I've expressed, more or less the exact sentiments on many occasions. Great music retunes the inner oscillator, if you know what I mean. Physiologically, I'm sure it leads to endorphin release, sometimes very intensely! Endorphins are your own, personal opiates, and we know how addictive they can be.
Love is certainly but is music...?
Am I the only one or do any of you out there suffer withdrawal from not enough music. Is music a DRUG that without a regular fix your body (mind) begins to suffer and exhibit symptoms of withdrawal?? If I go for days without music (in the sweet spot) I can get irritable and little things which I usually don't let bother me become more of a problem than they should be. I am a facilities manager and deal with a lot of stressful situations and I do it well (IMHO), setting my clients at ease with the best possible solutions. No music and I begin to share their stress. Do I need a Twelve Step Program?????
