Yes, it's pretty fundamental to me too, music. I play classical guitar, and a little of other styles, but even if I didn't, hearing music is like feeling blood flow within me. I'd read an ancient Egyptian legend paraphrased that said before the human species learned to speak, we sang. I really can imagine that.
One of my favourite images, and this might sound obscure, is in 1984 Winston sees the washerwoman singing as she hangs out her washing. I think she sings "Oranges and Lemons". In such a bleak book and such an otherwise dreary scene, it became heartbreakingly beautiful through song.
