I like listening to music because it comforts me.I like reggae,soca,r&b,hip-hop and calypso.My favourite artiste is LUCKY DUBE which i listen to him when i am hurting.His music always lift up my spirits.I like soca because it has a fast beat and i can dance to it.Music should be all about helping people cope with life and its many burdens.I hate songs that are disrespectful to us or thats obscene.Wish people would use music to help create a better world and not corrupt it.

I like listening to music a lot. I usually have some kind of music playing while doing about anything I have to do. I listen mostly to rock music, but also to pop and some other stuff. I like to listen to it because I like the music, because it gives me some distraction, because I can sing along or just because it makes the room less silent. I really wouldn't like to be deaf and not being able to hear it.

listening to music for me is a chance to get away, Northern soul and Telma Motown makes me want to dance around and also i can relate to many of the songs, my worst nightmare would be stuck in a club only playing dance and RnB music.... ughgh hell.

I like to turn on the musice when I'm outside the house, it makes me feel the time goes even faster when I'mworking outside listening to the music. And of course it is less boring with the background music.

I like listening music. It just changes my mood. Everybody likes music very much. I like rock music rather than melodious ones. It can solve many problems related to our mind. It's great. Even many doctors use to say that listening music is good for mind and health.

Listening music just changes our mood and we may feel more relaxed. It depends on our mood we can listen different types of music accordingly. There are even songs that may feel us energetic and inspirational. We can make someone happy or ourselves happy by listening music. It is good option when we are tired and exhausted. While traveling also music is the best option which many people uses.

"Music is food for the soul" someone famous once said, and I agree. I'm a slave to my creativity so emotion is frequently a tool in my art be it anger, sadness, confusion, hope, love, joy, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And my eclectic musical taste reflects that: Linkin park, some Godsmack, and Evanessence - my hard rock and grunge - to channel anger, hurt, and rage making it insporation for creation rather than something destructive. LOL, Vanessa Mae, Viva La Vida - techno and what I call dream music, to help me focus vitality and joy. Blue October, AFI, and other tunes with a haunting sound and intriguing lyrics for when Im feeling desolate. To make a long comment a little shorter; I think music is a tool, it can either inflame emotions or focus them, all depending on how you use it. So listen wisely, what you hear becomes part of you. And please know what your songs are saying, you may not like the song for the words but you'll learn them regardless, and those sentiments will become part of you. Ear candy - can't get enough. ;D

Listening to music is a perfect way of relaxation for me. I like listening to classical music, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Beethoven, and also of other countries. I have a collection of CD's and listen to them in the evenings after I get back home from work to relax and get rid of the stresses and strains of the day !

I used to listen to music all the time, when I was going to bed, walking to school, walking home, driving in the car. Now I just listen to it to vent my emotions, so I listen to a lot of sad songs and a lot of sappy love songs. I am mostly into country music.
