Why do you love music?

Kevorkian Logic · 10-07-2007, 12:14 PM

Because I dig it. It makes my mind feel happy.

This is such a difficult question. I think I loved music when I was very young because I liked to sing along but as I got older I started to notice the effects songs could have on me and that's what I got addicted to.

I also love the fact that every single song will have a memory attached after the first listen, even if the memory is of that first listen.

Yea, i forgot to mention that. Its like when something big happens in your life, you remember where you were and what you were doing. Same thing for a good song.

Yeah. And if you ever want to get mentally taken back to that time, all you have to do is put the right song on. Lovely.

word to that

- remember when i first heard Our Love to Admire by Interpol, and John Frusciantes solo stuff (one of my favorite albums) was actually during an acid trip. and im not saying that to try and be cool, but i remember each song playing and the entire experience. it was incredible, and i still love the music that much to this day.

Your music asks for nothing and gives everything. Are you feeling angry, upset in love, disappointed in the system? Your music feels the same way. The artists speak to you. They relate to you musically or lyrically.

When you go to see a favourite live band. Hundred of people feel the same thing you do-belonging, exhilaration. On this one night you are all together sharing the same hopes and dreams, anger and disappointments.

Music helped me emotionally through my parents divorce when I was 15. My love for music was strengthened tenfold from here. I am married and have children. I love them dearly, but music; selfishlly, will always be my first love.

Music will never let me down, and lets me express my emotions by proxy. Music still get's me excited, angry, upset, intense and a whole host of other emotions because of it's honesty. That is why when ever I listen to music it has to be honest. I can't describe what exactly this attribute is, but I think most of us, by merely being on this site; can understand that honesty that is so sorely missing from what the populace terms music.

Music is a powerful medium. It is also the most personal.

I've never used this smiley before and probably won't again but I think it's justified here.

There was nothing else to do in those really long car rides when I was little.
