klankaos Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 To me, music is a huge part of my life. When I'm feeling down, or when I want to feel wayyy up, music can put me on a higher level, and just make me happy. It gets me amped for hockey games, it calms me down before I go to sleep, and it's just a huge influence on every part of my life. Music has such influences on my moods that it's almost like a drug to me. It's very definitely one of the most important things in my life. I know every word to every song I know of certain bands, and even after the CDs being beaten up so badly that they can hardly play, I still listen to them, and get the same enjoyment out of them I did when I first bought them. What role does music play in your life? How can it make you feel? What does music mean to you? Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Euphoria. Music to me is an intangible drug, art, expression, and a chance for exerting creativity all in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 What you just said. Music helps all aspect of my life. Every single bit. I'm trying to find a bit which it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deloriagod Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I use music to control my moods a lot. When I'm feeling down, just listening to something like Everything Is Going To Be Alright by Bob Marley makes me feel great inside Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese666me Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 For me, music is like my blood. It's in my veins, and i can't live without it. :D Why even try with that idiot? Honestly, there is no point whatsoever. I'd get better replies if I argued with a tree stump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 All of my role models are musicians, so music is also inspiration for me. Some of the stuff these people come up with just amazes me. Especially Jimi H. and Pink Floyd. I learn a lot from their lyrics, and the music they play gives me that euphoria I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powman3 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Euphoria. Music to me is an intangible drug, art, expression, and a chance for exerting creativity all in one. That's what it is to me. That's why I not only listen to metal and hardcore rock,I also listen to rock and alternative. It keeps me very happy at times when I am down and gives me energy when I need it. It also gives me something to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm the only one in my group of friends for whom music is such a release, and I felt kinda weird, like I shouldn't care about it so much, that it was stupid to get so into it. Now I realize that I'm not completely frickin' insane :lol: Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostlord101 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ever since I really got into music properly last year it has slowly stolen my life : Everything I can do is done whilst listening to or playing music. It can make you feel so much more and makes emotions seem more tangible. My only real heroes now in this world are musicians in the bands and artists I like..

warri0r45 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Catharsis. A release. Writing it, playing it or listening to it, it all does the same thing. I can't possibly do it justice with just these few words, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smi_Mandos Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 EVERYTHING. I can't go a day without singing or listening to something or watching some music DVD or playing piano or Mandolin or ANYTHING. And I can't imagine myself in a life where I have any sort of career unless it involves singing. All my heroes are musicians. I read about music, it's my obsession. Everyone has some sort of obsession I think, and music is mine. People tell me that I should open my eyes a bit and realise that music isn't everything... I'm very aware of that, I know music isn't everything to most people, but for someone like me who has played music, been exposed to music as much as I have all my life, I would say for me it is. Music means expression, creativity and freedom. Music is something that I can lose myself in when I've had the worst day, it cheers me up. Music brings out unique emotions, it's uplifting, exciting and emotional. It's also one of the most interesting things I can think of (for me) - just reading about any lives of musicians will stop me from being bored. It teaches. I've learned lessons from music and playing instruments and singing has definitely enriched my life. I would go on, but I don't have time and it's hard to explain everything... yeah, music really is everything to me. Haha, call me sad but I don't really care. It's who I am. Along the coast road, by the headlandThe early lights of winter glow.Ill pour a cup to you my darling.Raise it up --- say cheerio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Smi, open your eyes - the topic is full of people like you. This topic is built for people who feel exactly the same way you do. Sad is not a word we use to describe ourselves. Enlightened, maybe. Being immature is a part of being mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jernlov Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 To me, music is about immersing myself in a different place. Escapism, if you will. I, and I'm sure many of us here do also, can have a hectic life at times and I often listen to music to get some breathing space. I'll almost always put music on and close my eyes at more than one point. It's a release too. My friends often ask me what I'm going to do that night and I'll often say "don't know, I'll probably just listen to music or something." I know that I listen to far more music than my friends and I almost always get wide-eyed looks at my CD collection when friends come over. :P Steam | Soup | Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's impossible to describe how sublime listening to music is with this horrible English language. I just get lost in it every time I sit down to listen. It's completely and utterly undescribeable. Songs I get lost in: Both of the Wings For Marie songs off TOOL's 10,000 Days and any song off Bon Iver's album. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
