The music for me is something essential, I can fly with my imagination when I need to get away a bit of reality.

When I listen I feel like I'm in another dimension. It's a way to express your emotions, feelings, frustrations, etc. The music in my opinion is a magic that moves the world.

 A noun clause can be a subject, a direct object, an indirect object, a subject complement, or the object of a preposition. Whatever happens during the day comes out in my music. [subject] I dont know why Im so crazy about his music. [direct object] Ill give whoever calls first the tickets. [indirect object] Music is what helps me unwind.

They asked whether / if we could recommend some good recordings. The violinist explained that the concerto was quite difficult to play.

 A noun clause can also be introduced by whoever, whomever, or whatever, meaning any person or any thing. Whoever can combine hip-hop with pop is sure to be a hit. The audience always loves whatever they play. Noun clauses often follow phrases with impersonal It subjects. Its my opinion that music is a kind of international language. In writing, subject noun clauses are often preceded by phrases such as the fact, the idea, etc. The fact that enjoyment of music in universal is quite interesting.

OR We asked them whether (or not) they could play the song for us again. Im not sure why the band decided to break up. Do you know wich / what instrument she plays?
