How Important Is Music To Your Life

I have not been listening to music for the past weeks. The songs in my MP3 have been accidentally deleted. I have some songs in my computer but they are not the type of songs i like listening too. After being deprived of music, I feel less happy and less organized. How about you? Do you see music as an important part of your life? Is it necessary for you to listen to music?

For me,music is very important. I can´t live without it. [busy_lizzie]

music i describe as the soul consolor, the soul confortor, it heals the mind of tiredness, it's words are relieving. so i listen to yahoo music online. when not connected to internet i then listen to the saved music on my pc. [fredgame]
that's great, music heals the mind of tiredness. So you can listen to music when you are tired and wanted to be refreshed. Thanks! [richiem]



When it comes to music, I am guided by the following beautiful sayings: "Music is the Universal Language." "Let the music heal your soul." With this, I can honestly say that music is very important in my life. Music soothes my soul. Especially lately, I've been listening a lot more to music. There was a time, a few years back, when I shut off myself from any kind of music. It didn't help me at all, without music. Now I realize the uplifting spirit that music has on me and I simply love music. [MariaD]
Yes, it is also like that for me. It's like I need music to organize my thoughts more. Thank you for the beautiful sayings. [richiem]


>_< Everyday when I go to school,I'm listening MP3 on the bus. and I have a lot of songs in my computer,I like them very much! [Brzeska]


yes, music makes my life moving. whistle since i learned to grade school, i have the feeling of going in the band. i joined the school band. i always buy song hits that time and even today, sometimes i feel singing to i wanted to know the complete lyrics of the song. i joined the choir. right now, i am listening to my favorite songs of the eighties. it is actually playing now at my profile in yuwie... [neildc]
I also liked singing when I was in my high school days. But I don't have the confidence to join in a band or any choirs. I don't think I have what it takes to sing in front of the public. I mean, I don't have a great voice like you do. But I remember myself reading song hits to memorize the lyrics of my favorite songs. But those song hits I just borrow from my classmates. I don't think I would go the extra mile of buying song hits. Aside from the fact that I don't have money for it, I don't feel the need to buy one. I think it is also a luxury. [richiem]


Listening music is one of my regular hobby .I do listen music even in my office i have ear phone in my office so i don't disturb others. When i am tired and frustrated that time i like to listen slow and old hindi songs which makes me happy. I carry mobile phone which has audio and Radio enabled so if i am driving also i can listen music. if i don't find any source where i can listen music i don't feel actually good. Atleast for half an hour i used to listen songs. [moneymint18]
I also have ear phone in my office so I won't disturd anyone. Especially there are elder ones in my office that don't like the songs I listen to. My mobile phone doesn't have radio option so I can't listen to it. But I have my mp3 to where I would listen especially in long trips. I guess music really enable us to cope with stress and fatigue. And it also makes us happy. Have a nice day! [richiem]


Music is life. It allows one to express his/her emotions and at the same time touch the hearts of other people. On my previous posts about music, I have mentioned that it is like my outlet. When I am sad or infuriated, music helps me gain my composure. It is one of the best things that happened in my life. I guess my life would never be the same if there is no music. I even started making my own because of my love for it. I've also explored different types of music and I found out that I appreciate acoustic, classical and alternative songs. In conclusion, music is definitely necessary for me. [selece]
I like your idea of music as way to express one's emotions and at the same time touching other's hearts. Music in this sense is a means of sharing emotions. Like it is a very different language that lets us communicate in a very different way than our normal way of conversing with others. For example, some people who have different experiences in life and from different part of the world who like the same music. [richiem]


listening to music brings me peace.so it does mean a lot when i am worn out [jimonokata]

I love music. I will put on the satellite radio station on the tv and listen to Broadway tunes or oldies. They are my happy songs!! [nanajanet]
I call them happy songs because they bring back happy memories or just make me feel happy. Songs by the Beach Boys are happy songs and remind me of the summers of my youth, when I had no fears, no problems, etc. Being an adult, we have worries, have been through pain and loss and this just brings me back to the times before that. [nanajanet]


Nope, music is not an important part of my life.. I can do without it, but not silence.. I will prefer quiet than music because i can concentrate better.. The only time i will listen to music is when i'm running for long distances.. If not, it will be the time when i'm really really bored, then i will listen to music.. Other than that, i will prefer silence.. [kun2349]
haha.. MAybe i'm weird?? ^_^ But i will prefer silence as it calms me down or relax me better than music.. hehe [kun2349]


Pretty important around here. We turn on the stero when cleaning. My daughter listens to music before bed. We sing in the car. We like our music that is for sure. [ersmommy1]
Nice. Seems like music is really a part of your life! [richiem]


hi, ya very much, i m just crazy for music, its my passion. my day starts with music n ends with it. i think its the best way to express ur feelings.with music we can relate our emotions. my room has a full equipped music station which has MP3 player, ipod, AM/FM player, also i have got my favourite songs downloaded on my PC n my cell, so wenever i want i can listen to it. i prefer mostly soft romantic songs but it also depends on my mood, if i m in a party mood i would definitely go for hip-hop and dance to its tunes. my gurl too prefers the same. wenever we r together we always listen to our favourite tarcks and remember our good old days. really i cant afford to live without music. [amirev777]
You really have a nice room there with those cool music equipments: the mp3 player, ipod, radio. I guess you really like listening to music. I am sometimes thinking that we can be addicted to music. It sometimes give the effect that some prohibited drugs can give you. And it is much nicer when you share your music with someone you love. I think it bonds you more. Have a nice day! [richiem]


Oh yes, music is a very important part of my life. I love most all kinds of music but I think I probably listen more to Country music than anything. There are so many songs that have helped me through some rough times. I think singers and song writers play a big roll in people's lives all around the world. Music is very powerful. Yes, gotta have my music, couldn't live without it. [Nana530]
I have listened a lot of songs too for my life span of 20+ years. Some of the songs faded away and only few have been retained in my mind. They are the ones which had the most significance in my life. And there are so many songs being made everyday that I think there would come a time when all the world will be filled with music. Our singers and song writers just seem to have a fountain of ideas to make songs out of. And I guess it is good for us. [richiem]


I work,live with music,i cannot do too long without it. It provides a good background when i am thinking too [luciusaloc]
For one who lives with music like you, I guess it would mean death to be away from it. And I guess it is true that music helps us think more smoothly. Like I think I am more unorganized when I don't hear music. It's like it is an essential factor in our find to hear music, like it soothes brain muscles to function more quickly and effectively. I guess music is a very special creation. [richiem]


music is quite important in my life but i can't say that it is so significant until i can't live without it... it is just average for me... i listen to music every now and then to relax myself and ease my stress... and i find it really good to heal your soul as well... i only like a certain type of music though... i don't like the loud and noisy ones... i prefer the soft and comforting ones... take care and have a nice day... [lingli_78]
Well, I guess music is a little over the average significance for me. It really relaxes and eases stress. though I also like soft and comforting songs, I also would like to hear other song genres like rock and pop. I guess my choice of songs are varied, not concentrating to one genre alone. have a nice Day! [richiem]


music is very impt to me all day...i listen to it every day al most everytime, during work, all day at my house in the street and just basically all the time..it seems that my day is very dull and very different without it... [petiksmode]
It's nice that music is very important to you in every day of you life. Seems like music is really a part of your life. You listen to music everytime like you don't want to lose music even for a minute. I guess music is giving you a lot of good things. Happy mylotting! [richiem]


Music has been a big part of my life since I was a little kid. I was laid up as a kid and could not walk for months and so my dad got me my first record player along with a transister radio. He also gave me a box of his old 78 speed records....corny music but I loved it. He was a big music buff and pushed it on me. He pulled me out of bed to watch the beatles the first time they performed on ed sullivan. I got hooked. I listen to such a variety of music. I have music in my car and in my home almost always. I mostly listen to rock but am not oppossed to heavy metal and i also love alternative and gulp....a few of the rap lyrics are catchy. I will tell you that country is against my ears but there are even a few of those songs that have made their way into my vast collection of music. [sid556]
I guess music really helped you in the days when you are laid up. I think you really have a vast collection of music. Music has really made its mark in your life. I guess it has helped you enjoy life more. Watching live performances increases your love of music. I guess that it really helps us appreciate music when we see it personally. And we tend to listen to music more when there are more music to love. Have a nice day! [richiem]


Most times when I listen to music while posting on MyLot, I feel happy. Right now I'm not listening to music and it's very slow going. I'm just trying to get through the evening. I would be lost without my music. I'm sure you'll find new music favorites. Be well. [beautyqueen26]
i also make it a point to listen to music when I am posting here in mylot. it helps my ideas to flow more smoothly. Now with the songs in my mp3 gone, I just listen to online radio stations in yahoo. I think the stations there are cool and I can appreciate the songs there, though there are no Filipino songs in there. But sometimes I don't care about the lyrics or the ideas of the songs. I just listen to songs that sounds relaxing and sounds right. [richiem]


Music is my passion. I cant live without it. Music is something that refreshes your mind. It takes of all the tensions from us.. [manu619]
Yes, i agree with you that music refreshes our mind and takes all of the tensions from us. I guess there is something in the music that soften our brain muscles or something to make it function more quickly and more effectively. I think I am more effective when I listen to music. I usually listen to music when I feel I am tired or somewhat unorganized. I also listen to music when I have to do something really complicated. [richiem]


well for me music is important, to me, without music life is kinda boring lol when i'm at work i usually play all my songs on my computer how about u? [xxjinx8xx]
I also love listening to music while I am at work. Before the songs in my mp3 got deleted, I always listen to them while working. It creates a bubble that separates me from the busy buzzing of my co-employees and make me concentrate on my work more. Now that I don't have songs in my mp3, I just listen to the free online radio stations in yahoo.com. I think that would make a good substitute if you get tired of the songs you usually listen to. [richiem]


very important. its the half of the half of my life! (uhh.. wazzat?) well, its one of the biggest part of my life. cant live without that part. ^^ [killerpinx]
I guess music is really a big part of our life. Like the air we breath. And to think that something that cannot be seen can be as important. Of course, we can live without music, but I guess we live more happier now that we have music. Even our ancestors have devised ways to make music to make living more joyful and enjoyable. Half of half I guess is one fourth, right? So if the world is made up of 75% water, maybe the remaining 25% is music. [richiem]


Hello richiem Ji, Music is life for me. There is no life without music. But, i would like to listen old music, not the present one or sitar have a nice time. [chintoo07]
Hello richiem Ji, Thanks for supporting, as I am much older than you, I must have sustained to an extent that my ears are habituated to listen old music, beacuse of its natural nature (with meaning). Now-a-days, music is witout any sense. One makes just some noise without any head and tail. have a nice time. [chintoo07]


Life without music is like a river without water to me. Music gives me a peace of mind, it lets me think properly, and clears my mind from confusing thoughts. Music makes me relax, enables me to think consciously. Music is one of the best things god has given to us, enabling us to connect with the almighty in the rhythm of vibrations. Hope you get your music soon, and are not deprived of it. Peace. [vaivhav]
I haven't restored my songs in my mp3 but I have come up with an alternative. I now listen to the online radio station in yahoo.com. I found there the songs that I would like to listen to and as of now I am happy with it. It also saves me time as I won't have to download songs anymore. However, the online radio station would not be useful when I don't have internet access anymore like when I am in long trips when I usually listen to music in my mp3. I think I have to download my songs again, but I still don't have the time. I hope someday I can do it. [richiem]


here is no life without music. but having said that, I don't usually listen to music on the radio these days. I hear music on t.v. shows and commericals. I have my collection of cassettes and records and a few cds but I don't listen to them as often as I should.But whenever I feel like listening to my favs , they are just a tape or record away. There is no life without music. [sarahruthbeth22]
I don't own a M3P player. I rather listen to the stereo, I don't like head or earphones. [sarahruthbeth22]


Music is the most important thing in my life because it helps to concentrate to mind . It gives relieg to the body and soul.In some medical practices music is the medicine and due to music therapy patients are helped to cure the dissease. I think music is the most important thing in thelife as for me it give relif to me and to forget tention and the stress. [kisanchhantyal]
I have yet to know that there are practices of music therapy to cure diseases. I know that music helps soothes ones mind and thus help someone get better but I don't know if music can cure a disease directly. But still, music can be an important part of a patients well-being. Music is also a stress-releaser for me. I like listening to music to relax my mind and to unwind from daily problems. [richiem]


it s somewhat impiortant. i feel good when i am sad. i also feel emotional when some meories come to me. i listen to some music that are appropriate to my present stae of mind. [subha12]
I guess we really have choose which music we have to hear depending on our state of mind. Sometimes when I don't like what I am hearing, I would just want to turn the radio off and listen to silence. But most of the time, I found something interesting to listen to. I also love the songs that makes me feel good and some which makes me think of the past. [richiem]


I love music very much but it's not necessary for my life. I love listen music as a backround in my office,at home and etc'. [as2006]
I also listen to music as my background when I am in work and when I am posting in mylot. It makes me think more smoothly. It makes me think more organized. We can live without music, but I think living without music is somewhat sad. There will always be a way like for example the nature would create music from ordinary things like the leaves. Like, the nature will sing. [richiem]


I need to listen to music every day, its a huge part of my life when I hear a song I like I need to get it I then make sure I learn all the words to that song thanks to my nifty 'lyrics plugin' for windows media player I cant help but to sing to every song, and since I enjoy writing song lyrics myself it gives me inspiration when listening to my idols and other artists I like [MySTiQue23]
That is also what I do when I really like a song. I search the net for its lyrics then I copy paste it to word document and then I print it. That way I would easily memorize it and sing it every time I remember it. I like memorizing lyrics of the songs I really like, makes me feel like a fan of that song. It's really good to hear music, I think. It makes me feel more light. [richiem]


of cause.. i don't know what will happen to me without music.. I like to listen to slow-paced love songs when i go to sleep but more louder songs when i want to feel awake ^_^ Currently, i am having guitar and vocal lessons. I used to have piano lessons too but i am just too broke to have so many lessons all at once so i need to give up on my piano lessons =( Of cause, im still learning it by myself ^_^ [jayzzzz]
Good luck on your guitar and vocal lessons. I guess you really are to be a musician some day. I really admire people like you who have the courage to pursue their dreams and their passion. Music, I think, is a good passion to have. My passion really is writing poetry but I cannot pursue it because there is no real money in there. [richiem]


Its almost every thing in my life when ever i am down the only companion is the music,which is played from my w700i mobile. I can be without food air water everything but I cant survive with out music. " Music The Life Giver" I love to it I die for It That too for classical and devotional songs from ilayaraja................ [sreeharinath]
I don't really know the songs you are talking about but I guess they really are good songs. Why? Because these songs made you feel that music is a very important part of your life, even more important than food, air and water. Which makes music a necessity in your life. I also think that music is really a good companion. It is with us when we are down and also there when we are happy. [richiem]


Hi! i cant live with out my music, for me its really mood orientated too and my music collection is quite broad. from musicales (les mis, cats, hair), to pink, to Leona Leweis (sorry if i spelled that wrong!!) to metallica. it can pick me up, make me stronger, make me cry or help me relax. so for me, its very important. [kissmyamstaff]
I also believe that music can take the emotions out of us. It also can help us cope with our moods. I guess music can do a lot of things. Most importantly, it can heal our soul. I like your choice of songs by the way. [richiem]


Music is a very important part of my life and although I like many different kinds of music I have certain types of songs I like to listen to at different times. I have music on when I sleep most of the time but there are certain songs that, even though I like them, I don't want to listen to when I'm asleep for one reason or another. For instance I like classical music but it gets on my nerves if I'm trying to do something because I'd prefer to be able to devote my full attention to it and if I'm busy its more of a distraction so I prefer to listen to classic rock. At night I like 60's R&B and some of the 70's rock or country. [ycanteye]
There are times when I want to listen to music when I am asleep and there are times when I don't. I also don't know why. Maybe it has something to do with my mood or feeling. Or maybe it has something to do with the music I am hearing. Some music can be bothering even if they have soft tunes. [richiem]


Music is part of my daily life. It is good for our soul I think. While driving in traffic it gives us entertainment while we have to deal with all the traffic. It makes that long road trip more bearable. It is just good to sing along. [ryzach]
I also like listening to music while in traffic. It makes us bore less and we can put our minds on other things than the traffic. I think music makes our life easier and more enjoyable. It eases our daily problems and makes it more bearable. Have a nice day! [richiem]


For me, a day without music is like a day without water... Music fuels my soul...inspires me to live another day :) [angelamp]
Wow, that is cool. So music is like water to you. Life is really beautiful with music. Have a nice day! [richiem]


Hi richiem have a nice day to you my friend, for me music sometimes is important and sometimes not so important. It is because sometimes I don't like to hear music and sometimes I do. Maybe its just the way we look things differently, I mean If you love music all the way then you really a music lover but for the person like me I think I'm defferent. [oliverdt]
Hi richiem, yes you are definitely right you are a music lover. I consider myself as a music love too but not that much. I can still be in the place where their is no music, but the music or sound that I want to hear is the sound of the ocean and the sound of the rainforest. [oliverdt]


Music is incredibly important in my life. I LOVE MUSIC. It helps me in so many ways. It lifts my spirits, it can motivate me to get stuff done around the house, and it keeps me focused. I have to listen to music a lot. Music was a saving grace for me growing up too. It's what helped me to get through the tough times and keep me sane (or at least I think so). I would be devastated if I lost my MP3's. I have about 1000 mp3's right now and I listen to them all the time and I would be lost without them. If you get your mp3's back, I would suggest making a backup of them if you can. I've burned them as data files onto a bunch of cd's so that I have them in case just an emergency situation arises. Good luck! [reg415]
Thanks for the advise, I guess that would be a great idea of keeping back up files in cd's. I haven't thought of it because I trusted my mp3 player too much. What has happened really is a human error. I accidentally deleted it when I was about to transfer some files from my player to the computer. Glad to hear that music has kept you sane. [richiem]


music? listening to the sound of music is one thing that makes me relax. it seems like music is part of me or a friend i can rely on.. happy or sad whatever feelings i have, music makes me a lot better.. [oxymerc]
yeah... thanks... have a nice day. [oxymerc]


the same exact thing happened to me and i know the feeling. on my laptop i had the perfect collection of music (perfect for me) all the bands i love listening to, all my favorite songs. 15GB of music. Then one day my laptop hardisk crashed because of some reasons still unknown to me. I got the feeling of being less organized and being more irritable. Music does play a big part in my life(not only mine but a lot of people out there, im sure). It keeps me happy, calm, helps me concentrate for example: while at work im always listening to music on the computer, it somehow helps me concentrate in getting the work done. Its the same with studies. [pinti21]
15GB of music, that is a lot! and you lost all of it?! I don't know how I can survive that one. It really would be a change of life losing those collection of songs. And to think that you spent a lot of time collecting and downloading those songs to your laptop. [richiem]


Music is very important to me. I always listen to my favourite songs at least once a day. This makes feel calm and relaxed. Doing chores while listening to good music makes the work easier for me [skygal]
I like listening to music when doing some chores too. It's like you are not doing chores and you are only dancing to the music. Or sometimes if the songs are mellow, it feels like you are doing an music video of it and not really doing something that is tiring. Have a nice day! [richiem]


I love music and have different playlists for different moods I'm in. As well, I associate certain songs with certain periods of my life, so listening to music can really take me back in time. So when I listen to these songs, it's like listening to a lyrical memory box. Listening lyrics can make me happy or sad or mad or pensive. Music plays a huge part in my life and emotional being. [doubloonie]
I think somehow our choice of songs evolves. There are always new songs coming out and a lot to choose from to be our favorites. I think this is important because our choice of songs marks certain periods of our lives. And thus when we hear some songs, it brings us back to the time where we love that song. And it brings back our memory of that time. [richiem]


Of course! Music is very important to my life and as i can see, it is in yours too. Music provides rhythmn to what I am doing. It provides mood and it energizes me. Rock and roll perks up my morning so that's why i turn to it the moment i leave the garage to set straight to work. I will then shift to slow music during traffic to calm my nerves. Music enhances my emotions, especially when you hear songs that reminds you of the good ol' days! [edgar1868]
Looks like you know how to use music to your advantage, listening to the type of music that would suit the time of the day and the mood. For me, I just listen to the same sounds all day. I don't care if it repeats over a lot of times. It doesn't bore me. Sometimes I don't notice what music is playing because I am engrossed in work but I still like to hear it. [richiem]


I listen to music while I am on the computer and while doing housework. The time seems to go by so much quicker when I am listening to music. It seems to help my mood stay good a lot also. [cortney09]
Yes, I also think music has that effect, time seems to fly when there is music. Especially when you are waiting, just listen to music so you won't be bored and won't think that it takes to long to wait. It makes your mind think of something else. [richiem]


I love music is why i like to do the internet dj thing. have a ton of music. Music can express so many emptions. Songs for when you are sad or happy or mad. Songs to make you laugh and cry. Do I have to have it all the time? no! i go through times where I just want peace and quiet for a few days. [shooie]
I do it because I like it. Hobby I guess. Yes I paid for my station and this weekend i get with the hosting company to set the stuff up so I should be up and running in a week or so. No do not get paid and all dj's are volunteers. [shooie]


Hie Richiem, music has been around me since I was young. I was introduced to those Chinese opera songs to upbeat English ones as I was growing up. It lifts up my mood for the day and comforts me when I wind down at the end of the day.I feel something is lacking in me if I am without any music, too quiet for my soul in a way. Life is definitely more fun and alive with music around. Cheers and happy posting! [Desierra1004]
lolI didn't like it either but got used to it as my grandmother was staying with us. She and my mum would listen to those music and radio dramas almost everyday. I prefer the upbeat modern songs of course Cheers. [Desierra1004]


I don't consider music that is very important in my life.... but I do hear music I am sitting alone or I am very bored... [nokia6233]

I believe music is an important part of life,and whenever me and fiance go out somewhere we are always listening to the radio,and I do not think I could live without listening to music,because without music life would be really dull. [hellcowboy]

Its very important to me...it helps me to express myself more clearly.It uplifts my spirit when its down ..and it has a soothing effect on my heart ..It helps my body and my soul to respond to the frequency of different genres of music..Music helps me to related it to my life it can make me cry same time it can help me to smile or it will make me dance to the music... [TheDevil]

I've always loved music. I sang a lot when I was younger, and even majored in music in college. Now, I listen to the radio all day at work, and sleep with the radio at night. I listen to the radio in the car. The only time I like it quiet, is when I'm trying to read a book. I mostly listen to Christian music, as I like getting good values while I'm listening, but I also like country videos and love Southern Gospel Music "Gaither-style". [estherlou]

Music plays an important part in my life...it makes me stress-free sometimes, and sometimes it brings solutions to my problems...its a great source of inspiration. I really like to listen to cool music. [excellence7]

Of course it's like a curse if you don't have any music on your head.... Its like living in hell.. [mariechin]

I love music. I go to Youtube, and listen to the opera singers, but it does interfere with my myLotting, the music is so beautiful that I cannot concentrate. So what I do is that I turn on my Mp3 player and go for a walk. Then I feel much better. I love classical. I also keep my music on my hard drive and have Cds of the originals. Oh and I have to watch so I do not press the delete button by mistake on my mp3 player. That sucks big time. [suspenseful]

For me, music is an absolute necessity. Music has been a part of my life since the moment I was born, and has continued. Not just listening to it, but playing it on the keyboard, writing it, singing it. I cannot go a single day without music - whether I'm singing it out loud, humming, listening to something, or just playing it in my head. Without music, my life would have no joy, no meaning, no sense at all. [LeadAltoForever]

besdies my religion, Music is the one other things that i cannot go without. its like the ying to my yang. Ever since i wa a little girl i have enjoyed all kinds of music, its like my scapegoat at times when i want to give up on so many things. its helped me grow as a person and as a better musician, i cant imagine ever living in this world without it. [vsr0013]

It depends on your definision of music. I dont have an MP3 player, Ipod, record player, radio nor can I get music on my computer. But I listen to music every day! I heard the different kinds of birds when I awake in the morning, hear the wind thru the trees, I listen to the rythum of live as beats throughout the day, then I listen to the syphony of the night. Whether its the crickets or the owls out side the city or in the city with the cars, sirens, horns ect.. You ask if it is necessary, I say its required but we may differ as to what we listen to. And its ok! [benhilo]
I like your idea on this one. Music doesn't have to be something that is man-made. There are a lot of music around and which are more beautiful than ballads that we like to here from the radio. Thank you for this refreshing response. [richiem]


i can't live without music,is very important,i heard every day. [carlosmp]

I love having music around me, even if it is just the radio. It helps to add constant noise at a constant level and bring some calm to my chaotic household! Besides, I love singing along! lol. Neighbours, get your earplugs out! lol. [newzealtralian]

I think music is extremely important to me. It's comforting to both listen to and sing along with whatever music I enjoy; my own stress reliever. I listen to music while I'm at work, because it helps pass the time if things get a little bit slow. [stagewhisper]

Hello, Richiem. Music is pretty important in my life. I love music, and I mean the music, not one song or another. I love the art of music, and I find it amazing on how can people transfer their feelings to a rythm and make others feel aswell. My life would be ten times more boring without music. I like to listen to music, play music and create music, it's one of the best things in the World, for me. There are really good bands, really great singers, and it still amazes me on how can people create 50 songs and be recognized by MILLIONS of people in the whole world. It takes time and effort, perhaps talent, if you believe in it. Some say you have to be gifted, but I don't believe in it. If I do, I'm just saying that I'll never get there. :D Respectfully, Munhozmib. [munhozmib]

hi richiem! happy music is important to me too. at times that i'm down, i'd listen to some music and it would make me feel a little better. just like recently, i got so brokenhearted that i turned to music. i downloaded a lot of music that expresses my exact feeling at that time and i found comfort on it. listening to them made me feel that there's a lot of people feeling terrible the same as i was. listening to the music felt like i was expressing myself and i wanted everyone to know what i am feeling. i seek comfort and i found it. happy music doesn't only come in handy to me when i'm down, i also listen to music when i'm bored, when i'm happy, when i'm feeling blah. and music is a great past time while drinking. we would have fun in the karaoke while drinking. and it makes drinking more enjoyable. lol [secretbear]

extremely important, i start my day with music, on my way to work i have to listen to music too..it is very imortand for me, [monishavakil]

ALthough I do enjoy music, music is not a constant in my life.At list in comparison with other people I know and talk to. I don't usually listen to music regularly. I don't turn on the radio when I get to the car or when I get home. I don't have music on my computer to listen as I surf the net. I do like to listen to music when I'm doing my house chores, but the things is, after the first or second song, I am already not really listening. I have quite a few favorites, and because hubby loves to listen to music at all times, a huge collection of cds. But I listen to them sporadically. WHen I want to listen to music I want to be concentrating only in that. I usually take amix of musics i really like and put it on. Then I sit down in the sofa and I listen. [arkaf61]
