--and that, is just another philosophical statement.
Philosophy is a very old and prehistoric form of science. In fact philosophy laid the foundation for what modern science is today.

just like musicI've read many different philosophical ideologies and the conclusion I have come to is that it is completely subjective and useless.
Saying that science can go without philosophy is naive. Science cannot ground its own essence. The essence of science cannot be determined scientifically.
In this way, philosophical inquiry provides the context which conditions the meaning of scientific inquiry.

I disagree. Philosophy functions as inquiry into how our chosen axioms construct fundamental properties of what we know and how we know it. In this way, philosophical inquiry provides the context which conditions the meaning of scientific inquiry.

René Descartes described the whole of philosophy as like a tree: the roots are metaphysics, the trunk physics, and the branches are the various particular sciences, including mechanics, medicine, and morals.
I don't follow your implication that music being "real" makes it unlike philosophy. Music has a value unto itself; it is either appreciated or it isn't. Attempting to justify it to someone who doesn't get it is futile and pointless.No, not like music. The pleasure and emotionality of the organized tonalities and frequencies or whatever that makes this thing called music is very real. Not explainable, but real. Not explainable, but very useful.
