Bards inspire their companions when things are bad. They know ancient lore and great secrets. They often cast utility spells more than combat spells, and their spells often focus on imagery, trickery, and knowledge rather than direct damage. They, or at least some of them, often engage in melee alongside the fighters.
Hmm. You know who that sounds like? Sounds to me an awful lot like Gandalf.
If you don't like the class as written (and it's not actually written nearly as music-focused as people think, but even if it was), you can do an awful lot by just tweaking the flavor a bit but keeping the mechanics as they are.
(PS: Yes, I know, Gandalf and the other wizards weren't actually human, blah-blah-blah. Not the point.)
