Could You Imagine It?

Imagine
waking up tomorrow,
all music has disappeared.
All musical instruments,
all forms of recorded music,
gone.

A world without music.

What is more, you cannot even remember
what music sounded like or how it was made.
You can only remember that it had existed,
that it had been important to you and your civilisation.
And you long to hear it once again.

Then imagine
people coming together to make music
with nothing but their voices,
and with no knowledge of
what music should sound like.

~ Bill Drummond
