music does a lot for me.. its fun to listen to most of the time, good for enhancing current emotions, changing moods.. ete etc.. very powerful tool..

the best thing that music does for me though is it helps my memory. i cant remember a lot of things about when i was younger, but whenever i hear certain songs i get a rush of emotions and thoughts from certain time periods... it's like when you smell that smell thats rare and it makes you remember something, but you're not really sure what... well music does that for me, except i can easily trigger music; it's not so easy to trigger scents.

id say my music collection mostly consists of just a few groups ive collected over the years.. only certain ones of them really stand out, but man.. i can retrace my steps all the way back from jr high just listening to music.

music isn't always all that emotionally provoking for me when im just listening to words, but takes me on this mental flight that i jus cant get any other way.
