Here are some of the other highlights:

Many of you commented about how music makes your day better.

“I must admit I do wake up to the same Chopin Etude #3 every morning. I find it much more relaxing than an alarm clock and classical piano pieces are a great way to start my day.” –Scott C.

“I listen to music all day long at work- classical and Instrumental movie soundtracks all the way!” –Craig J.

“I always listen to music when I’m cooking.” –Steve K.

Some of you said you needed music in order to do something.

“Music is the only thing that would calm down Lila when she was born. Total lifesaver!” –Erin G.

“You are so right about imagining your life without music. Try training for and running a marathon without it. “ –Jay G.

Or described how music can enhance experiences.

“Summer wouldn’t be the same without outdoor music festivals. Can’t top sitting outside listening to kick a** music.” –Jamie S.

“I’ve been on a vacation road trip across the country this week and I have literally had music going non-stop. We have planned out soundtracks for what sites we’d be seeing. For instance, our soundtrack for Yellowstone’s majesty was Respighi: Church Windows, especially the 4th movement coming up the mountains, seeing the waterfalls…magnificent. “ –Leah C.

And make you feel nostalgic.

“I remember my dad drove me to school and I listened to the entire act 2 of Nozze.” –Mr. Wenarto

“I just saw Jurassic World and forgot how much I love the piano theme. Hello, childhood.” –Kaira B.

“I had no idea how much I would miss the music in Serial. Every time they’d reveal a new clue or something major that extremely catchy music would play in the background. If you are a Serial fan, you know to what I’m referring.” –Liz L.
