How different of a person would you be without music?

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.
