music = life?

so i get it : people say that music is life. but then would silence be death?! if someone never listened to music before [hard to believe but bear with me] would they be dead? or perfctly happy, cuz maybe for them, maybe plants is life. i believe oxygen is life. which makes more sense cuz if someone is deprived from music for a certain amount of time, they will go crazy, but dead? i think thats a tad bit irrational. the essentials for life are water && air [i guess food too but youh can go a LOT longer without food then without, say, OXYGEN. so music cannot be LiFE. it can be a good part of life, the entertainment portion [again not necessarily needed]. but to say that music is life might be going a bit far.
