How different of a person would you be without music?

I just tried to think of it and my head exploded.

If music wasn't in my life, I'd likely be still pretty messed up.

PLaying live music gave me a lot of confidence and broke me out of the shell of being the shy kid I was. It made me realize that I was actually able to do something creative and cool.

Playing in a band too also allowed me to channel a lot of bad experiences and feelings into something a little more positive (I was for a time the main lyricist in some of my bands). It essentially gave me a useful pressure release valve.

Most of all, being in a band and playing bass allowed me to be the person I wanted to be. I've always felt that most of my life all the people around me have been pulling my strings, channeling me into doing things I didn't want to do, pressurizing me. Being in a band allowed me to finally be the person I'd always wanted to be, without ANYONE barring my bandmates putting any sort of obligations on me.

Without music life would almost have no meaning what so ever. Musics actually one of the few things im good at. Its what people know about me and associate me with. I couldnt imagine not having music in my life.

Without music, I don't think I'd be as creative. Music really inspires me.

Awkward silence wouldn't be so awkward though because it would be the norm and you wouldn't even notice the silence and it wouldn't bother you because you are used to it.

i agree completely. Although, i'm not sure how anyone could not give a **** about music, regardless of who they are.

Haha, me neither. They really don't care.
Yes they do watch X-factor crap stuff and tell me I should really listen to this time because 'this and this guy is a really good singer'.

By the way you might not want to write like this all the time, it looks quite a bit like you are shouting.

I think music has defintely led me to be a more reflective person, I feel I have discovered a huge amount about myself through lyrics and messages I have taken from songs. I also quote songs quite well in casual conversation. I enjoy this!
