[flyingharmony.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ouverture
Points: Long debate: Participation 10pts, Additional comment: 2pts, 30pts limit.
Deadline: Submit your answers by Monday, April 30th @ 22:59 UTC (timezone converter).
Details: New club leader, new luck, don't they say? Let's start with discussing a fundamental question: Music. We all love music, at least we who joined the music club. But what does music mean? Can we define music like we can define physical laws? What does music mean to us, how does it influence our lives, our thinking, etc? There's lots of material for discussions. As always, you'll get ten points for your initial comment (which should be at least 100-150 words long) and two more for each additional comment (I'm not giving you any limits for this, but please, show that you've put some thought and effort in it, just saying "I agree/don't agree" isn't enough) with a limit of 30 points as a total.

Note: I've turned notifications off for this, so if there are any questions etc, feel free to contact me via PM!

Note #2: As always, please don't forget to sign each comment with your name&house and to check if you're on the roster - there will be no grace periods!

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Victor Hugo recommends you to join the Club.

Music is a huge part of my life. I don't think you can define music in broad terms because it depends so much on the individual. Music can mean totally different things for different people and that's one of the things that is so great about it.

For me, music can help out with my current moods. I have songs I like to listen to for working out that really pump me up, songs I love to dance to, songs to listen to when I'm sad, songs that cheer me up, and songs that represent certain moments or certain people in my life.

I don't need a specific reason to listen to music either. Most of the time I just throw my iphone on shuffle and let musical fate do the rest. And don't even get me started on concerts, festivals and live music haha.

This, all of it. That's exactly how I am with music! :D Sometimes I feel kind of, I don't know, like I'm not ~picky enough or something with what I listen to, or that I'm maybe not educated enough because I can't talk about the history/importance of a genre, but music is a broad enough topic that it shouldn't matter how I enjoy it, should it?
