“Do you know where music comes from?”

“All manner of places, as far as I am aware.”

“You’re quite right. But do you know what the inspiration for music, or even any art, is?”

“What someone sees around them? Or what they feel, maybe?”

“That and more. Art is an outpouring of the heart and soul. The emotions, thoughts, feelings of the artist. That’s what goes into composition - be it literature, imagery or music.”

“I see... that makes sense.”

“Never forget that. When you raise your voice in song, when you put hoof to string or key, or when you put pen or pencil to paper, that is what should flow.”
