I am fond of music I think because it is so amoral. Everything else is moral and I am after something that isn't. I have always found moralizing intolerable.

Demian, let's get back to teh definition of 'moral': Of or concerned with the judgment of right or wrong of human action and character



Can music be concerned with the right of wrong? Lyrics can be moral or amoral of course, whereas music on itself may be by ways of its vibrations.

Religious music can inspire moral principles, whereas other kinds of music may have the opposite effect.

Again, individual susceptibilities are important in the context
