Question of the week #3

[jenett]

Today's question brought to you by getting to see S.J. Tucker in concert last night :)

Question of the week:
What inspires you to make more music? This might be things that make you want to sing, or it might be musicians whose performances sort things out in your own head so you can get more music flowing, or it might be some experience, event, book, movie, or something else that makes you want to make music. Discuss any and all in this week's thread!

I would say that almost everything in life... relationships, spiritual matters, significant events, etc... lead me to back to music. There is basically nothing that occurs on a daily basis that doesn't at least make me think of a song or a music experience which I have had. The only time that I feel that I am truly in my "element" is when I am performing- singing, conducting, playing piano- or simply hearing great music. It's my ultimate "escape". My high, so to speak. :)

Hi! Mind if I join this community?

Welcome! And please do join us here...

I definitely am inclined to agree with you (though I'll post my own comment on this sometime soon...)

Personally I'm not much of a composer or a lyricist (sometimes, perhaps, but not often) or even a conductor (oh heck no), but my life practically revolves around music, and everything and anything can lead me back to it, from a word to someone's laughter to...well, I suppose you get the point.

Specific things would be hearing awesome songs, a particularly emotional thing happening (like a break up or falling in love or something), and just basically the joy of having something that will never leave you there.

XDDD I am probably not making sense here, but anyways~

Makes plenty of sense to me! (And welcome to the community!)
