What is it about music?

I see on here and in real life that many (maybe most) people are almost addicted to music, and while I have some favorites, I listen to music maybe a couple of times a month. Even then it's only in the car.

So, for you that can't live without music, what's the deal?

I think this sometimes too! When I was young, I was never without it, but the older I get, the looser my grasp. I still find pleasure in it, still feel it improves many situations, I’m still moved by it, but I no longer just want the sound of it in general and use it more judiciously. It’s beautiful. It’s art. But most of the time I’m so content with the quiet that I just don’t think to turn it on.
