What would your life be like without music?

View all responses

I can’t stand silence. Each moment of my life requires annotation via a soundtrack. From the moments I’m focusing on work, to the moments I spend running, I need music. Without it, I don’t think I could handle the huge void of silence. My runs would definitely be harder, but maybe I’d get used to it just like I get used to the silence when I’m out in nature. However, the silence at home is different than the silence in the woods. But most the time I am not in the woods. I’m at home with the constant drone of random urban sounds and my incessant thoughts. Music helps quiet my mind and sort out my life. Without it, I bet the silence would consume me entirely.
