I wish everyone communicated through music.
For example, today I'm feeling unsettled, with a shaky sense of self, my sister is very late for our visit and it's gloomy outside.
I'm constantly just inputting music I come up with into my computer. If we all communicated in music I could say I feel like this:

If I'm constantly writing music for my feelings, I would love if we communicated like that because maybe we would understand feelings better. If I could listen to how you feel through music, I'd probably understand how you feel better.

Your music didn't sound particularly gloomy or unsettled to me, just kind of introspective but with a cheery beat to it. Very pretty, though.

To me too, I didn't feel anything gloomy in it. But maybe I received your mood, because Little Something Inside Of Me made up a song named Wünsch' ich war tot geboren (I wish I were born dead) after listening to your music :roll:

I usually remind a song when I think of something or something happens... It's always a song to show a mood by it.

At first I thought it would be chaos because everyone interprets music differently so there would be lots of misunderstandings. Then I realised that it wouldn't be much different from the current system we use for communicating.

I wish people just had octopus skin that changed colors to indicate mood so I wouldn't have to guess what they're really feeling all the time.

I heard it as anxious / regret, which sounds reasonably close. I would like to communicate by music, but I am not original, so for me it's always a (usually subconscious) exercise in sifting through huge amounts of other peoples' songs. :?

I don't think I could. It never even occurred to me that an Aspie could even do that. Go figure huh? An Aspie thinking that all other Aspie's operate just like me.

I can "write for my feelings." For me, music just comes to me, usually only a few bars at a time. That little "snippet" might be of one mood or another that matches how I "feel" at the time (and I use the word "feel" very lightly), but once I pick a snippet and decide to develop it, it takes on a life of its own.

Often, by the time I'm finished with it, it's nothing like how it began, and the feel is often totally different from when it began its gestation.

The biggest problem for me would be that what sounds one way to me, too often sounds very different to others.

I very well might have a grand ole time spouting my musical expression, all the while pissing everyone off around me. Guess what I'm saying is, I feel as handicapped communicating musically as by any other means.

I envy the musically fluent, who can.

Thanks. :)

I just want to live in a musical, so I could burst into song randomly and no one would think it was weird.

Yikes! Are you my reincarnated mother?! 8O

That's too funny! No wonder it's so hard for me to identify with this aspect of you! :lol:
