Sure I love* music, but I don't spend every waking moment listening to it (don't really understand how anybody could... don't you get tired of listening to the same stuff over and over again?).

 

 

 

That's why you get a huge library of music. :)

 

 

 

The only time when I'm not listening to music is when I'm in school(well, I "play" songs in my head).

 

 

 

Ditto. I've been wondering how many people do that regularly. Like, if I'm not doing anything related to music or sound (like tv), then I'll be playing music in my head. Either making up my own, or songs I know.

Not sure what your definition of a huge library is, but my mp3 player of 30gb is full, and it basically consists of my very "favorites" - whereas my playlist on the computer has close to 14 000 songs... I don't know how many gbs it is though. My point though is that, sure, I understand if you have music on in the background (e.g. letting it play through your speakers) while doing other things, because then you're not really paying much attention to the music. What I don't quite understand, however, is how someone can sit with their headphones on all days listening to, basically, the same stuff. Because - unless you have an incredibly broad and diverse taste in music - it's basically the same type of music you're listening to. I don't know, I just get tired of it after a few hours (using headphones)... and I think some people in this thread might be exaggerating just a little.

Fair enough. And IMO, that is a hughe library. But I get your point.

 

For me, I've made a pretty big effort to diversify my tastes in music, and have a reasonable representation of most feasable genres in my library, so I have something to listen to for every mood. But I guess if I just had metal and nothing else, it'd get a tad boring.

How do you find new songs to listen to? And what do you find interesting about music?

 

 

 

I usually find new songs through different ways, and I find probably music interesting because there are so many things it can be, such as inspiring, etc...

I use Last.fm to find new bands, then LimeWire to get some songs of the band (I have better things to spend my money on than cds). The LimeWire part only works if they have a reasonable following though.

I listen rather seldom to music and if i do it's a rather exclusive activity. I don't really like having background music.

 

 

 

Nevertheless i consider music to be very important to my live. What i really have to do, every once in a while is walking trough the streets, in the middle of the night, in places where nobody is around, with earplugs and singing from the top of my lungs. It makes me feel really, really good. I get this warm radiant feeling from my heart.

 

 

 

I like playing the guitar and the bass to (lately rather the bass), but not as much as i love to sing. Maybe the day will come when i'll finally let it all out, when i manage to combine these passions and find the words to channel them. Oh well..

I can relate to the walking in the middle in the night, when nobody is around and with some music on. But singing to it from the top of your lungs? Ooh. Never done that. :P

Anytime i'm driving or in the house,going out. Pretty much all the time. It's a massive part of my life.

I listened to every Metallica song over and over again for roughly a year now. I haven't got tired of it yet.

 

 

 

But I'm usually always listening to music. Mostly metal or classic rock.

I don't really listen to music tbh. Not to say i avoid it, just that there's so much on tv / the radio / just around to hear at school or the mall etc that I don't ever have to go out of my way to listen to it. no major opinions on whats good and whats not, although there are a bunch of tunes i do like.

Music hasn't really been a big interest of mine and probably still isn't. I'm too lazy to look for music or search through heaps of terrible music to find something I like. But great music seem to find me somehow, either through friends, movies, radio or talent shows on TV. If I hear a song that I like I look it up on youtube and listen to it there.

 

 

 

I've never bought a CD and I can go weeks without really listening to music. But like today when I saw Swedish Idol, I heard someone sing Timbaland - Apologize (feat. One Republic) and I really liked the song. So now I'm listening to it on youtube.

I LOVE music.

 

 

 

It can get you pumped up, it can help you through a bad time, it can inspire you, it can make something long and boring much easier to get through ect.

 

 

 

Ya, music owns. Period.

I can relate to the walking in the middle in the night, when nobody is around and with some music on. But singing to it from the top of your lungs? Ooh. Never done that. :P

 

 

 

But you do sing along to songs you know by heart sometimes when you are alone or at a concert? Singing is awsome!

Yea, when I'm alone I kind of dance to it in front of the mirror and sing. At concert's I only yell powerfull one-liners.

music IS my life, simple as that. haha

Wake up, grab mp3 player, get on bus and listen to mp3 player for an hour.

 

Get to college, study music tech for 7 hours.

 

Come home, work on new music. Listen to music. Possibly watch tv/eat.

 

Go to bed, repeat.

 

I love music. :)

I spend about 6+ hours listening/playing it. It's a huge part for me because music can convey so many emotions, there's song for every mood, and I play it while I play video games, do homework, do chores, etc. etc.

 

 

 

Anywhere you find me, I'll probably have my buds in my ears, bobbing my head or just dancing like a goofy [developmentally delayed]ed monkey!! :thumbsup:

I write music like a poet writes a poem or a painter paints a painting. It's an extention of myself - a document of my life in any mood from melancholy to madness (I don't seem to write any strictly happy songs for some reason).

 

 

 

I could play you a song and you would understand who I am far better than words can portray.

 

 

 

So yes, I don't think I could live without it. In many ways, it's grown to be my catharsis, my solace and an outpouring who I am.

 

 

 

As for other bands music, it means a lot to me too. It's a trigger for the memory reservoir in my brain - I listen to a band I listened to years ago and I go back to that time, with all of the memories and feelings associated with it.

 

 

 

So there you go, it's almost something as visceral as eating for me.

I bought the new Foo Fighters album yesterday, and I think its cool. I put it on, and the whole of the CD is about just under an hour I think and by the time it has finished I cant believe that near enough an hour has gone.

 

 

 

Music can sometimes make the time fly.

10 Hours a day. Music = Life.

Well my usual day consists of playing guitar or praticing with my band, and the rest of the day is writing songs and listening to new artists.

Music is everything to me. It started when I was about 4 years old, and I started to play keyboards on my own and I composed my first song about a year later. Can't remember anything about it anymore.

 

 

 

Then in high school I played in many school concerts and took part in a musical (had three roles and I enjoyed the heck out of it!) and I was living the best time of my life.

 

 

 

Nowadays I don't have time to play piano and sing as much as I used to, but I listen to music almost all the time - music player is off only when I'm sleeping.

 

 

 

My musical taste has changed a bit during the years. As a child I liked whatever played in the radio, but today I listen to everything I can call music without bursting into tears or laughing my body parts off. Unfortunately for rap music, rap doesn't fit into my taste. Nor does country music. Almost everything does. Alternative rock from 1980's (and forward from that decade) UK and Finnish music are the two main groups that keep playing in my player again anda again. Bands like The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Placebo, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Nightwish, A Perfect Circle, Evanescence and many, many more are close to me.

I can't live without music. Music makes life interesting, makes it colourful

I probably average about five hours on my iPod a day (walking between classes, while eating lunch or dinner if I am by myself, while studying at the library, and etc.) and then another three hours or so of iTunes when I am studying in my room or just hanging out. So I would say music is a very big part of my life, a 1/4 of my life to be precise :
