Life Without Music

[shatter..]

Could you survive without it?

[CJM123]

no way. it would suck so much

[Desuetude]

I know I definitely couldn't. God I count on music for so much, calming me down, hobby, entertainment, everything. I don't even want to think about what I would be like without it.

[kenoloor]

I'm sure I'd find something else to be elitist and snobbish about.

[antiabort]

Yea i could live without it

[HeyMissAwesome]

definitely NO.
music is my way out of my problems.

[Princess Ariel]

No.
Music is the one thing I can not live without.
I go insane!

[MysticalBurrito]

No. It's my sanity on bad days. :|

[CrossingtheCourtyard]

I don't think I could.

[fitzman16]

impossible, i listen to iheartradio all day in school, i wud die

[Rayquaza]

No, especially not without Lady Gaga.

[christianteen]

But if life was out music, how can you say you'd like it or not? You wouldn't know what music was in the first place. This makes it impossible to make a judgement of whether or not you would or wouldn't like it. It's the same principle of describing colour to a blind person. How would you describe music to someone who was deaf and had never heard music before?

[Clawhammer]

No. To take away music is to take away the sublime in life. Wouldn't be much of a life to live without it. For me, anyway. Music has been my one companion when I most needed it. Music can understand what is inside. Music affects people, changes them, makes them feel. Without it, I could be brought no lower.

Could you survive without it?


No

I could not.

[Mortal Coil]

Nope. Without music I would probably commit suicide, for real. It's the only thing that keeps me going sometimes, although admittedly a world without the likes of Rebecca Black and that Justin kid might be better.

Put completely perfectly. By the way, I like your sig :)

I love music, but let's be honest, we could all survive without it. And I agree with christianteen up there.

This post is completely stupid. One; you're saying a blind person can't describe or think of any colors, simply because they're blind. Blind people CAN see in their dreams on occasions - not all, but some. Although you can't see it doesn't mean you can't perceive it in a certain way, which is what most do. Source. (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/16/health/16real.html) You should also take in context someone like Beethoven who couldn't hear and had tinnitus, but had the ability to create something like this -

You also have the award winning percussionist Evelyn Glennie who is deaf.

Dean Shibata, MD, found that deaf people are able to sense vibrations in the same part of the brain that others use for hearing. Shibata was at the University of Rochester School of Medicine in New York at the time of the study.

He studied 10 students with profound hearing loss from birth and compared them to 11 hearing people. Each person was asked to tell the researchers when they were able to detect a vibrating pipe in their hand. At the same time, brain scans were done to pick up signals being transmitted to the brain.

Shibata found that when the deaf people felt the vibrations, areas in the brain that are usually responsible for hearing showed activity.

Shibata presented his findings at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America this week.

"These findings suggest that the experience deaf people have when 'feeling' music is similar to the experience other people have when hearing music," said Shibata in a news release.

"The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain," he says.

You should also try to research zoomusicology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoomusicology).

And no, I would not survive without the sounds that I love. Without them, I'd kill myself. They're the only thing keeping me 'stable'.

[Peace God]

I love music, but let's be honest, we could all survive without it.
Some of us can barely survive with it. And a lot of us find music as the most important thing in our lives. Soo...uhhh, no.

[northskater110]

nah, life would suck without music.

[Sonic Boom]

Survive? Yes, but I'd go completely insane without it.

[kenoloor]

Well, I'm actually going to respond seriously: no, I would not survive. Music is why I'm still alive, and music is the reason I continue to live. If that were to be taken from me, I would kill myself.

[Genghis Khan]

Honestly, I'd be alive. Music is pleasurable, decent, appropriate, awesome. But I don't understand how it's completely necessary. Sometimes I like complete silence.

[Wicked_Syn]

Being rational here, yeah I could, but after a while, life would just feel like, well.... hmm...

BLEHHH

[anonymous53]

Without music I'd have been dead long ago. So no.

Music is a natural part of life. The melody of the rain, crickets chirping, the wind whistling. All put together create lovely sounds. So, music will always be here and always has.

It's not essential, like water or air or something along those lines, those are the ones that keep us alive. I know I'm being over rational, but whatever. Music makes life more bearable, that's what I think, but we could live without it, especially if we never knew it existed.

[Can'tHelpIt]

hell to the fucking no!!!!!!!

[Peace God]

Well of course it's not essential to survival. :P That still doesn't mean it has no potential to keep people alive.

[Craig1995]

No music = life. Is. Over.

[letluvbleedred]

survive yea. My sanity level would be questionable most definitely. I wouldnt be me without my music either.

[Djentleman]

Music is my therapist. Without it, God only knows what I'd have done/do instead. The little sanity I have remaining has been kept due to music.

[Electra Heart]

Fuck no

[Bubby32123]

That would be bad I'm in band at school (I play tuba:-) ) I could never live without music

[Sugaree]

I have plenty of other distractions to keep myself occupied. Music is simply a small piece in a large puzzle. If there was no music, I'd survive.

[Fushigi]

hmmm music is part of my everyday life ;) but i can survive without it..

[Fourth Dimension]

I would die

[Love.Hate]

No, i need music to inspire me and keep my mind busy

[Stacey.]

I could survive without it obviously, but I'm so happy that we do have music :wub:

[Kcorb]

think about it...

remove all the music from life..

this includes birds, crickets, wind, rivers, waterfalls, the tide......Everything!

everything is music in it own right...were those things not to be... i do not believe the world would be worth saving.

[Hatsune Miku]

As long as I have foods and fluids I think I'll do pretty damn well.

Birds chirp to communicate, along with crickets.
The wind doesn't make music, it's wind.
Rivers, waterfalls, and the tide are water.

I don't even know what to say to this.

[ImCoolBeans]

I'm having an anxiety attack thinking about it.

No, he's right. Music isn't always intentional, it exists without us.

With that, I can agree.

[Professional Russian]

ohmygodiwouldfuckingdiesomeonekillmenow

So yeah i wouldnt survive id commit suicide first

[shatter..]

I expected this response; that the majority couldn't survive without it.

[DanielD210]

No way! Music is apart of life! without it the world would be too quiet and plain! =)

[Breakeven]

nope it would be a boring life!

[Aves]

Maybe if there was never music, I'd be able to survive. But no, most of the day I listen to music. Hell, a song made me stop and think "What the fuck am I doing?" when I was about to commit suicide. So, no. At this point in time, I would be dead.

[shaneisbomb15]

shane-music=R.I.P.

[Archimedes]

I just can't live without it D:

[InfinantSilence]

Music. The answer to my life. I depend on it to get me through my day. If i had no music i would survive just like the rest of us would, but i would be a different person. I wouldn't have a way to block out all the noise that confuses me. And all the haters. So yes i could survive without music. But no, i don't want to even think about what my life would be without it.

[TheultimatesmilyXD]

no full stop

[itsjustme9000]

i would deffinatly not survive without music if music didn't exsist neither would i

[Jet.]

Life would be a very boring place, in every aspect, without any form of music.

[BrassMonkey]

I doubt it, because I always have music playing in my head,lol.

[vitorioso]

A life without violins, violas, cellos, bases, viola de gambas, lutes, vielles, rebecs, pianos, lyres, and harpsichords? Probably would be simply unbearable for humans, along with the fact that if music didn't exist many aspects of life wouldn't exist, as people view many different things as music.

[OregonStateDude]

Nope, it's not going to happen. I can't even go for more than two days without listening to some rock or pop music.

[this_kids_a_DJ]

Without music, there is no life. Considering, nearly every sound you hear is considered music. (As long as you hear a 2 or more tones after each other, no matter that is creating those sounds, you have just heard music)

[this_kids_a_DJ]

As long as I have foods and fluids I think I'll do pretty damn well.

That is still considered music! Just because it is not intended to be music, doesn't mean it isn't.

[Yer_Maw]

No. We couldn't survive. But we could have cake, and cake is good.

[Fractured Silhouette]

I would not last a day without my music. I rely on it too much. I f******* love music....

[marcorar]

Aw man that's hard! Totally against my background-music-to-life dream haha!
