 How often do you hear a pop song, even one you like, and think, wow, this is beautiful? Now, you might like a song because it's catchy or it sounds cool or whatever, but not usually because it's beautiful. There was a time, most of human history, in fact, when the statement, I like this music, was synonymous with the statement, this music is beautiful. The idea of liking music for any other reason than beauty would have seemed absurd. It still is, actually.
