Re: Music
Hi Neb,
What a fun post! I love music too. Do you have certain genres/musicians for different moods or activities? I like Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson when I'm feeling mellow, Digtalism when I'm cleaning the house, and Ninch Inch Nails if I had a rough day.
I find music helps to both tap into and release emotions. What about you?

Re: Music
You are right about tapping into music in order to release pent up emotions.
I use to cry very readily over stuff usually on the news, but it is HARD to cry when you know it will help ease the pain inside. I just need to play a Sarah Brightman song....Time to say Goodbye....she sings it, I don't know who wrote it, by it turns on the waterworks for me.
My brother is trying to get me interested in a German band called " Ramstein", and other funky dunky cwazy music. Music is such a personal thing eh...I love Baroque music and madrigals. My first album I ever brought was a double album that cost me $11.00....., Neil Diamond's "Hot August Night".......that gives away my age eh?.
Do you use music to sort of hypnotise or induce a trance state? I do so occasionly!

Re: Music
Ha! Funny how music can give away our age. I've not heard of Sarah Brightman, will look her up though. Always on the prowl for new music. I have heard of Ramstein. Also, I've also had friends trying to get me into them. I'm afraid they just don't float my boat! You're right, music is a very personal thing. My first album was Alanis Morissette! It was a CD - give away my age?
But music need not be a devide. When I was travelling through Spain a few years back, I worked on a farm where no one spoke a word of English, and my Spanish only consisted of a few basic words. Anyway, I ended up connecting with a few people making music together. Was such a wonderfully magical experience. It certainly got me into a hypnotic trance state with others whom I couldn't even talk to!

Re: Music
Now music is definately a fun topic,
I have a massively diverse music range, my scope goes from old time Jazz, through to new age techno beats, i find it is not neccesarily the lyrics that i love but the backing music, the strum of a bass guitar or the tantalising digital effects,
I do have to be very careful as to what i listen to when doing certain things, if i listen to techno style music or rap when i drive it trigger's my mania and i have to change to something more easy listening to calm myself, or if i am feeling low and play some smashing pumpkins a couple of there songs can get me in a downward spiral,
It amuses me as to how music affects me, but i know that if i'm low a hard hitting bass backed track will quickly turn me around and i'm up, but i do have to wary, my favorite track is Tusk by Fleetwood Mac, such a fantastic build up for a song.
like i said my diverse taste in music is basically anything, if i find a backing beat fun, i can't stand the song but the beat to let me take a selfie makes me laugh, not sure how to finish this but music is a great mood changer, sometimes for the better sometimes not, thankfully i have become aware of what is good to turn me around.
