A lot of people think I'm a bit of a strange duck because of the way I react to music. Music moves me... my life revolves around music and dancing (though I'm a lowly restaurant manager). Music picks me up when I'm feeling blue and a good song will send me into a whirling dervish, right there in the middle of work. My employees have come to expect it; even my customers knows that when a good song comes on, I'm daning all around and singing along with the words (though I couldn't carry a tune if it had handles, heh). Have you ever seen that American Express commercial where Ellen DeGeneres is dancing to the music and by the end, everyone else is dancing right along with her? That's me. Am I the only one around here? Does music move you as it does me??

same here, i love music! it is my great passion...from classic to hard rock, it always grooves me and makes me move...+ im aware of the timing and beat. even if im inside my car, i always tap my wheels...sometimes i unaware of surroundings and situation, but thru moves and dancing, i can express myself and release stress, so it helps! [jayrulezzz]
I am the same way! If I hear a good song. I gotta dance or sing. I dont care where I am at or who is watching. I sing with the overhead music in stores I hum along to hold music on the phone I dance around the house while cleaning. Music is life Without it I would go nuts [zukepr]
Music moves me on an emotional and spiritual level that nothing else on earth can touch. I may not dance, but I have been moved to the point of tears, laughter, or simply a deep feeling of peace by listening to music. There have been times when I heard a piece of music that expressed exactly what I was feeling deep down inside but couldn't express myself. I've also had certain pieces of music that have somehow touched deep hurts and healed them. Sometimes, music is the only language my soul understands. [thyst07]
Thanks for the recognition. [thyst07]
Music means a lot to me and i can't live without it. If sombody leave me in a room where no music is there than i am sure that i'll die within two to three days. I am really crazy about music specially late 80's music and i like their dressings etc. Some people think that am crazy as i realy get carried away by music and does crazy things like climbing the stages etc during concerts or shows. Music is like the air we breath to me [healer]
music moves everyone any shape or form music comes from the soul that is why it moves so many people of different origins and nationalities. it moves all of us in different ways, even if it is good or bad it plays in are minds at the time [DARKANGELKORN]
Music moves me, too. I'm such a painfully shy person, but I still have a really hard time not singing along (quietly) to myself if I hear a good song when I'm out in the public. Or at least humming to myself. Heck, if I weren't so shy, I might be just like you, dancing around! That would be awesome! ^_^ [shywolf]
Music most certainly does move me! It just has this way of engulfing my body and forcing me to dance and move, almost like it's taking me with it. Sort of like an out-of-body experience in a way. [skydancer]
yes if i am listening to the Three Weird Sisters!!!They do move me!!!LOL they are very good group to listen!!! [jdw1971witch]
Same here! Music is a HUGE part of my life, and helps me get through many things. [valerieanne]
I feel the same way about music, I think theres a song for just about any mood I could possible be in. I get joked with all the time that he knows when I'm mad cause I switch music styles, I play country when I'm in a normal mood, Jazz when I want to relax, Classical when I'm studying, R&B when I'm feeling in the mood, Metal/Alternitive when I'm really pissed off, and EMO when I'm sad and depressed. The songs that I play also say alot about what I'm feeling and thinking. If I switch to mostly girl groups he's done something stupid and I'm trying to hint that I think he's being a jerk. Music is the key to my very soul :) [driekons_angel]
I wouldn't be as extroverted when a favourite tune is playing,but I do tend to sing along! :) I'm also in catering,and like to have a radio on during downtime at the end of a shift. [ShepherdSpy]
I know exactly how you feel...I always imagine if I had to chose between watching TV or listening to music, I'd chose the music. If I had to chose between owning a TV set, or owning a stereo, I'd pick the stereo. Sometimes I have to be careful what music I listen to, for it will set my mood. Like if I listen to music from the 60's, I'll get all nostalgic. Or if I listen to love songs, I get all mushy and start remembering past loves; or if I listen to, say, celtic music, it makes me feel happy; or if I listen to Blues music, I feel like I'm not alone when I have the blues; or Native American music soothes me and calms my soul, and INdian classical music helps me become spiritual and think about God and all that. I've done that dancing thing, too...not in front of other people...I think that's great that you do that..I'd get up and dance with you for sure. [Makena1968]
i was brought up in world of music.it doesnt means any of my family members were exceptional music composers.no...they were just music listenin folks.i belonged to the anglican church which gives great importance to music.i was in the choir from a very young age onwards.bach,handel was the ones which i grew up with which created the platform for me to enjoy pure melodies.home,my father had good collection of pop and country music.then the indian classical .so all in all i got acquainted with so mant genres that i am of the opinion that every type of music has something of its own to enjoy.i control my character and tempers through music. [avgeorge]
Yes. I have also noticed that the more upbeat the music is, the more I feel I can do. For instance, when I'm cleaning house, I can't listen to sad country songs...puts me in a sad, reflective mood...but my upbeat sassy songs, I feel I can do anything :). [tarsadawn]
People look at me kinda funny when tell them that music is my "mind altering substance of choice." Mostly I use it to induce calm, or concentration... or to set a certain "mood" for some particular piece I need to write. Then there's a whole different set of music for when I feel reflective, or am meditating. And then, another set that goes with working out, or cleaning the house. [Denmarkguy]
Well Bascially... Depends what kinda of music it is? Kind of like when your at the gym and they put on motavational music that makes you want to get your goal of Weight Loss or muscle gain.. I can easily understand ur situation :D OR if im talking to my friends on msn and i put on one of my favorite songs i seem much happier [jessem39]
I LOVE music, although I have what my partner calls "terrible taste" LOL. I don't give a monkeys though. If I like a sogn I'll listen to it, and have been known to dance as I do housework lol. Unfortunately I have to use headphones to listen to my music right now, because I only have iTunes, and we don't have speakers for the PC right now, so no dancing for me while I do housework, unless I use the DVD player as a stereo. I've actually filled a couple of CD's with some of my favourite songs so I can listen to them on the DVD player. I spend a lot of time online though, so I figure its easier just to open iTunes and stick the headphones on. There is a tune that moves me every time I hear it. It's a track from Kill Bill Volume 1 soundtrack. It's called The Lonely Shepherd. There are no words to it, just music and it moves me to tears every time I hear it. I'm not sure why it has that effect, but it flows through me and I well up, and before you know it, I have tears rolling down my face LOL. I'm such a wuss! [retardedrugrat]
to me music is an important part of my life. I can not imagine not having music. I love all music, and each music piece brings out the deepest emotions, and feelings. It is a great stress reliever too. [crickethear]
No. you are absloutely not a strane duck coz music has the power to move our souls......... It happens to me also music creates a wave of emotion running in my mind. So, uess you are not the onl one. :) [cyclops_online2004]
yup me too, whenever I get stress I play hard music, to let the anger out or if I'm happy I go dance with cute music [andaismu]
yup. its amazing what music does to people and I don't understand others who don't have any bit of interest in it. Although i am not the kind who would dance when I hear music (i feel awkward when I dance so I'm not really into dancing in public). Music helps me with my feelings. When I am feeling down I would listen on my ipod and I'd feel better because there are those lyrics that describes what I feel and even helps me understand what I am feeling. And sometimes, when it is boring there are sounds you can listen too that entertains and cheers you up. I bond with some friends through music. And I consider my guitar and ipod my buddies because they are always with me whenever I feel alone. Weird huh? LOL [xanjvill]
Yes, it really does especially if it's an R n B song that your listening too.It moves to dance and sing and just release the stress out of me. [alchemistrx]
oh yea! music does move me...sometimes it is just what I need to come out of a crappy mood, other times it brings memories of things long forgotten...it is one thing you can get in a wide variety, so whatever your mood, there is a song to match [lovesfreedom]
music moves me too. i love music ever since my teenager life. it affects my mood and changes my mood. sometimes i am shocked that i feel so sad that i want to cry every time i hear that song. maybe it reminds me of someone or a situation i am so involve with. dancing i what i like but dancing don't like me. and singing even i had singing lessons before i still can't carry a tune. yeah i saw ellen degeneres and the way people react to her is so happy to look at. you just can't fight the feeling if you want the beat of the song. the beat makes you dance just hear it and feel it. [queenie_sum]
no doubt music is moving my life because i am very much crazy about music.... [sumanyadav]
yes it does ......I like to hear muzic n I really enjoy the thing ..wid a little bit of dance ....it do affect my dayz freshness....I feel like I 'm too active that day.... [luckythanu10]
I love music.Let the music heal your soul. http://leminhnhut.blogspot.com [heorung]
i dont believe you are the only one.a lot of people change their behavior and mood with music.it is a good way for me to relax and think clearly.lot's of times i find myself singing anywhere a song i like.i believe people should try music as a way to relax from daily work or to help change a bad mood. [hoyaspao]
ya music even moves wenever im deprssed it helps me out n im at peace wen i listen music it just rejevenates me [stutiaquarian]
LOL At home, when the kids are at school and my hubby is at work, it is all music at my house. It is nice to sing out loud and dance around while cleaning. I've always enjoyed music and it is a big part of my family history. I think everyone on my side of the family has played an instrument. My grandfather could not read music, but he could play any instrument he picked up. I find myself swaying or humming to music I hear at work (restaraunt also!) or in the stores, but I refrain from bursting out in song or dance. LOL I don't think the public is ready for that! I'm trying to teach my children the importance of music, and our daughter has already joined the band at school, and is doing awesome! She even went out and bought a guitar with her Christmas money because she enjoys music so much. I think music moves us because it touches so many senses. I've always felt that music is the universal language of all people. It is a language that we all can understand and enjoy. [gypsylady28]
Yes, I love music and could listen to it all day. Music is something that I do not get enough of and I like almost all music except opera! Music is great and keep on enjoying it! [kimlot]
oh yes music moves me too i am surprised at what you are telling that people think you're a bit strange at how you react to music for me music is a very big part of life it helps me in almost every situation wen i am lonely,sad,depressed,happy and so on i dance strange according to my friends but i do not care it makes me happy and i feel the music inside of me it does not matter what people think and how they see you it only matters how you feel and enjoy life as long as you don't hurt anyone:) [liranlgo]
you are correct dude..music really moves us...... it has the capacity to do so.. by listening to the music of your own.....one cna really forget the sad and bitter things.....it reallly mesmerises people... [d4deepaksurya]
Music can improve my mood if I hear a song I like, unexpected. But more for me it brings me back to special times, if I hear an old song that I used to listen to. [Randync]
yaa some music only not all. [theredlion_17]
really? What kind of music moves you? What kind of music dont you like? When do you usually listen to music? Please tell us more [zukepr]
I love to listen music.I am very much fond of singing also,in my home every time iuse to sing bhajans,gazals,peoms and filmy songs.Even i like hindi classical music.I work very fast when there is a music coming out from somewere.i have many cds of different artists like lata mangeshker,asha bhosle,kishor kumar,rafi,mahendra kapoor,kumar sanu,alka yagnik,udit narayan,anuradha podwal,jagjit singh,gulam ali.I have a big collection of Music Albums of other artists. [kmdvmd]
i realy love music it refeshes me it realy moves me .it also inspires me ,and most importantly if it's fast beat then it twists me dosen't matter where i m i start dancing and zooming myself . i forget all my problems when i listen a fast beat song . i love soft music when i m sad music really ROCKS me [wez8301]
yes of course its the music only which refreshes mt mind and rejuvenate me.. its my obby to listen music of all kinds depending upon the mood and situation and rock ones makes me move.. [re2809]
Me too, when I am at work I do the same thing! People must think I am strange dancing and singing in the work Kitchen. Don't you find that sometimes you don't even realise that your singing along with the music until someone tells you that you are. I also find that if I am stressed I listen to music and it helps me relax. It can bring back great memories if you hear a song from the past, thats a lovely feeling. It reminds me of the place, people and even smells that I experienced at the time. [Tiggy1]
Yeah. Music moves me.. There are different kind of music.. music can groove you, it can also affect your emotions or how the way you live your life. I love to sing and i love music, everyone knows that. I am proud of it.. everywhere i go i sing.. i dont care what people say about me but i love to sing. I also have a choir and i use my talen for God. [Mishi_Bente_Tres]
yes. i love music now. i say now because before i am not a music lover. little by little i became one. and now i love music so much because my best friend is so music minded. she is a singer and we sing together most of the time during our free time. music relaxes me and gives me that instant lift and joy. [cuddleme01]
I really love listening to music. It helps my moods to lighten up especially when I'm down and so depressed. I can't really get rid of music because I feel so bored so everytime I got chance to listen to music I already try like listening to a radio before sleeping and when I woke up in the morning. I'm actually saving up to buy an mp3 player so I could just listen to music everywhere. [rzr247]
Music moves me too. Isnt music the "food for the soul"? I think music affects everyone. Soft music relaxes our mind, some music brings us to the past and it makes one happy. Music helps us forget our worries. Just looking at people dancing to the bit of the salsa, makes us enjoy. [bakumatsu151]
LOL "I couldnt carry a tune if it had handles" omg thats bloody well hilarious!! I'm the same way btw....not just with the not able to carry a tune but music moves me as well...I've been that way since I was very young actually...I could live without most things but music is NOT one of them...its helped me through some really rough times, its lifted my spirits, helped me make decisions, motviated me and the list goes on....I'm a huge music lover from way back LOL [Ravenladyj]
lol your not the one dude.. music is my life.. it moves me and changes my behaviour all the time.. i have learned many things and many thoughts through music.. I like Reggea specially the songs of bob.. It makes me feel relax.. I sing but only on private places, Specially when im all alone.. [natassidog]
Depends what kind of music is and in what spirit i'm. But yes some musics do that to me. [Vankis]
I find myself doing that even in a crowd. There are certain songs that evoke me to sing or even dance. I start out with a tap of the foot or clap of the hands and before i know it i'm dancing. It embarrasses my son sometimes but he does it too. [lvap0628]
music is almost everything. because it is in touch with our emotions and whatever our feelings are, music somehow is one of the aid that keeps us going with life. music is our refuge. [totallyundecided]
Music definately moves me quite a bit. I've always loved it since early in life. Thre's certain muic that can lift my ood when I'm a little depressed and there's actually some music that is so beautiful to me that when I hear it I can actually get a little misty eyed. [dfinster]
