🎵 🎶 𝑴𝑼𝑺𝑰𝑪 𝑨𝑺 𝑨𝑹𝑻 ❓

🔸 In my post today, I'd like to get your opinion on how you perceive music whether you are musicians or not.
But first, let me explain the reasons for this question.

🔸 In 1986, in the French programme 𝐴𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑒𝑠 hosted by 𝐵𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑃𝑖𝑣𝑜𝑡, 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑮𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒈 said that "𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯" whereas music is a minor art in the sense that an initiation to music is not necessary to create it, and therefore it is accessible to everyone whereas other disciplines require practice and initiation, such as painting, classical music, literature, poetry, architecture.
And when Bernard Pivot asked him if he considered the songs he composed to be part of minor art, he agreed.

🔸 The journalist 𝐽𝑜ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑎 𝑆𝑒𝑏𝑎𝑛, 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐿𝑒𝑠 𝐼𝑛𝑟𝑜𝑐𝑘𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠, knowing that 𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 likes Serge Gainsbourg asked him what was his thought about Gainsbourg's view in 2006.

💬 I think there are two things: art and entertainment. The main function of entertainment is to make you forget your life, whereas the main function of art is to hold up a mirror to show you your existence and make you think. Both functions are equally honorable in the sense that everyone needs to escape, everyone needs Madonna. But you will always need something extra. And I like to think that we are part of those extra things. I want to believe that we are part of the art. On the other hand, for us, being in a band has always been about escape, about Peter Pan, about eternal youth. And then sometimes, to get people to think, you have to get them to dance first. That's why Public Enemy is probably the best band on earth.

🔸 It is interesting to see that their views are different. Serge's opinion is more centered on composing music, whereas Brian's is more focused on the ability to communicate emotions.

🔸 I've always thought that music is Art and never considered there was a minor or a major side in it. I think that music can be innate in some people and that for others it is necessary to take lessons. But also that music, in order to reach me, has to be able to touch me in the depths of my inner being, able to make me sad even when I am happy and to make me happy when I am sad. I relate more to Brian's point of view than Serge's.

If I had to define a Placebo song as a piece of art, it would certainly be a piano song. So, here's 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒆 𝑶𝒏 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑬𝒚𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒔...
