![“One song isn't going to ever change things, but I suppose it's the accumulation of music generally [that is]. If you can imagine a world that has no music in it, it would be a very different world, so music does change the world by virtue of all the music in it. Cumulative music of every kind…” quote by Mick Jagger](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ce7/mick-jagger-1929_accumulation_one-song-isn-t-going-to-ever-change-thin_1095049.jpg)
