Emotions and musicians

Someone gave a very interesting theory yesterday..
He said,
"Musicians are moody..
Because they are governed by emotions..
Emotions moved them"

I ponder over it and somehow realised it is kinda true.

Musicians have to be moody. Moody in the sense that they are able to get in a certain mood depending on their emotions. They need to be sensitive to emotions, able to feel and express because emotions are the colour of music. Without it, music is nothing but a monotonous hum.



So does that means musicians are an emotional, touchy, sensitive lot?
Is that what defines a musician?
Is that cultivated through time?
Is that what music does to those who spend time with it?
Could it then be considered as a gift or perhaps a curse.. to be able to feel so much and affected so easily?
