Aaron, The Delays: ilikemusic because... It makes everything seem like an incredible film. And it does - it actually does! hahaha! I told the truth and everything....hahaha!
RejinaReclusive: ilikemusic because... it helps me remember. It helps me forget. It helps me be strong and it makes me cry. Music screams the words I can't say, the feelings I can't express. It makes my heart feel alive.
Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Stine Richard: ilikemusic because... its the only way I know how to express myself...
Newton Faulkner: ilikemusic because... I’m absolutely rubbish at everything else.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
David Jordan: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel good and it puts me in a happy mood.
IMTIAZ HASAN: ilikemusic because... music is fuel that steers us through the emotions and phases of life, music promotes a feeling of oneness and generate meaning to our emotions, music lets us explore the culural differences and the tools that are employed through the decades to artistic peaks. why i like music? because it conserves humanity...that is why I LIKE MUSIC
Kano: ilikemusic because... It brings people together. It makes people smile and dance, it makes people happy. I like the energy it gives off.Soul singer Duffy, who came second in the BBC's Sound of 2008 search for new talent, has knocked Basshunter off the top spot this week to take the number one position with her new single, Mercy, on downloads alone.
