 Therefore, it can be said that Music acts as the Food, as it makes easy for the person to hide his pain and sorrows in the melody of the song. Music is considered as the food for love because as food subside our hunger, similarly Music too subside our Pain, Tears and Guilt. Hence, I think Music the KEY to the Soul. It will be not wrong to say that Music is the Food of Love. This is because Music is the only medium which helps us to express our feelings and emotions.  Another reason why we call it Food of Love because Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
