    I would die if I was deaf. Seriously, I would. I live and breathe music. I play guitar, piano, and clarinet. :) Clarinet not so much anymore, though. But guitar and piano, yes. I love listening to the music as a whole, all the different sounds and voices coming together as one. It's one of life's most beautiful treasures.

    I'm seriosuly addicted to music. When my phone got lost along with my 4gb memory card with all of my music, the first thing people said to me was " But what about all your music? How are you gonna listen to it?" I litterally live and breath music.

    I'd say music takes a big part of my life. In the childhood, I used to listen to oldschool rock with my parents, we used to go ANYWHERE by the car.. Long car trips + music. Now I'm listening to the songs we used to listen to back then and I feel like each song has it's story.. My own story.

    Now I'm pretty open to all of the music. I don't really fancy rap or hip-hop or r'n'b but I still find some songs which stick to me. ;} I love MGMT, Cold War Kids, Crystal Castles, the XX, Mindless Self Indulgence, Icelandic music, Lady Gaga.. Well, lots of it. I start my day with music and I finish it with heaphones in my ears so I can't imagine my life without music. I love to see people listening to it, their mimics and then I realise how much does music mean.

    I'm going to use a cliche expression but I really do think that music is my life. If I could I'd make a living from it, I write my own lyrics, my own compositions, sadly I don't have the money to record though, or buy my own recording equipment.

    I got into music through a health disorder I have and I suppose it's set me back quite a lot, and I escaped my depression through music, I was able to open up and create what I wanted. At first I taught myself basics, chords on guitar, I taught myself scales for singing, and then I continued from there. Eventually I got lessons in school but it wasn't teaching methods as such, I learnt how to play different songs really, that was it. I refused to do Grade exams because I can't read music and I don't want to start now. I also got a B in my music A Level and I was the only girl in the class who couldn't read music and wasn't classically trained, I was proud of myself to be honest. And there were people in the class who did Grade Five Theory and they came out with lower grades than I did. That sounds so selfish and cocky of me but I'm trying to show an example of how you don't need any training to be a good musician or even to enjoy it Cute

    I love music. But at times I hate it. I walk into a mall, go into a cd store, and blow my money on Cds. But it's always worth it. Like yesterday for example, I was in a mall, found a cd store, and spent my twenty dollars on Kings Of Leon, And All Time Low. But it was definitely one of my best purchases.
    I wish more people would learn instruments, and teach. Then I could start up a band and actually get some where in life. Rather than sitting in my room daydreaming. My guitar lesson's are almost 2 hours away from where I live. It's about a 400 population town, and the closet lesson is a minor city. So every Saturday I get up and my dad drives two hours to my guitar lesson.
    My favorite bands are probably Paramore, All Time Low, Cartel, and Taking Back Sunday.

    Music is playing 24/7 in my ears I sing and really REALLY! want to play guitar, bass, drums, piano and cello If I don't listen to music while doing something I can't think straight it keeps me sane and so do my friends because they love music just as much as me :) even if my mom says it brainwashes me (i swear she doesn't know the meaning of that word.)

    Music is my thing. I prefer calling it that, because I find the phrase "music is my life" overused. But it takes up most of what I do; I rarely (if ever) go a day without listening to at least one song or piece, and similarly I barely ever go a day without playing one of my instruments. I play piano, trombone and guitar (mainly), along with drums, viola and clarinet more casually.

    I'm studying music at A2 level at the moment and I'm aiming to study it further at university. I've played in a handful of orchestras and I'm fairly sure that's how I'd like to earn a living, or at least to play or teach.

    Music is definitely my number one hobby. I play bass in a band called Shatter The Curse (check us out! The facebook link's in my signature!), which is a rock/metal fusion, and I used to play bass in a ska/punk band called Badassafrass / Pigeon Hawk and loads of bands before that. Right now my band's between members and it's getting really old. My band is always my life, so without a full band I feel like I have like, no life, haha. but my goal for today is to get the word out as much as possible to get things going again.

    I love music more than almost anything.
    I always have my iPod with me even if I'm not listening to it (I feel incomplete without it) and I feel like music is a way to allow all pent up emotions to get out.
    I sing and I play three instruments badly :P my best friend and I are attempting to form a band
    My favorite bands are: Black Veil Brides, Motionless in White, and Blood on the Dance Floor

    Honestly, I think I can say with a lot of certainty that I wouldn't be who I am today without music. It keeps me (somewhat) sane and has helped me through a lot. Unfortunately, I need to be careful because, since I'm half-deaf by birth, I have a lot higher chance of going completely deaf, at which point I highly doubt I could keep my sanity... mrgun

    I love music and often times I rely on it to keep my sanity, literally. I find reasons to make it apart of my everyday life, and due to the vast amount of sound/clip files I have stored in my own personal library, my mind, I can bring up whatever I feel is necessary for the moment.

    Music, has always been there to comfort me, it's been the one thing in my life I can count on to be there when I need it, no matter what, and music has saved my life. In more ways than one.

    I have Aspergers, this will and has caused me a certain degree of anxiety, depression, social problems, and irrational need of solitude. When I get anxiety ridden the only thing that can calm, comfort, and soothe me is music. When I got deeply depressed at a young age (8 years), I was inconsolable by my family and had come close to suicide.

    The song, Who I am Hates Who I've Been by Reliant K, was on of few that serenaded me, that spoke to me, and got me thinking more clearly. In-order to relate to the music I so idolize and love, I'd have to live. And I'd have to turn myself into someone who could hate that depression, someone who could resist the temptation to wallow around in self pity and desolate thoughts.

    So far, I've done relatively well, I've carried with me a few thoughts, coping habits, and mannerisms from that time, and I do occasionally slip back into my old ways for short periods of time, but other than that I've stayed 'clean and sober'.

    Because of my previously mentioned experience, love of logical and psychological information, and poor social skills I often found myself comforting others with similar mental downfalls. I've been able to talk down many cutters, and those that were depressed or suicidal, though, I've also discovered that some simply refuse to be helped or reasoned with.

    I listen to a relatively varied array of bands; examples: Simple Plan, Brokencyde, Saliva, Three Days Grace, SR-71, Bowling For Soup, Limp Bizkit, Say Anything, Reliant K, 10 Years, Papa Roach, Rehab, Gym Class Heroes, Miranda Lambert, and the list goes on, until it ends, that is.

    I remember I met this kid last year who doesn't listen to any music at all...I don't get how you could do that. Music is such a big part of my life and it's always been the constant thing that has been there for me when people weren't.

    My favorite band is and always has been the Jonas Brothers. Make fun of it all you want but I can't help but love those three boys. Their music inspires me and I love each of their personalities. They can always cheer me up when I'm down just by putting on their music. They taught me that I should have hope when times get rough.

    My other favorites are Allstar Weekend, One Direction, Taylor Swift, We Are The In Crowd, The Downtown Fiction, All Time Low, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, A Rocket To The Moon, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, etc (I'd list more but I'm too lazy to reach into my bag to get my ipod)

    My current favorite songs is More Than This by One Direction :) (if you haven't checked out their album you should!)

    I've loved music since the day I was born.
    It's my favorite thing in the world. I love it more than anything else.
    I love all styles, all genres, both listening to it and playing it.
    Without it I probably wouldn't be here to type this.

    I listen to every kind of music, although I don't really like too much screamo or hip hop. And I can only count the hip hop artists that I really like.

    I'd probably be dead by now had it not been for music.

    I play guitar in and vocals in my band, it's one of my vices. Mr. Green

    Music didn't save my life or anything, but holy cow! I love music so so much! I am so obsessed that I go out of my way to search underground bands/groups/songs that no one's really heard of. No hipster intended, I swear.

    I just love it! But I gotta say reggae speaks to my heart like no other genre has before.
