This is my top ten list on how music has become my biggest passion! I've discovered why music is great!
If you aren't moved by music, then you're not human. Life would be boring without music!

Getting Lost in the Music
Nothing feels quite like tuning out the world and getting lost in the song you're listening to! Tell me, is there a better feeling in the world than getting lost in your music? I think not! You feel untouchable or just free!
When you listen to the lyrics of the music, you (most of the time, depending on the lyrics) feel good inside. You get lost in it, and all other things fade away. It sort of relieves you of all the stress in your life.
It's the best experience ever, and it can happen casually without you even expecting it.

Emotional Expression
What would music be for if it wasn't to make us feel beautiful emotions? Amazing list, Curtis! Please keep creating lists like this one!
Definitely. The reason why music is so wonderful is because of the emotions it generates in you!
Moby's In This World is probably the most emotional music video ever.

The Mystery Behind the Lyrics
That's exactly how I feel about music. I love trying to get into the mind of the artist and what they must have been feeling at the time of writing the song. Some lyrics are heartbreaking, and your own heart goes out to them. Beautiful list, Curti2594!
Sometimes the meaning behind the song is what helps someone love the song! What's also cool is that what a song might mean to the writer could mean something completely different to you, and that's awesome!

Singing Along
Singing is a major part of music, and sometimes there's nothing funnier than singing along, no matter how skilled you are at singing. I'm not good at singing. My voice is all over the place. But that doesn't stop me from singing in my room with the door closed! When you sing along, you feel the passion and understand the lyrics.
The video game Rock Band 4 is a great way to try and attempt to sing and see if you're able to hold notes and stuff. Or you'll figure out you can't keep a note. But never stop singing along because it's fun!
-
Memories Connected to Songs
My life revolves around memories, so music does that very well for me! I've heard that song somewhere before during the silliest moment, but I'll remember it!
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Sometimes songs can connect us and remind us of something in the past. It could be happy, sad, bad, or something else.

Supporting Your Favorite Bands
You just feel amazing when you have invested in being a superfan of whatever band you like. You've got your favorites, and you will support them no matter what and defend them until the end of time!
My most supported band is Nickelback!
-
Music Videos
When I say music videos, I don't mean every single one. Yes, I know there are some bad and corny ones out there. But music videos give us a better peek into the band themselves and help us understand what they are singing about.
Sometimes, what we think is a happy-go-lucky song doesn't seem that way after watching the music video. A perfect example is Nickelback's Too Bad. It sounds like a song meant for jumping up and down, but just wait until you watch the music video. Your thoughts will change!
Especially with Vevo, music videos are awesome!
-
Live Concerts
This may be one of the best parts of being a music fan. It's exciting when your favorite band comes to town, and you go see them and support them live! The best music experiences happen live!

Different Genres
There are so many different genres. I might start listening to music from the Middle Ages!
The different genres provide variety.

Fan Bases
Fan bases are amazing. It's really cool how into a band they are!
I prefer small and elitist fan bases who have actually listened to all the albums over the fake "elitists" who call themselves fans but can't even name one song other than the greatest hit and don't know the name of the bassist.
"I'm a huge Queen fan!"
Name three songs not on their greatest hits album.
-
Radio
The radio is what gets most people listening to music, and most of the stuff on the radio is good! It's not easy to describe why the radio means so much, but it keeps you in tune with what the world is listening to.
Also, radios keep you entertained at work, on trips, etc.
Radio, someone still loves you!
