Music everywhere, too much?

Yeah, balance is good...and often, silence (peace) is better. Still, when you do listen, or want to listen, quality is the best indeed.
I've found over the years that music would NEVER SEEM TO STOP playing in my head when I worked in the audio business daily! I found peace and quiet a good recipie for clearing out my mind.
It got so bad that I realized I couldn't make the songs stop laying in my head! So, I took a break compeletely for a while, and noticed a big difference in how I felt and operated.
I know far too many people who not only have music going when they are awake all day, but when they sleep! This is not good!...but that's my opinion anyway.
Now day's, I find I sometimes listen in my car (I like to drive too fast it seems, and play rock there mostly). But at home...no music hardly. I do mostly movies at home, when enjoying with my gal/friends. I like it more that way these days. Needless to say, I "turn it off" more than on now. But I do enjoy it when I "do turn it up"! Balance....quiet...noise....quiet...noise...but mostly quiet

Most of the ambiant noise that you're reffering to as music I don't consider to be music. Music I don't mind.
But I guess if beauty is in the eye of the beholder - than music is in the ear.

I often find the incessant music soundtracks in film to be really irratating. Where's the silence? Silence can be as emotive or even more emotive than many of these lame soundtracks.

No music in the great outdoors. Best way to escape it all.

It's a bit like having food everywhere, except with food you can choose not to eat it. I find it awful that they play this crap through your phone while you are waiting on hold. Yes, too much "music" pollution all around.
