Is music your voice?

I was hoping that perhaps there are others out there that have used music to convey their feelings/thoughts?

When I was younger I would use songs to express my feelings to girlfriends a lot when words would fail me, I would tell them to listen to a certain song. 
To express love, to say sorry etc.

Another one, I listen to certain song/songs on repeat for hours if I’m feeling strong emotions.

  • I used to, but I've stopped now, because others don't get the same feelings as I do, people listen to music differently and what they hear is different too. Some people hear the whole composition, others will concentrate on one or more instruments, others the vocals and some will listen to the lyrics. One of the other reasons I stopped doing this is because so many people seem unable to listen and have to talk over music, even when you've asked them to listen because it's important to you, I wish they'd just slap me in the face because it wouldn't feel any less of a denial of the importance of my feelings.

    Some music that I find beautiful others find really sad, either because thats what it evokes in them, or because they know it's called a requiem, so they think thats how they should feel. There's some music that others love that I find horrible to the point where I can't listen to it, or it reminds me of a painful episode in my life.
