I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary to show my inextinguishable love for music. However, there isn’t a day that doesn’t go by when I’m not listening to music on Spotify or searching for gems on YouTube. As for favorites, I like to listen to a little bit of everything – old country (i.e. Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Skeeter Davis, and Brenda Lee), lo-fi (i.e. Dum Dum Girls and Zola Jesus), classic rock (i.e. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Hollies, and The Zombies), alternative rock (i.e. Blue October), indie rock (i.e. My Morning Jacket, Motorama, and Okkervil River), blues (i.e. Howlin’ Wolf and Susan Tedeschi), folk (i.e. Marissa Nadler, Basia Bulat, Lera Lynn, and Angus & Julia Stone), 60s, 80s (i.e. The Smiths, New Order, and The Cure), and modern day musical artists with a retro sound (i.e. Lana Del Rey, The Raveonettes, and Duffy). I live and breathe music.

Music is a part of my life, but it is really big for my husband and son. They are always playing music, hardly ever without it. My son wants to be a DJ, so I guess music inspired me to buy him equipment.

Music inspired me to be more outgoing and make friends. I have a family know and am busy, I still listen to music, but when I was younger I was pretty shy, but in high school started going to a lot of concerts and made friends with a lot of people centered around types of musics and at different shows. It was fun and exposed me to many different people and cultures I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Music has always inspired me in so many ways. In everyday life it makes me a happier person and very fulfilled.
Music (good heart pounding music) makes me clean or work out faster. It also allows me to become a closet car singer LOL.

I love playing Hookie and going for a ride listing to my tunes
When I really dont feel like doing yardwork, I put my music on loud and work to the songs.
I tweeted and here is the link: https://twitter.com/yarbr012/status/531816802951917568
I love bossa nova music. it inspires me to do work around the house.
Music takes me places. I can remember having bad days or bad experiences in my life and listening to a song and feeling better almost immediately. It truly is an art form and the singers are pouring their hearts out through their voices and lyrics.

Music inspired me to cook and clean and get my Mojo on!
Music inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and make new friends when I was growing up. It all started with joining a choir and now I sing and dance with my children to help inspire their creativity and foster confidence.

Music helps make chores that I don’t look forward to, bearable. Like cleaning and doing laundry. With music playing, the jobs don’t seem as bad.
I have always been passionate about music. I was glued to the radio as a kid, watched MTV for hours on end (when they actually played music videos!) & was inspired to take years of dance lessons. I’ve gone to countless concerts & have amassed a huge music collection that’s as diverse as it gets. I married a musician & we’re passing our love of music onto our kids now – listening to music, singing & dancing with them always.
Music made me accept myself just the way I am, but not to limit myself and I know I am capable of reaching my goals. There are really meaningful songs out there ^_^
Music inspired me to be part of it and learn to play guitar.
Music is a huge part of my life, it motivates me with my running and I enjoy it so much more with music. It is also part of my children’s lives too, they love to listen to music as a way to relax and go to sleep. It is pretty much part of our lives from morning through the night!
Music helps when I’m cleaning and doing household chores
music inspires me to take my daily walks, I enjoy listening to the music as I walk
Took a trip to NYC, stood in line for two hours, and then stood five more hours waiting for the performance of a lifetime! #MMMDI
My son was a baby about 18 months old. I had a friend over for coffee. On the baby monitor she heard him singing and recognized a song. Wondered if he had some musical talent so at age 4 put him in classical piano. He was one of the best students and then took guitar a short time (6 months and taught himself guitar as well as drums. Performed in grade school musicals and played piano at his brothers wedding at age 12. When studying abroad he was ask to sing in a band. Now he has graduated college and follows the EDM music scene. I loved performing in musical summer theatre and put that energy into his love of music once I became a mom
There is not a minute that goes by that I DON’T have music playing.. Im a live music freak.. have over 1000 TB of live music and been to over 100 concerts.. this prize pack was built around me and it won’t go to waste if I win it.
music has always been part of my life.. I associate music only happiness . I lost my virginity listening to romantic music and have only the best memories with music.. so only happiness.
Music takes me back instantly to a memory or place… I feel as if I am reliving a moment when “that” special song comes on.
Music has inspired my daughter to feel better about herself. She use to self harm but through therapy and music she is recovering. Music is very important to her and is her lifeline.
rock music inspired me to work out harder
I have a pair of Sol Republic headphones and love them, but I have been playing the guitar since middle school.
While in college music always inspired me with my projects. A group of us always had some sort of music on in the studio.
When training for my first marathon, I was struggling and didn’t think I’d make it. I bought a cheap mp3 player and started running to music. The music got me motivated and helped me complete my training and helped me finish my first marathon!
Music inspires me to workout and keep going. Have a good playlist going and you can go twice as long..
In high school I was shy and a loner but music inspired me to join band and make friends. Music helped me stay in school and get an education. I would’ve probably dropped out without the inspiration of music.
When I’m listening to music it inspires me to lose weight so I can dance to it better and it inspires me to try harder to be the best I can be.
Music inspired me to spend hours in line to purchase concert tickets, the concert was amazing
I love to sing and do so all the time~Pasty Cline is my favorite!

music inspires me to remember that everyone has a story, a perspective, to share and that impacts their ideas and decisions. i’m not alone in my feelings but i’m also not the same as everyone else. it’s nice to listen to the stories shared thru music.
my son who is 14 now loves music. the first things he could spell were green day and offspring as he had the posters on his wall ! he has been to more concerts than adults! we just took him 5 hours each way to see a band last week!!
we plan on taking him 4000 miles to see some bands!
I use music when I write, it helps to inspire the words I put down.

I’m from a family of singers and music lovers, so I’ve never known life without it. It’s been a joy to pass that love on to my own children.

I love to sing. I love to dance. And I love to praise God…with really loud music! When I am struggling, singing praises, takes the focus off of me. When I am sad, music brings me joy. When I am weak, many hymns have been used to strengthen me and give me courage. God uses music to comfort, to help, and to encourage.
I had to have music playing all of my college years in order to study.

music inspires me daily to get things done and be a better person. I have recently lost weight and music helped me along the way.
Music has been a part of my life since as long as I can remember. I’ve been studying classical piano for 18 years, I have studied vocal performance, and I use music to inspire others every day! Without music, I’d be lost!
music inspired my to go my own way in life
Music is one way I stay connected with God. It helps me celebrate him and the blessings he has provided for me and my family.
Music makes me a happier person.
My music inspires me to exercise. 90 minutes of cardio is so much easier with good tunes playing.
I am an artist and I always listen to music when I am creating. It allows me to focus and whatever I am listening to definitely influences the artwork.
when i was 12 someone interduced me to punk music, which i loved !! listening to music made me want to be in a band, that how and why i learned to play guitar .. music is my life

I actually was listening to A Little Less Conversation by Elvis when I was flying into Vegas to put me into the mood!
Music inspires me to keep moving when I don’t feel like it. Even something as simple as cleaning the house is so much better with tunes. It gets me moving, makes me feel productive and happy.

Music inspires me to do my housework.
A “Bucket List” trip exploring Alaska with my 87 yr. old dad in tow, was happy with music. Memories of a lifetime!
When I don’t feel like cleaning my house I turn on music and it makes that awful job so much better.
Music has kept me focused on the rhythms and melodies in times of chaos. It maintains my sanity. And it is nice.
A life without music would be a drab one, at the least. I like to whistle, and most days I can be heard whistling whatever is in my head!
Music inspired me to relax and destress. It helps me enjoy time without worrying about work and just dance.
Music inspired me to be true to myself and create. I write and music is the background to my art.
Music Made Me Do It when I dragged my college roommates (circa 1987) to a small college bar to listen to a new band, The Gin Blossoms, before they had even released their first album; met my wife that night !
Music made me dance like a crazy lady at my daughters wedding. I embarrassed myself and her but in my defense I was celebrating, it was Journey and she deserved it!
Music helped me come out of my shell so to speak.. I can relate to so many songs! Music is a great way to stay positive and keep life fun and not boring!! I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t crank my favorite song and sing my heart out!!! It’s also a great time to bond with my kids because just like me they wake up singing everyday! They love car rides with the radio cranked up I hope they will always sing their hearts out wether there are listeners or not 🙂 this prize will really help me teach them that 🙂
Music inspires me to finish my work.
