TheSpirit: Why Do You Music?

TheSpirit 12.04.11	All these albums are very special and represent something very personal for me. Music overall is my everything -- it's my reward for a hard day at work, it's the light in the darkness and it's everything in between. Without music I would have nothing. Dramatic? Definitely not, I think we here can all understand just how important music really is.
Trebor. 12.04.11	It's just the way my brain works I don't ask questions, I just appreciate the fact that I love music so much
TheSpirit 12.04.11	Pretty much the same. I've never questioned why I love, just the fact that I do.
Restrikted 12.04.11	Music means everything honestly. Anger, Emotion, Sadness etc. Honestly, a lot of this is done by Electronic music. Hybrid and Royksopp were my first main introduces to the genre.
MisterSteel 12.04.11	Never really bothered to think about it, but one thing I've always appreciated is that it basically helps everything. If I've got the right music in the background, I can think more clearly. When I listen to music at work, I end up doing everything better. Music just makes things way more interesting and enjoyable. Plus, like I'm sure almost everyone will say, I just do love it, I never really bothered to give it a reason.
Dday 12.04.11	I feel like a loser for saying this but, without music, I have nothing.
Blackbelt54 12.04.11	yeah I love music to death, idk why it's not my only passion though
Wolfhorde 12.04.11	It's a hobby, it can be medicine (srsly), it's easier to make associations with music (remember things), music is part of culture, it brings people together and well yeah, habit. Combine these.
Restrikted 12.04.11	I feel like a loser for saying this but, without music, I have nothing. Don't worry i'm the exact same way
Blackbelt54 12.04.11	"without music, I have nothing." isn't necessarily true for me, but without music, I'd probably be bored/depressed 95% of the time
JJwins 12.04.11	Music can take all of the emotions I feel on a day to day basis and put them into something somewhat tangible. It takes what I feel internally and expresses it externally. It also helps me connect more deeply with other people who are into the same music because we both feel the same way internally, and are connected by the external - which is music. I'd go crazy if I didn't have music. I'd have no release for the internal emotions that bring me up or down everyday.
Trebor. 12.04.11	Would definitely be depressed without music
MisterSteel 12.04.11	It definitely helps balance everything out to make whatever's going on easier to deal with.
Fugue 12.04.11	It's cool to fap to.
KotoFtw 12.04.11	I love those perfect moments where you listen to a song and it just moves you, and you want to cry for no reason.
Yuli 12.04.11	Yeah, all of this Honestly sometimes when I don't find any music I love I wonder why I spend so much time looking for music. But when I find something that just moves me insanely, it all comes together. It happened with Mew, it happened with Godspeed, it happened with Trophy Scars and it's happening now with A Lot Like Birds. There are moments when music is so enjoyable that it just makes you view life in a completely different way - those are the moments I look for in music. When music makes the woes of life that much more bearable, I remember why I spend so much time with it.

Acanthus 12.04.11	Music is something that won't let you down, and in times of hardship among friends that is something to be cherished.
ohfoxxxycole 12.04.11	music has been an escape for my emotions my whole life idk WHATEVERF

Vesper 12.04.11	cuz m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/ also it's fun to chill to and pass the time with (instead of doing nothing) [2] I wouldn't die without music. I'd probably kill myself if I couldn't draw or paint ever again, though.
taxidermist 12.04.11	Music has always been there for me. It keeps me sane. It makes me want to be a better person. It makes me feel great. I love how it speaks to me. How some of it can and WILL make you shed a tear. It's made me what I am today and I love it.
Gilgamahesh 12.04.11	Cause what would pornos be without porno music NOTHING I TELL YOU NOTHING except y'know fucking cuz m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/m/ also it's fun to chill to and pass the time with (instead of doing nothing) [3]
liledman 12.04.11	its my passion, hobby, area of study, 'career path', etc. there is nothing i feel anywhere nearly as passionate about.
FromDaHood 12.04.11	Because it's one of the few things I can connect to on an emotional level every time I become involved with it
MO 12.04.11	^ basically that. Also it's my favourite art form with literature a close second and can basically satisfy any situation.
Emim 12.04.11	Music is one of my few passions and one of even fewer things that come naturally to me. It's so thoroughly woven throughout my life that I don't know how I would get on without it.

Gilgamahesh 12.04.11	"I didn't know people who only listen to metalcore, death metal and other anti-music have emotions! wow, you guys are so impressive." The wisdom of Baseline. How profound.
NWOAHM666 12.04.11	Hatred. Violence. Rage. Love. Pain. Misery. A combination of all of these plus some more.
