It cannot be defined by anyone as it hits each person different and alters their mood accordingly. There has been four times in my life that I was just sitting listening to a live performance and tears started falling from my eyes. I didn’t know they were coming they just appeared and ran down my cheeks. That’s why I say it can reach to the soul.

Someone told me awhile back that... the whole point of listening to music is to feel something. Think it's the same way with playing... different but same.
