music Can you live without music?

[Haruhi-chan 486]

This is not a debate on people's opinions on this. It is a simple question asking whether or not you can live without music.

 

I can, but I can only do it at a certain extent. The thing is that my visual kei helps my anxiety and can calm me down in a lot of situations. I really don't know what I was doing without it. For some reason, I feel like it can settle my emotions and make me more aware of my surroundings all at the same time.

 

So, what about you?

[Hovershy 3,815]

Absolutely not! I think I would go crazy without music. I listen to it almost all day. 

 

There's no doubt that the world would be very different without music. 

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

Depends. What do you categorize as music? Humming? Birdsong? Rain? Not very intricate, but types of music nonetheless. I could live without the music we have on the radio, but I couldn't without the others I've mentioned.

[Aura 120]

Music sometimes helps me concentrate on my work, but often I find myself skipping too much music to be productive.  I can live without music, but I am rather glad to have music.

Do-don't even speak of a world without music.. Ju-just don't..

Nope, it is my escape. Different genres for different moods, really does help when i want to get away from everything.

No, I wouldn't.

 

Music is too much a part of my life and my identity, so it would be like removing a part of myself, basically.

[#1FluttershyFan 206]

Yes, physically, I can live without music but if I knew it existed and it was removed (somehow) I would loose my mind. If it never existed, I wouldn't know what I was missing but I love music and a world without music isn't a world I want to live in.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Nope. My brain will feel dry and the world would feel dead to me. I hear music in public and inside of myself.

[Pastel 7,630]

Ugh...I'll still be able to live of course, but life would be much sadder...

[MLG4Ever 876]

NO! If music did not exist then I would probably have suicidal thoughts more often! (if I have fallen into depression)

[speedyblupi 76]

I could've last year, but now I've found a load of music I really like: Brony music!

[Gernia 691]

No way. I need something to hear during the day. It takes me out of reality for a bit and breaks up a boring day. What I'm essentially saying is that it is an escape, like video games, and if it were to go away, then that would be bad.

[The real PON-3 71]

nope. i had a mental break down when my phone broke so i couldn`t listen to music, I then when`t into depression, then i got a new phone and all was good after that because i could listen to my music again.

[Aulakauss 12]

If you just mean manmade? Probably, but it wouldn't be pleasant. However, if someone were to take all the tune and rhythm out of the universe somehow? No.

[Adorkable 2,737]

Well yeah, technically all you really need to live is food, water, and air. But I'm not going to be a stick in the mud, haha. I wouldn't want to live without music, if that's what you're asking. I listen to it every day, and for a lot of people, it's a good way to handle your emotions. I know lots of people are really emotionally attached to their music, and for some songs, I can completely relate.

[Light Diamond 950]

I could still live without music, but it would be very boring and sad for me otherwise. Like most people here i listen to some music regularly.

[Vae Victis 742]

Music is a good way to pass the time. Music is also used in various medias, such as movies, to foreshadow or give significance to a certain event or part in the movie. While existence without music is certainly possible, I'd rather have it. Nature is nice, but music is a creative spark of which shouldn't be extinguished. Music defines moments, history, etc.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,803]

Probably not. Music serves so many important functions for me. Relaxation, motivation, it helps my creativity flow, and it very often helps me if my mood is down, which sadly happens a lot.

 

So without music, life would be a lot more sad for me I think.

[JonasDarkmane 19,788]

I don't think so. It would be really grey without any music (voices of people also count as music in my opinion, so I would definitely not be able to live without music). 

[yeet 2,027]

Ha no. I need music or else i'd die.

[Omar 692]

I probably could live without music (since I don't even listen to music that much), but it would be very different with no music.

[Twilight_Sparkle32 3]

I could never live without music. I've always got some playing in the background when I'm at home, and the radio plays at work

[Fire Bon 22]

Living in a world without music would be a desolate world I would not like to live in!
