Upon a cliff that towers towards the trees
But every vessel pitching hard to starboard
Lay it's head on summer's freckled knees

I'm never more than a few feet from my headphones unless I'm in a meeting and I rarely go more than an hour without music unless I'm sleeping.
But right now it's in overdrive.
I've got the old High Fidelity conundrum on the go:
Do I listen to the music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to the music?
I don't really feel Nick Hornby answered that. He probably didn't intend to, I guess that was the point.

I think it depends on the music. I know there are certain artists I enjoy, but if I listen to them for too long I inevitably feel down. But music also helps a lot. When my anxiety is acting up, going to bed with headphones is the only thing that keeps my brain from kicking into overdrive all night and keeping me up. There's always a balance though....Music can be a good tool to recover, but if you use it too much and it becomes a crutch then it's no longer a good thing...

@nebula music is like steroids for my mood. When I'm high there's music that blows the roof off. When I'm low, there's music that'll keep me there and screw me through the floor. It's funny though because I've never had the good sense to go visa versa.
