Music NEVER changed the world.
PEOPLE change the world.

I remember a recent political pile of poop over here because a candidate was accused of giving people 'false hope'. The only time I think hope is false is when people give up on it. One reason people give up hope is some other jerk running around calling it 'false' and trying to make folks believe they can't do a damned thing.

Music inspires. Music gives people hope and makes them believe they can do something to change the world, and music makes the journey lighter. Music lightens the heart, stirs the blood and motivates the spirit.

Music can change people, and people change the world.
