Indeed, good try … without soil, we’d have nothing to eat (OK, still fish and seaweed …), so then no girls or music. Long ago, studied environmental chemistry, including some research on fluorescence of “humic acid”, but then time to choose where to specialise next - reckoned the atmosphere was too simple (small molecules, no biology), the soil too muddled (empirical formulae, rather than derived from fundamentals), so ended up in the ocean as a compromise. But maybe soil science evolved since then, please enlighten us…?
