony. I love learning about proper music at University, and I love making it myself by playing the violin. Orchestra rehersals are awesome, because I appreciate how hard it is to write for an orchestra. It's like a jigsaw puzzle, making everything fit together in consonance, or even intentional dissonance. You have to be like a ticking clock, keeping perfectly in time with over 50 other people. THAT is the spirit of music.
