How different of a person would you be without music?

CcityLights · 03-31-2011, 05:41 PM

I think if it weren't for music, I wouldn't have strong ties with my family. My parents are both non-verbal people and have a hard time expressing their feelings. I could always tell when my mother was upset and/or stoned because she would sit in the bathtub and listen to bands like the eagles, bong water and joni mitchell - she was always best at showing how she felt by playing a song that would get the point across. I now associate music, instrumentation, harmony and lyrics with an emotional experience.. and that is what has made music powerful to me. I would be dull and washed up by now if it wasn't for the unscratchable itch that is my passion for music.

The other way around, my parents don't give a **** about music. It's good they talk a lot

I could cope without music. Sport is my favourite hobby.

i also wouldn't have several random songs playing in my head all the time that I feel the urge to move my mouth silently to the lyrics during train rides thus provoking weird stares from other passengers

I dont even think I would be a person without music. I would have eventually de-volved into a gollum like creature that covets the grease from the grease pans at fast food restaurants.

If music didn't exist I might not be so much of a sociopath.

I music didn't exist I'd look even more ridiculous when I dance.

If music didn't exist I think I would collapse under my own weight. I'm quite sure that it's holding up my frame.

If music didn't exist, awkward silence would take over my world
