Many designers will say that they pull inspiration from music, or that a song will represent the meaning of a design. Music is only able to inspire designers of other mediums through the emotions it represents. A song can be composed in any genre with any instrument and always have an emotional meaning. Music is as close as humans can get to listening to the true feelings of a soul, and it is this auditory experience which is so important to musicians. To a musician, music is much more than an aesthetic entertainment, it is his/her heart and soul. The delicacy and care taken to create a musical piece is fueled by overwhelming emotion which works its way out of the artist, inspiring them to become a musician.
"Design in Society merely exists to express natural human ideas and emotions," and it is the existence of these raw emotions which inspires musicians to create such an expression of the feelings from within and around them (Barry Green). When a musician experiences emotion strong enough to invoke an inspiration, it can be molded into a message (through instrument and sound) which easily goes on to invoke emotion in others, and, in turn, inspire listeners. The powerful emotion experienced in music is in fact a representation of an emotion strong enough to inspire.
