Do You Choose Your Music?

The moment I realized that this classical piece of music filled my eyes with tears, I was astound.

Do you ever feel this way?
Listening to music online, on the radio, on your phone? Attending a concert, a musical, an opera?

Do you ever engage with the music you listen to?
Do you spare a thought on the composers' intention to make you feel something?
Do you enjoy instrumental music?
Do you make an effort to understand?
Do you challenge yourself to listen to different genres of music?

OR

Do you settle for the three music chords the music industry sells you?
Do you settle for the edited voices of singers that can not perform live?
Do you understand the meaningless lyrics?
Do you just follow the mass consumption?
Are you actually listening to music or watching a video with background music?
Do you attend concerts with live music or shows with playback music?

Do you choose your music or is your music choosing you??
