Has music changed you in any significant way? I feel that my music has allowed me to understand myself better and it's helped me find a place in myself which before music i never knew existed. I has helped me to get a bearing in life and it gives me solace in knowing that its always there if i need it. How about you guys?
When I learned how to play guitar, I suddenly had something I could focus on, and do in my life. It changed me quite a bit. I've been playing for several years, and I must say, composing different songs and stuff is pretty cool, and I've never felt happier than when I sing and play.
music has made my life significantly happier. when i am down i can always turn to it to make me feel better
Music has changed my life greatly. Around I year ago, and even today, I have been picked on and made fun of. I was even thinking about suicide. Then my friend showed me some songs and I could really relate to them. After that, I dreamed of joining a band to make music for the people like me.
This. The guitar and my appreciation of music (through the discovery of bands I enjoyed) have made me a very different person with new outlets. Discovering music was one of the best things I've ever done.
Music has definitely changed my way of thinking. I see lunacy, greed and stuff in a different light now. (Pink Floyd) Also, learning how to play instruments (bass, guitar, piano) has given me a direction in life and a goal to aim for.
Music changed me to a fairly large degree. At first, when I was first exposed to hip-hop/rap, I figured out my friends listened to it. I then started to listen to "Money,Money, Ho, Money, Money, Bling, Clothes" Then I transitioned over to rock music for a short while, where I began to figure out what music actually is and the top geniuses of it. With that knowledge, I dug "underground" to find out that there is more to hip-hop than the simple mainstream garbage you heard on the radio 24/7 repeatedly. Music has changed my way of thinking, and whenever I listen to it, I'm not just singing along with the lyrics, I'm actually figuring out what they mean. And whoever thinks a genre belongs to a certain race is too stubborn and cowardly to get rid of their past.
not really, i only really listen to music when i'm driving the car somewhere. but from what people in real life told me and looking at some of the posts here, i am somewhat intrigued on how music affects people.
Music is my happy place. Whenever I have a bad day, feel down, or whatever I can always count on listening to music to cheer me up, or just to vent my emotions by singing. It also gives me my creative spirit. I can't work on anything at without music. Even in my art class, My teacher always had the radio on. Tough the world may change, the music stays the same. And I need that kind of constant thing to turn to.
At first glance of the question, I would say "no" but now that I think about it, the correct answer for me is probably "yes." Without music, my life was very much...well quiet, but in many more senses than the literal one. Music has done more than made my day or passed the time. Its helped me connect with friends, share moments with them, etc. Sometimes saying a lyric from a song makes us all sing along in a cheesy/corny but funny way. Music has also served as an outlet for some of my problems.
Being a music producer, or beat dabbler, whatever you want to call it, I think it has had a great impact on me. It has given me a sense of rhythm, I know about music theory, what instruments sounds good together, and how write music to fit certain moods. I also know how to write drum patterns and fills easier. So yeah, it may not have changed my life or anything like, but it has helped me with my own music.
I don't want to say that music has changed me so much as reflected who I was at given points in time. The music I listen to bounces back how I feel and how I think, both through the message of the piece and my interpretation of it/what I find interesting about it. Now that I've reached a bit of a musical zen where I can listen to just about anything worth listening to (and some things that aren't), I'm trying to build my knowledge base so I can create pieces of my own. I feel like that's sort of making a mirror myself, letting others see their reflections through my own personal craft. I've always thought of music like a collective energy, something that can be gathered into oneself, shaped, manipulated, or passed on to others to send a message like no other.
Yes. I suppose it has, in all honestly, music has kept me from going out and acting on my thoughts. It can change my move quickly though, bad to good or good to bad. It has its pros and cons but its helped open me up to the world.
I guess it has made me a bit softer than I was. A few years back I was one of those "tough girls" who didn't give a crap about anything. Once I found the bands I nowadays love to no end, I started to become more emotional and stopped hitting people. (loljk I never really hit anyone; except my sister, she deserved it.) I can still be a bit of a betch sometimes, though. :v
