Everyone seems to listen to music for more than just entertainment. I for example love listening to music when Im sad, it always seems to cheer me up. I also listen to music when Im really mad about things. It always seems to put me in a better mood than I was previously in, even when I'm already in a good mood! Why do you listen to music?

hello, For me music is a way of showing my emotions. I listened to music because I entertained when I am bored when I am sad when I am happy. I can relate many things in music. I love it specially the RNB. LOL

I agree my preferences definitely change depending on my mood. If I'm sad I usually listen to something that has a lot of signing and is generally sad in nature as well. Whereas if I am excited I listen to something fast paced like metal music. And sometimes if im just being laid back I even listen to some radio pop music!

Music can remove the loneliness feeling.. Music is relaxing us and makes our day better... Music is a way to express ourselves and let others know what we feel.. I think that everyone loves to listen music..

Music is a language of our soul. I only listen to music when I have time to. Sometimes music change my mood depending on what I listen to be it love song or fast music. I listen to music when I still up during the night. I can even listen to music while reading my favorite music.

Music is only for the recreation & directly connects to the soul. Music which you want to choose to listen is totally depends upon your mood as well as our environment. Your thinking is directly proportional to your mood. And everything which is going about you is get concerned with your thinking. So the choice of your mood is totally depends upon your thinking in your life & mood concerns only for a particular time of interval.

I was exposed to music at a young age so I feel that I can't live without it. I know a lot of people feel this way too. I listen to music because I'm addicted to it. It inspires me, it helps me concentrate, and it helps be feel better. I'm more at peace when I listen to music. Your right music is more than just entertainment. I love it!
