I feel that music plays a big part of my life. It has helped me through tough times in my life and I feel as if the artist is speaking to me when they write lyrics. I’d hate to feel like I’m the only one who thinks that. To those of you who love music with a passion, how has music touched you. Do you feel like it is a means of escape? If so, how come?
Oh, my gosh. I thought I was the only one to feel the way you do. I have always had a special niche in my heart for music. I do feel that the artist’s (whoever it is) words touch me everytime. Either I find myself dancing with joy, feeling anger, crying or any other emotion that crops up. There are even feelings that arise that can have no explanation. When I used to sing in my high school choir, I would feel like I was in another world. I would feel complete and utter joy(even if the song was depressing). There is just a power that music has over me. That does not mean, however, that I listen to all music. I give it a chance and if I don’t like it I don’t listen. I don’t have to love every piece of music that has ever been or will be written. That is one of the beauties of music ~ diversity. It is diverse in it’s categories but also brings people together. I don’t know how to explain that, especially since I just ramble.
Okay. I won’t make you read your eyes out.
music is the driving force in my life. none of my favorites have lyrics though… i feel that if i didn’t play the violin, my life would have gone down the shit hole a long time ago.
I listen to Heavy Metal because it allows me a place to release my energy. Instead of yelling at my friends and family, I can let LG Petrov from Entombed do it for me !
I’d go crazy without my cds, no doubt in my mind.

The Beatles and KISS got me through a lot. I play bass and still love those tunes.
I almost never listen to the Doors unless I’m really angry about something. Something about listening to Jim Morrison helps me channel that emotion into something useful. If I’m not worked up over something, they don’t really appeal to me. I have no idea why this is.
