I can't function without music.

Post Reply New Topic

Is anyone else like this? I can't do anything productive without music.

I'm exactly the same way. I have to have my music playing, in order for me to get anything done, except for when I vaccum. It's hard to hear my music with the vaccum on. Other than that, I'm sleeping.

I love music very much. It's calming

Sometimes it's music. More often lately it's podcasts. I can't do anything without having some informative discussions or debate chattering my ear. Including sleep.

I can't go a day without listening to music. I like to listen to the same music over and over again.

I like music but I can't think with music in the background. At work I'll listen to classical music but that's it.

I'm not quite as bad right now... but I usually can't leave the house without my MP3 and headphones... or do anything stressful.

I also like to listen to the same music over again, as well. i try different music from different groups that were around durring my favourite era, but I always manage to go back to my favourite group.

Me too. I have synesthesia, which interferes. Sometimes, if I'm doing mindless browsing or spending ages trying to find an article, it gets so dull that I need to turn on the music. I also don't go out without my mp3 player with noise-cancelling earphones. So basically yes, I do need music to function. It helps me think better and express my emotions. Sometimes, I think it even helps me do better socially.

I'm the same way. Luckily, I listen to music everyday at my job. (ballet dancer) I like to draw too and I always always have music on when I'm drawing. I can't think without it. I need it everyday for my walk to work or if I ride the bus anywhere. I'm also synesthesiac. Plus, when I'm getting overwhelmed, music will always calm me down. I get very anxious when I don't have my headphones with me.

Defiantly, and that's a problem for the people around me since they cannot work with music, especially my tastes.

But there's people that can handle working with just random noise of the world going on, I cannot do that. I have trouble tuning that stuff out.

the only thing i can't do WITH music, or any background sound, is write--otherwise, music is 100% necessary for exercise, waiting, or anything else that doesn't involve socialization (and even then.. i'll be hard-pressed to take both buds out of my ear).

it's a means of saturating my mind with sound, image, and emotion--like fireworks, or something. i prefer listening to music in an isolated place, though, rather than using it background noise. it's too powerful for that.

I must have music at all times. Driving, mucking about, photo editing, and when going to sleep. My mother is the complete opposite. If we're in the same vehicle I have to turn the stereo off and listen to her talk. :/

yes, find it difficult to function, especially vaccuum or do housework, without music. It totally energises me.
I don't have it on when doing other things like watching TV of course.

I can drive for hours and hours, just with CDs and the occasional coffee.

It's usually the same music over and over and over - I almost never like new music, although if I want to integrate it into my life then I can do it by listening about ten times over a few weeks. I did used to listen to radio but that was years agol.

I actually prefer silence most of the time these days. If I'm home alone, I almost never have music or TV. When I was younger, I wanted music a lot, but then I moved someplace where there was no space for our DVD collection, so I stopped listening. I know nowadays there are MP3 players, but I don't have one or know how that stuff works. I've totally lost touch with pop music, and don't really know what I like. I've developed an aversion to most music with lyrics, except things like, "Particle Man", and that kind of thing. Most of it seems to be people whining about relationships. Snooze.

I do have something on my computer server thingy, which is music from Yuki Kajiura, which I like, but I don't listen to often.

Also, once in a while I listen to this guy: www.jeffoster.com He's one of my favorite musicians, and just so happens to be a family friend as well, which is pretty cool. I'll plug his music here so maybe people will buy it, so he can quit his day job. We listened to one of his CDs nonstop from the SF Bay Area to Legoland, near San Diego. That's like a six or seven hour drive. We never got tired of it.

hi kel.
Then i hope you will be playing cd's all the way up to murwillumbah on friday!!
Unless of course the rain keeps up, and the roads between your place and my place get blocked.
