When I am in a car,I listen to it much more then when I am at home.At home the television is usually on or I am reading.If I am reading,the words in the songs interfere.I sometimes just put on ocean sounds.If,I am cleaning then usually I put music with words on.That energizes me. How often do you listen to music?

I listen to classical music without words while I am mylotting a lot of times dfollin. have not seenyou recently but then I am so behind in responding to my friends emaikl notifications too. Classical music helps me to think. music with words I love when I am not mylotting and just want to relax.I like the Beatles and some rock, not hard,hate heavy metal, love the blues and jazz too.

I don't listen to music as much as I did before. I guess I just learned to appreciate the sounds around me. I am fortunate enough to be living in the city but my residence is full of trees and I like to listen to the birds chirping. The silence soothes me after a days work and I think that my mind doesn't need anything more. Don't get me wrong, I do listen to songs. But I guess my ears just can't take too much of it anymore, now that I am older. Neither am I fond of earphones, iPods, and stuff, never have I been. I like music from a very good speaker since I have always had sensitive ears - I guess playing classical piano gives you that eat. Anyway, most of the times, I just listen to nature while working, I like working most especially if it's raining and the weather is just cool and breezy. I don't mind people talking as long as they're not shouting with each other. Have a great MyLot experience today!

I listen to music every evening, after I get back home from work. That is my way of relaxation and getting rid of the stresses of the day. I have a collection of CDs of classical music, Chopin, Mozart, Johan Strauss, Beethoven, Brahms, and more. I also listen to classical music of other countries and cultures. They are very enchanting.

I think everyday I listen to music with my cellphone. I just love to hear music especially those songs that are beautiful and meaningful. I love those Christian songs and love songs. Love songs can really capture our feeling especially if we are in love hehe. I think I am a music lover and I have been listening to music everyday just as long as I am not tired. If I am stressed and tired, I just don't want to hear music as it causes me some headache sometimes. Happy mylotting!

I listen to music just about every day, mostly at home on my laptop. Of course I do listen to music in the car as well, or even out of the house on my BlackBerry when I need to just relax and unwind.

During working hours in the office I always listen to music. It helps me relax and do my paper works smoothly. But.... take note it depends upon the music, and slow music and love song is a big help.

Every day more or less, it's difficult to say 100% precisely. Bit it tends to be part of my daily routine, although I don't listen to it in the same way I used to when I was younger, which was almost ritualistically...perhaps because it was less easy to come by: you saved up and bought a record or cassette; and it meant so much to you: you'd play it so loud so the whole family could share the ecstasy; and you'd play the same record over and over till you were sick of it. I was obsessed by music. I still love music very passionately, but on the internet, there is so much to watch or listen to that there are time where once I would listen to music, now I'll listen to a documentary on You Tube or somewhere: so often a music documentary (smile). Music is still a massive part of my existence.

I think it would be safe to say that I listen to music pretty near to every second of every day not counting sleeping hours (and I still have a great number of verses playing in my head even then!) I am a dancer, as I have said numerous times on this site before, so music is literally a part of my profession. I also play piano and guitar as well and am trying to come up with original scores for my productions. That alone takes up a good number of hours in my day! I also usually have music on while I am doing every other task such as keeping up the house or the administrative work for my dance company. I also play any song that has been stuck in my head for more than a few minutes and am constantly scouring various places to discover new music (I prefer non-mainstream over mainstream). It's not unusual for me to discover a new artist or song on a daily basis. I don't think I could live without my music!

We listen daily. Our family even has Youtube parties. These are a lot of fun! Everyone always has some song picked out. We even do pick an era. 70's disco night was a blast. Cleaning while listening to music seems to make the chores go more quickly. Happy listening to you!

I listen to the music whenever I have to travel by bus. I use my phone for storing and playing songs on the go. I also listen to the music every evening, while surfing the net or playing games.

I listen to music everyday particularly before sleeping--well, until I find myself asleep. Hehe. It relieves stress and clears my mind. So, it's really a great way to relax and sleep while listening to music.

Hi dfollin! I listen to music almost all the time. My ears can have their breaks only during work because of our company policy that prohibits us from bringing any kind of gadgets on our working place. :) I love music. I play DJ sets and viollin. I enjoy the modern classic kinda like a techno-classic genre. :D

Most of my day is all about music! Music is therapeutic they say. I found it heavy validated with experience. Every morning before I get out of my room I will turn my PC on and play some meditation music. It's all in instrumental and kinda make your mind at peace and then I'm ready to go. It doesn't matter what music genre are you in, long as you enjoy them. Classic or modern, they are made our soul :)

I only listen to music a few times per week. I just do not think of it or have the time to listen to it more than that.

Everyday! I cannot live without music and my little ipod! When I don my headphones I enter that state of total forgetfulness and just listen to the music and it takes me somewhere I cannot explain! I too like sounds of the ocean and I wish I was living by the sea as that would be very relaxing. I like meditation music and that sometimes involves sounds of the ocean and rain and perhaps the singing of dolphins and whales. I think when you are carrying out a task music makes that task much more easier to handle. I think chores are very boring but that's just me but if I listen to some of my favourite music whilst carrying out that chore then it is that much easier. As well as listening to my favourite music the television comes second on my list although that's for another discussion! Andrew

I always listen to the music especially when I am just at home while doing some task.I love music in any genre.Music really uplift my mood especially on the dull days in my life.Music is really a great therapy for us people who are depressed and just nothing have to do in life.Most of the time we relate the music based on our experiences in life.Music sometimes help us to motivate to do some task or household chores and could help stimulate our mind too.

I listen to music everyday of my life! I don't know what I'd do without it. When I'm in the car I always have the radio on because it's just awkward (with people in it) without out it on. Whenever I'm trying to get something done, there's always music in the background. Sometimes I'll fall asleep to music, sometimes I can't, depending on the genre I'm listening to. But music, .

I listen to music every single morning to help me get up - its the only thing that's able to get me out of bed with a smile on my face!! And of course a car journey feels empty without music.. If I'm studying, then I usually listen to classical music or even trance music that doesn't have words. So really I tend to listen to music many times a day!!
