No. In fact, never. I love music. It is a divine music. While going to work i listen to the songs in my mobile. I like to interpret the lyrics with my life. There are some really great songs that just touch your soul and you can't stop listening to them.. What would have happened if there was no music..at least my boring life would become much more boring. Lol. Lately i have planned to listen to some good songs just before sleep. It soothe my soul.. Do you love music or listen just for music sake? Even the ancient Indian books say music is a medicine to heal every pain. And yeah that's true..believe or not. What's your take on this?

I listen to music. because I like to listen, not just soothing souls.. but making me happy. I just don't listen to sad music that will make me sadder. or over a love song that will make me look and feel miserable. I like to listen to music that I can sing along with.. or I can sleep with.. like blues.. I love Jazz. and the sexy tone of saxophone...

Oh. Hmm..so you are the selective type listener if i am right. Sad songs does not make me sad. Neither love songs give me more love feelings or make me feel awkward. Lol. It all depends on how you interpret the lyrics Mavic. Blues are really good. Sometimes i just sleep with my music on. Lol. Jazz is pretty good too. I love them both. I listen to almost all known music types to me.

You can avoid all the 'a' you used. Because you are listening not just to one music but many songs. You are getting really good at english now. Keep it up. Listening to music, gives me ideas too just like you. It sometimes inspires me to write a poem.

Sometimes, I listen only for the sake of listening. There are various types of music which I love, hindi songs being the best. However, I also feel that everything in the universe is music. The entire world is a musician. Listen to the sweet chirping of the birds. That is perhaps the best music in the world. Then there is the sound of the ocean waves, which are also sometimes musical.

Do you get enjoyment just by listening to music? Hmm..i have stopped listening hindi songs long ago. Yeah naute has the best rhythm ever. People cannot create such music. And i feel music "happens" and does not come when we try it but comes out straight from the heart.

Music is I think another art of interpretation. I listen to music because the music helps me inspired and still, it depends on music. Music is a soul where song writer express their inner soul and emotion that is why those people who listen have similar idea and emotion from the music they here. That is all.

Very rightly expressed. Music is the one thing that unites different hearts in one rhythm. There would be no one who does not love music.

I listen to music for relaxation purposes, and when i can't sleep i will listen to mellow music for me to fall asleep. Music has a big part in my life, for i'm a music lover, i can't live without music, its like music is part of my life, glad i can sing, but not a good singer.

Yes, Yes! Every now and then I turn on internet radio or playlist just for the sake of listening to music. These days though I am trying to just keep a playlist of German music, to prepare my baby for German language.

Wow. That's so nice of you. But doesn't internet audio streaming cost more data than downloading it once and listen to whenever you feel?

I love music. But I am not getting time to listen. I am getting one hour time when I am going to office and coming back. During that time only I am getting to listen the song. I like classical music more. Yes some doctors are telling about music therapy. It is best medicine for the stress.

I wouldn't say I do. Music means a lot to me. Sometimes I analyze and interpret the lyrics, sometimes I listen to it to get into a whole calmer state of mind, sometimes I dance to it, sometimes I listen music to calm down or get some energy, or if I feel sad and wanna relate to some song, like I wanna have a feeling that I'm not alone with my problems...

Oh great. Music does wonders. Sometimes i too actually listen and learn how the writers frame words into such beautiful lyrics.

music makes our life colorful too.. it is soothing and relaxing so I believe that music can heal us.. I listen to music when I am in the mood for it.. specially at times when I am happy, sad or just wanna have fun dancing.. music describes what kind of personality we have.. I can't imagine life without music.. a boring one I guess..

Music is one of my mood changers. Listening to it sometimes it make me happy and sometimes it make me sad. But I'll be more sad if music doesn't exists. Music really change my boring life.

Why would it look strange? Everyone has their choices, likes and dislikes. If you are happy with it then why worry. Cheer up friend.

Music is my life. I listen to and write music everyday. I will listen to almost anything that is around with very few exceptions. Music is by far the most important concept in my life. Music is good for the soul, the mind, and even healing. Statistics show that people are more likely to cope so long as they are not deprived of what they want, such as music. No music would mean a disaster of the Earth. There would be more depression without music. Music is by far the best thing for people.

So you are a song writer? Or you create tunes? I hope one day i can listen to your songs. :) Music is really divine. Just can't explain it. But at the same time i feel bad for people who can't listen music. I hope you can do something about that too. Welcome to mylot friend.

I believe music is healing. It can be calming, fun, or have lyrics people can relate to. I don't just listen to music. I dance to it, I sing to it, and I create it with my guitar.
