Oh, yes, michmar118.  Just got back from karaoke night. I don't sing in front of the mike, but it was such fun watching and listening to the singers.  I sang right along with the songs I knew and it was just a huge room with people appreciating each other and music.  Two friends DID sing, guys who have been involved in music for over 30 years. It is part of their lives and so obvious their joy. Music is on in my car NONSTOP. It is on at work before the lights and open sign are on.  I play the piano and hyperventilate trying to play the harmonica :D
Music doesn't make my problems less pesky, or anything wrong suddenly right. But it is a great mood elevator, and truly does soothe my savage-ness.    
Shootah is right....music is like frosting....and I love the frosting!   

I can't imagine life without music,  I think it is a gift from heaven for us.

If today was a cake, music would be its frosting.

It elevates my mood instantly and makes me more creative.I love music.

It depends on what's happening around me, I love music while I'm driving and at home when I'm working around the house, but I detest it at work, probably because it's always the same tired old songs

I have been told that good music comes from all the souls that God has made.

I am a large music fan... We sing in this house all day long.  My son just loves to sing.  He really rocks out to the the Rolling Stones. It is very cute.

I am not sure if it soothes the savage beast in this house but it certainly keeps us going.

A born singer my nickname was La-La as these were my first "words"!!La-la-la-tee-da!!

when I'm restless in bed, music really calms me down. And it calms down my cats when they are meowing and I don't know what they want. It calmed down my cousin's twin babies when they were here ---when they were one yr. old and crying at bedtime.

I always wished that my life had music like a film- running in the background.  Show up for work- theme song from Jaws (UT-OH gonna be a rough day "should I leave now???)...Show up at a Party and before I get there the music will tell me who will be there and what it will be like).  Take a walk in the woods and chaotic music mixed with the theme song from 'Criminal Minds" time to beat-feet it out of there quick.  Walking through life with Musicals, Classical, Rock, Rap, Jazz, TV music...It would be neat- and you might be able to avoid some BAD situations and ENJOY some places and people that you might not otherwise go or meet.    As for calming the beast...maybe.  My auditory senses are keen- I can't fall asleep to any kind of sound except the sound of breathing or purring.  Purring will put me to sleep.

Music is a wonderfull, powerful art. It does influence one's mood and life in either way - good or bad. I love music and its sounds... 

music makes me feel better. Very good artistic expresssion of life.

Music is the Third love of my "Life .First two my "Wife and my "Son.I sing all the time at home doing house work .Love singing at party's with love ones .Music is to me the "Essence of life.It brings happiness to many people ,takes all the unhappiness away for a while.   

It depends-- I am a professional musician, sometimes learning a piece can be nerve wrecking -  Performing can also be nerve wrecking as it is a job like any other job with pressures.  However, sometimes I like to play for myself then it has its soothing elements.  There was a study a few years ago- The Mozart Babies' where pregnant women were instructed to listen to classical music every day during their pregnancy to confirm any effect on the child's learning abilities after birth. It was surmised that children brought into the world listening to classical music would learn faster.. Several years had passed before this was proven not to be true..       

I would be an empty soul-less shell of a being without music...it lifts me from dark places...it helps me create...the love of it is infectious...it heals the sourest moment or person...even just tripping around a garden whistling is freedom of expression!!Without music?...I swear I wouldn't have come to this planet!!!

yeah i think u have a point ,but it may vary with the type of music
