Music is a powerful method of expression for me, whether it is making music or listening to it (all day). Looking back, music has served as a vehicle for expressing thoughts and feelings that I am unable or unwilling to express myself. At the same time, music has provided the support and guidance that people were unable to. Music helped me not take my life, helped me grieve, helped me rebel, developed my identity, and generally is a measure of my mood. Does music play a big role for all INFJs? Is there any music that specifically has helped you or served as an expression of you in a powerful way?

I love music and art in general. I have different play lists for my ipod depending on what kind of mood I am in, I have songs that help inspire me, and songs that express my sadness, and songs that express my happiness, and songs that express when I am upset, songs that help motivate me, and so on. I hum songs too; my children know what kind of mood I am in by what song I am humming when I am cooking breakfast. I have a theme song that I have always kept in mind sense the first time I heard it some people think it is funny that I of all the songs in the world it is the one I identify with myself most but here are the lyrics

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel
underneath
innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your health, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
and I'm going to extremes
tomorrow I will change
and today won't mean a thing

Just when you think you've got me figured out
the season's already changing
I think it's cool you do what you do
and don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
when you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numbed, I'm revived
can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

I can't live without music. I'm into lyrics and meaning rather than a catchy tune. I love Regina Spektor. I can relate to her songs so much.
And Red, I love that song! :)

Music is everything to me - it is my consolation when nothing else will console. I sing Gregorian Chant and Polyphany 2-3x's a week, it is my joy.

Music does have a role in my life. For every place that I've lived during my twenties, I naturally developed these soundtracks with music from coffee shops I visited, local radio stations, friend's music, shows, movies, music stores, exploring....

I'm not an infj obviously....but dear goodness is music awesome. I can't think of any better expression of emotions than the flow of music. I feel lucky to be able to listen and play music....maybe not lucky....but grateful.

your so right
music gives me the confidence to dress how i want and be myself, music tells me that if other people have a problem with me they can f off.
when im listening to music im totaly okay with being INFJ

[EmpathicSoul]

The funny thing with me is I have to turn the music off sometimes because I get overwhelmed. And I don't really even listen to the music really loud. I generally have to be doing less intellectual things when I listen to music otherwise I won't listen, won't work, or will get a headache.

Music is good.

I love it when I find a song I can relate to, as it's a rare experience. I mean as in a song that I feel could have been written about me. Here's one that I feel describes the way I feel, the way I've always felt :)



I look at you, you bite your tongue
You don't know why or where I'm coming from
But in my head I'm close to you
We're in the rain still searching for the sun

You think that I want to run and hide
I keep it all locked up inside but I just want you to find me

I'm not lost, i'm not lost, just undiscovered
And when we're alone we are all the same as each other

You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered

Well the time it takes to know someone
It all can change before you know it's gone
So close your eyes and feel the way I'm with you now
Believe there's nothing wrong

You think that I want to run and hide
I keep it all locked up inside but I just want you to find me

I'm not lost, i'm not lost, just undiscovered
And when we're alone we are all the same as each other

You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered

I'm not running, I'm not hiding
But if you dig a little deeper, you will find me

I'm not lost, not lost, undiscovered
And when we're alone we are all the same as each other

You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered.

I'm not lost, not lost, undiscovered
And when we're alone we are all the same as each other

You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place

I'm not lost now just undiscovered
