Yeah, that's my understanding of music too... I wasn't trying to say that music isn't escapism necessarily, just on a deeper level that if it is then so is the whole of reality/existence (as that's made of music)
but for most people in their practical everyday lives I would say that yes, music can be escapism, but it can also be a reflection of reality. depends on the music and the listener

Should I stay or should I go ?
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of whats really going on.
Re: Random questions you are asking yourself...
follow your heart...
Re: Random questions you are asking yourself...
If your heart is inside you do you go nowhere?
Do it your way, because everyone else is just weird.

So to answer my question: music is not just escapism but one of the things it can be to a person. It sometimes is to me. An escape to another "reality". Thanks for your concern.

Two tracks are almost done. Pretty sad for 5 years, but I guess I got caught up in day-job land. Working on vocals this weekend, so we'll see how it goes. Goal is to go to press within 2 months. Thanks for asking!

Schopenhauer (philosopher) wrote it down quite well:
http://users.belgacom.net/wagnerlibrary … htm#d0e934
"Music is thus by no means like the other arts, the copy of the Ideas, but the copy of the will itself, whose objectivity these Ideas are. This is why the effect of music is much more powerful and penetrating than that of the other arts, for they speak only of shadows, but it speaks of the thing itself. Music does not express this or that particular and definite joy, this or that sorrow, or pain, or horror, or delight, or merriment, or peace of mind; but joy, sorrow, pain, horror, delight, merriment, peace of mind themselves, to a certain extent in the abstract, their essential nature, without accessories, and therefore without their motives. Yet we completely understand them in this extracted quintescence."

never read that before, very interesting! I especially agree with the last bit... always thought it's crazy how music can function as a language to communicate ideas/perspectives/emotions that are too abstract to put into words. Without needing to understand the lyrics (and of course it's completely the case with instrumental music) it's fascinating how quickly we all understand what the creator of the music thought and felt just by hearing the sound.
