How different of a person would you be without music?

Husker Du's Warehouse : Songs & Stories got me through a suicidal phase - this was the time I was banging my head against the mirror, trying to break the glass and get shards in my brain or something somehow or the other, the mirror never broke (picture something like the Damaged LP cover)

I wouldn't say that music has saved me from suicide, but it definitely has made my periods of depression a lot easier.

hmmm well, I don't know. I don't have this deep connection to music like some of you guys to the point where you want to commit suicide or whatever.

Seems a bit extreme but I don't think I would be a different person at all.

The only thing music has helped with me a little bit is being able to socialize with people from different backgrounds. Since I listen to a little bit of everything, I used that as a gateway to chat up random people and have made some awesome friends for it but if I didn't have music. I would come up with some other universal type of hobby/subject to use to get to know people.

meh, music isn't all srs bzn to me like it is for the rest of you guys.

I wouldn't be a drummer and would still be playing a lot of video games, I suppose. Also, I'd still be wondering what the big deal was with music.

Oh I could never kill myself, that doesn't make any sense to me. I used music as a turning point to replace something else that would have killed me by now for sure.

it's gotten to the point where music has become a huge emotional outlet for me - i cry if i hear certain songs, get angry to some songs, get huge joy from some, smug from some, and comedy from others, and also twitching my body uncontrollably to others

I'd probably be an emotional wreck, very likely a deceased one.

A very boring, one-dimensional one I imagine.
