This statement couldn’t ring more true for me.
There is music out there to accommodate every mood I have. When I’m going on a long drive in the beautiful country, Sweet Melissa and Jessica from The Allman Brothers Band starts out the trip nicely. Sometimes Sweet Baby James, Shower The People or Mexico from James Taylor is a nice enhancer to a happy feeling of wanting to run through a field of daisies in the breeze of a warm summer day. On rare occasions when I feel lonely, I’ll play “Man In the Wilderness” by Styx, shed my tears of woe and move on because I know Tommy Shaw certainly understands how I feel. After all, he wrote the song. It’s like crying to someone in your beer. When I play the soundtrack to the movie “Practical Magic” I think about my soul sister and the strong bond we share. She is always there for me.
The first time I heard “Never Again” by Nickelback I actually had a hard time with it. Because it brought back floods of memories of my abusive childhood. I could completely identify with him. After listening to the entire album, sorry, compact disk, I thought ‘damn that Chad Kroger had a really rough child hood. I hope writing these songs was therapeutic for him. It must have been. The following CD’s had very different themes.
Sometimes I use music to bring on a mood that I want to have. There’s music that can bring you up or down, make you feel sexy or downright raunchy like a dog in heat.
When I have a call for energy because I feel like dancing around while doing the dishes, Cinderella, Tesla or Skid Row gives me that kick and does the trick quite nicely.
I use a nice guitar instrumental enhanced with pan flutes to assist in inducing relaxation before and during a meditation. (I do meditative sittings. See what I do here) enter mediumintraining.com….
You’ve seen the commercial where the pretty brunette says “When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?”
Music is part of my soul. It gets me going. Enhances my moods. It turns-me-on.
What music turns you on?
