connecting your inner world to your outer would via music - is that right?

For me, I have always loved music, but it's helped me more to feel connected to myself, than to the outer world. If I'm going through emotions/thoughts that I don't understand, the music helps me to think everything makes sense. It expresses what I can not seem to express. Also, it makes me feel understood and not alone, so maybe actually that is forming a connection to the outer world.

I know that if I am at a concert or a loud bar with strobe lights, I'll feel very disconnected. Maybe it's just too overwhelming for me, so I dissociate. Also, I sometimes hear very quiet music in the background that is not really there. So, that's an example in which I am not connected at all.

Am I making sense?
Thanks for this!
