I want a better life! Do you? If so, what does music do for your soul?

The sentence above is not a question meant to be answered but more a remark of mine. I would love to see entries that show what music means, written from the soul, without the Q&A posts. Without makes your post so much better.

I know how I always studied in the middle of the night with music loud today I live in silence which is already loud enough. I think it helped me back then and wasn't disturbing which it would be today if I read or write (most likely because if will be focused on the music or lyrics).
I asked my child why she studies playing music and she said it's to shut out other noises. I never thought that could be a reason too. It makes sense although I believe music with a certain rhythm makes me thing, read, and write with the cadence

Thank you for your entry.
