I actually think music is a less important form than TV or film. TV is just the best because of the visuals, music, lengthy character exposure, and story arc.
Song is like the blink of an eye. So why do I even like it? There is less going on for sure, but even after the song is over, the textures or rising / falling parts linger in your mind. Song is much more potent when it comes to staying power. Why is it that the better the tune the more difficult it is to recall in short term memory, but when you hear it again your long term memory snaps into action?
Maybe I like song because it is the highest yielding form with the fewest number of tools needed. It certainly requires practice which can be eternally frustrating and daunting, but this is what makes it great in the end.
Music as well can assuredly be assisted with a variety of tools to streamline production, but these don't necessarily at all improve the end product. Sometimes modified songs can create a departure from reality like a photographer using Photoshop, but to me the most grounded results are the best (and by best I mean the strongest staying power). I also enjoy photography because its also high yielding and very powerful to the end consumer. You simply need your instrument, practice, and maybe some refinement at the end, but almost instantly you can present the product to a viewer.
My favorite form to enjoy is TV, but the most challenging, complex form reliant on few tools is music.
