Music feeds my inner beast. It speaks to me. It is such an excellent escape. It moves me - most of the time to dance, but in other ways too.
One curious thing: I can't always write while listening to music, it's too distracting. Sometimes, if I'm in the right frame of mind, I can have it on in the background, and at other times it helps to drown out the background noise and makes me focus, but for the most part, I have to separate the activities. EITHER I listen to music and let my mind flow, OR I write and let my mind flow. I think that's weird.
