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 do.

    I find that I have always accumulated an unidentifiable slurry of affect from just taking things in - detail of everyday life, world events, observations of absurdity. Singing - especially the focus of creating new words and melodies without a script and in reaction to the live instrumentation within a practice or recording session - is where I take inexplicable, wordless experiences that have hurt or embittered me to become sound that, in theory, hurts no-one.

    As others have said, my tastes have changed, I appreciate pop melody, yet authentic expressions of emotion directly, as a character, within a story, in the immediate, one-take opportunity is magical and makes me feel alive and constructive in a difficult world.
