Life without music would be a tragedy.

To say it would be a 'mistake' would suggest that we went ahead and made life on Earth but forgot to include music in it, and now we have to revoke life and start again, this time properly.

Life without music would hardly be much different from life with music ... except for the music part.
 
Well, that and my wife would stop bugging me to get up and dance at wedding receptions.
