For a lot of people, music doesn’t seem to be much of an influence or motivator in their life. And for others, their lives seem to revolve around it.

How much influence do you think music has had on your life, and why? Give examples!

Music helps me realize & express my emotions, which I would have to say is a pretty important influence in life. When I can’t quite pin down something on an emotional level, going through my music library and deciding out what I want to listen to can help me realize what’s going on with my feelings…even if it takes eons to realize just what that song meant to me, in my heart & soul. Years after I last saw William, I finally figured out that I’d been in love with him when it dawned on me that I couldn’t think of him without hearing As I Lay Me Down by Sophie B. Hawkins in my head.
