This phrase comes from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Duke Orsino is upset that his courtship for the dear Olivia is not going well and asks for an abundance of love so that he will lose his appetite for it. He says:

"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."

It's actually not as happy of a quote as what people think it to be.

Nope its not food but could say that they both having some similarities

  • we have to cook food to make it ready where as we had to produce and compose music.
  • after we had made food, time is to enjoy it where as after we had produced a music, time is to enjoy it🎧 So the point is we can't stay alive without food but can live without listening music Music provides us pleasure, satisfaction, calmness, motivation and removes all stress so why not add it to our lives. I am a music lover ,i produce and compose my own music and upload on my YouTube channel "CD MUSIC TRACKS". Its a kind of free background music channel. So, for me music not food but a very big part of my life because i enjoy Making and listening music
