can you imagine the life without music

it depends.. some people (myself included) find music an essential part of life. Music is a perfect mixture of mathematics and emotion. Sometimes I find myself in situations that I simply feel as though I might be doing the world a favor by jumping off a bridge, but then I listen to any good, relaxing song (such as songs by pinback :) great band) and find that I am more happy afterwords and can pull myself up and get through any problem I may be facing.
