what makes you listen to music?

Sometimes when I am doing any manual work I listen just to the music alone.. I don't notice the lyrics that time.. It helps to keep thoughts away from the repetitive nature of the job.. Other times I pay attention to the words and sing along..

i prefer to listen to musics when i feel alone and when i clean my house, sometimes i listen them just for fun, or sometimes if i hear the music is cool i like to listen it, actually i don like to sing a song, and am not interested to the words!

I listen to music for the lyrics and the tune from the guitars and drums etc... And of course the energy that a song can make you feel while it is playing.

when i'm both in joy and sorrow, i always like to listen to music.i will choose the song the beat is more violent, it make me excited. when i'm in sorrow, i will choose the classical music,it make me calm down.i prefer to listen to the song the sounds is so nice and no matter what is the genre. i also notice the song word is good.

Music is a way of expression of feelings. both for the composer and for the listener. Sometimes the words do it, sometimes the background music does it. I always listen to the lyrics, cos they are the ones that usually express the thoughts of the one who is singing the song. esp rock and rock n roll, but I listen to Hip-Hop and Pop when I'm feeling happy and shake a leg with the beat.
