Lifeless without music

So, I think I feel the need for some serious subject matter ~ Don't worry, it wont last!

But, for now, think about this... Would you rather be deaf or blind?
You can take a minute to weigh up the options, but for me the answer is instant, Blind! There are a million beautiful sights I would miss, massively, I would miss the faces of the people I love, the ocean, the way everything looks in the fall, But i could cope.

A life without music though? Fuck no! I'd rather die!!!
I think people forget the importance of music in general, but there are people who have said to me ''This song saved my life'' and they meant it!
That pretty powerful stuff, nothing more than a few words, some instruments, a few notes ~ but add them together and they can reflect a lifetime of feelings that people connect to, people who struggle to connect to anything or anyone, they can all connect to a song for a reason or 2.
That must be pretty amazing, for the lyricists & musicians when they realise that, Some words are personal to them, and yet they reach so many others.

You ever had a song reduce you tears for no apparent reason? Or for a reason that's to painful to talk of? I have! I know what song I wanna hear when I die... (Walk, Pantera! hell of a tune to fade away too), I know what I want them to play at my funeral and Damnit!!! I want entrance music! (you hear them ominous keystrokes in jaws, you know that bad mother of a shark is coming.. kids know it, even over 30 years on!!) who doesn't, really!
I would love to have musical ability and I have every respect for the people who lend their life to music, I genuinely believe that the world without music would be a dull and lifeless place, full of people who felt repressed and unable to express their feelings ~ either through their own music or that of others!
These people are heroes in their own way, they will never understand how much what they do affects the lives of others, makes a difference. They will never know when something they wrote saves the life of someone they will never see, they will probably never know how important they are, or what they do is!

Enough said, simply put.. I would rather die, than live without music!  Now I'm gonna go find some tunes that are gonna motivate my ass to get up and do what I need to do for the day, Anyone in the mood for some Slayer or some Slipknot????
