"Music to me is a combination of sounds that induce certain feelings. Ideas expressed through sound. Music is a pattern, musicians are expert pattern creators, and story tellers. Certain rhythms can tell a story. Its all just math. What is your opinion on this wide subject."

What distinguishes this from say poetry.

imo music is sound that by-passes the rational part of our brain and feeds directly into those areas responsible for emotional response. No linguistic skills are required.
