What inspires you to make music?

Music in general, has a stronghold over me emotionally. I can sit there and chill out to Jimmy buffet's Margaritaville , or I can rock out to ( Have a drink on me ) by AC/DC . One is calm, cool, and collective, the other is aggressive, and raises your heart rate. Like when I listen to the incredible harmonies of bands like, The Everly Brothers, Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Mama's and Papa's,.. It's euphoria to me, it's compelling, I want to do that! songs like: Going to San Fransisco ( with flowers in your hair ) American Pie, The wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald, Some very powerful lyrics It can be a little difficult to explain I guess.
