Does music save your life and why?

Does music save your life and why?

No, it condemns it to the point where I think of keeling over and dying

well thats like saying can art save your life
or can tv save your life.

I think it can only save your life if your contemplating suicide and you hear a song that makes you change your mind and realise how precious life is or something.

but really...some people may LOVE music. but its not that powerful.

I guess it depends on the person.

Yeah. Things might go wrong and I might feel like committing suicide ( though I have never thought of something of that nature ), there are some particular music that you might hear that will calm you down.

Well it really depends. Songs that have meaning behind it about life does give a the listener a better perspective and becoming more optimistic. It also can help you bring out anger/sadness/happiness. Music can also help match your mood as well.

For instance; I love listening to Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Pantera. The beat, lyrics and distortion from guitars makes me really happy and energetic.
If I'm sad; I'd listen to some pop music.

It all really depends on an individual. Plenty of fans say listening to MCR saves their lives. While I appreciate their music and everything...it doesnt save my life. However, songs like 'Cancer' is very inspirational and beautiful.
