(It) all depends on the music.

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment a month ago

So based on Grumbler’s translation, your sentence is a response to: What kind of music do you like/listen to?

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment a month ago

Anna, if this is just a general statement about music in the sense that music is everything, then we’d say: It’s all about the music(!)

Anna Sevastyanovaadded a comment a month ago

Uly, thank you for your help! It’s not that general statement, it’s another. ) I’ll try to explain. )
First, usually, people like different genres of music (or, maybe, it only seems to me, but anyway let’s suppose they do).
And second, sometimes people have deep feelings when they listen to the music. And for that period of time (when you listen deeply), different kinds of music arise different emotions. (And it’s not that ones are bad and others are good. They are different.) I mean you may like light pop version of hard rock as well as some gentle music. And you would react differently to different genres (dance, sing in different ways). And if you take pictures of yourself or someone take pictures of you at these moments they will be quite different.
I asked this question because I noticed that my selfies shot when I turned on different genres of music differ much! Without the right music (when the sound was turned off) my pics weren’t that beautiful (or full of life).

So, in this case the music has a great impact on how I look and I guess it has it not only on me.

So, that’s the story. ) I finally finished it. ))

If you’re not tired as much as I am )) I wanted to ask how would you say “music determines everything” in this case?

•-<(||=ULY=||)>- •added a comment a month ago

Well, in that context, I don’t think what you want to say can be summed up in three words. (And I have to wonder if your Russian version says everything you just described to native Russian speakers when they read it).
In English, I’d say something like:

—Music has a profound and visible effect on me depending on the genre.
—Different kinds of music bring out different emotions in me/versions of me.

Uly and everyone, I’m sorry I wasted your time. Now I see that what is mine is mine, and what is not is not. I mean I will never like music I never really paid attention to. And I don’t have different selves, which are connected to different kinds of music. I only have one me, and it became clear in a day or two.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry for disturbing you. 😃

P.S. Uly, yes, of course I would have to explain everything to a native Russian speaker like I did to you.
Maybe there are different meanings of the phrase «музыка решает все», but now I can’t think of one, sorry. Maybe someone can. )
