What can music do for you? For me, music has great power. I use music, especialy music with lyrics that mean something to me, to learn more about myself. I use it to fully understand, and feel more emotions. When I am depressed, "dark" music allows me to understand my feelings, so I can at least get something out of it. It also gives me a release, so that I can get out the negative, unhappy feelings, in a productive, non destructive way. Many people who don't relate to music as much as I do, think that listening to "dark" music, just causes more problems. But I truely think it helps me be more me, and true to myself. In my experience, simply repressing feelings is NEVER helpful. Music can take me to another place, where I feel so alive, no matter the mood. Depressed, sad, insecure, happy, sympathetic, or in love. It also helps me explain my emotions to others, by simply having them read lyrics. No matter the mood, I have music to help me out, and improve how I feel overall. It is easily, one of my favorite things about being ALIVE.

I am very musically inclined. I play about seven different instruments. I use music to tweak my emotions. Angry, listen to Linkin Park music... makes me feel better... I feel like someone knows how I feel.

I love music. I've tried to learn piano and flute in the past, and.. never quite got it... I think I'm just not musically inclined. However, music is more than just entertainment for me. Each time I listen to the song, I discover something different about it. I could listen to the same song over twenty times because of that one moment where the singer's voice hits a certain pitch.. I can't explain how music makes me feel. I really can't describe in words...

Music is my life. I'm a musician. Teaching music will be what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. I really can't put in words what music means for me. It's my everything. I don't really listen to much music, and what I do is not particularily "cool," but I don't care. Makes me happy. But with music it seems like all the worries in the world can go away, and playing just makes it 100 times better.

'Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.'

Sorry for stealing the quote Uptown. You can say it again and be more forceful than I was, okay?

I listen to music everyday but it really has nothing to do with expression for me, just entertainment.

I could never EVER EVER live without music it THE most important thing in my life right now. everything I do is about music and I deffinitly think that hip hop is one of the coolest that is one of the types of music that you dan't have to get to understand its just fun and some times funny to listen to well thats my opinion!!

Music is definitely important to me! Music is a type of therapy for me when im angry or sad! Hip-hop is one of my favorite types of music! Im ecletic though! Everything sounds good to me whether its rock,heavy metal,pop,r&b, hip hop, or dancehall! I love it! I feel 4 ya!

Without that song, some kid who usually wouldn't be drinking and smoking might be.

I dont think that is the point you meant to get across is it?

If there wasn't any music in the world, how would people express themselves? There would be no BBMac
or O-Town or (my favorite) Nas! Who would we look up to? One song by Nas called "I Can" is realy inspirational. It talkes about not doing drugs and sticking with what you started. Without that song, some kid who usually wouldn't be drinking and smoking might be. That's why music is so important!

music is like water, without it, you die. if amaris hadn't already said it, i would give you that bob marley quote.

Quoting Madonna: "Music makes the people come together"
Music can...

calm you
excite you
make you happy
make you sad
make you dance
make you relieved
make you feel better

Music is such a part of our lives that if it was taken away, for one, MTV and dozens of artists would be out of a job, besides, we wouldn't know what to do without it!

Music can bring tears to my eyes or joy to my soul. Whichever it does it is extremely powerful

Music is the REAL universal language. Music speaks to so many people in so many ways it's amazing...it's my life (that could be cuz I'm a musician) I eat music, breathe music, and sleep music.

Yeah music is very powerful especially worship music, I love listening to music its peacful, well some of it

I also feel this way about music, along with Elvis Costello. Of course, he felt this way first... "Its whats on the record not what labels on it. You know, thats like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard."

Yeah, music is totally important to me, like when I really wanna tell someone how I feel, I find a song that I would play to them to show them my feelings, so in other words, I express myself through music. Also, if I am sad, frustrated, mad, or any other difficult feeling, I find songs that I can relate to. Music has great power if you let it.

To quote God (AKA Bob Marley) "One good thing about music...when it hits you, you feel no pain. So hit me with the music, brutalize me with the music."
