Self identity gets caught up in the process, you are what you do.
And if you stop doing it you no longer know who you are or supposed to be, you lose both your past and future as there is no present time.
You become that man that used to be Paul McCartney, used to be a Beatle.
All that said, all the conditions of being a human being, the joy, the sadness, exhilaration and indifference become interwoven into your works.
So yea I'd imagine that music is like other creative arts but one can channel some of it, some of the time.
And keep in mind that not all art or music is cheery nor intended to be, there is the Blues after all.
Our inner darkness, boredom, and our frustrations are found in artist and their art of all kinds.
