say anythin you want about it
id like this blog to be about
people perceptions of music and how it makes em feel

well i listen 2 ne thing from classical 2 rap but it all depends on my
mood at the time. when i was goin thru my divorce i listened 2 alot of
metal cause i was pist off all the time.

I can't live without my tunes, especially in my car. If I'm on a long
trip I need something hard, heavy and fast to keep me awake while I
drive. Same thing when I come home from work, I'm tired but got plans to
go out, I crank up some Iron Maiden or some good thrash to energize me
and get my blood pumping..Now if I'm performing, that's a whole
different story. It's a fantastic emotional release, especially for
getting rid of negative emotions.
I find if you can shut down the noise in yer head and get into the music
when yer listening to it it can actually alter yer mood.

my favorite albumn ive got stuck in my player right now is my copy of
90125 by yes i really get down on the tone they use on hold on its one
of the blues sounding guitar rifts ive heard in a while

WELL FOR ME PERSONALLY I DONT LISTEN TO MUSIC, I FEEL IT,IF I CANT FEEL
IT I DONT LISTEN TO IT.I NORMALLY LIKE ONLY METAL,BUT I RESPECT ANY
MUSIC THAT IS CREATED WITH INSTRUMENTS.I DONT LIKE COUNTRY BUT I DO LOVE
JOHNNY CASH,IM KINDA PICKEY WITH MY STYLE OF MUSIC.I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR
RAP MUSIC...OR HIP HOP FOR THAT MATTER,ITS NOT REAL MUSIC TO ME ITS MADE
WITH A MACHINE,I CONSIDER THEM BOTH JUST 'ENTERTAINMENT.'

i like all kinds of music as well but it tends to have a mellowing
effect on me know matter what the pace of the music is or the subject
matter, it all relaxes me and makes me happier.

WELL BELEIVE IT OR NOT...METAL RELAXES ME
ECSPECIALY IF ITS A SONG I CAN IDENIFY WITH

I like all kinds of music I love rap, contry, metal, hop hop. I like all
different kinds.

Music expresses our every feeling in life and is a description of who we
are as a person. I love music because it brings so much meaning to a
persons life. When we are upset or full of joy,when we are making love
or when we are just experiencing our first kiss. It brings back lots of
good times as well as bad and can make us have a different point of view
of how life is.

yeah i can dig that i think music is the best kind of relief i have
right now its so easy to just get into playing my instraments its the
one of the things i hope to pass on to my son is a love for music. i
feel the ability to create and just feel music is a precious gift.

Well, I just wanna start off by saying that I like all forms of music
within the english language, within which I can understand lyrically.
But, if it starts off with a growl and I can't understand you, then I
don't even bother listening to you.If you've got a good tune and a good
beat to your song, then I'll listen to you. Might not know what you're
sayin',but I like what you're producing musically. Now myself, I enjoy
rap music, depending on who it's by. Rap, in general, can be annoying,
but any other music can be annoying, as well. For instance, the liquid
metal music is, to me, very annoying. All that damn growling and
speaking in tongues really gets on my last nerve. Same thing with music
from another language; it's very annoying and all of it sounds the same,
very much like circus or carnival music. I hear it all the time and
there's just no escaping it, so I turn my music up a notch to drown that
music out. Rap, too. I don't get into Twista because I can't understand
what he's sayin'. I don't get into Tool, either, because I don't know
what the singer is sayin' in the mic.I try to tune my ears in to hear
and understand, but I just can't.
You see..... rap, metal, nu-metal, country,all forms of music, have
two common bonds: they ALL evolved from poetry, as far as the lyrics.
Rap is no different from country as is bluegrass is no different rock
and roll as a genre and different people enjoy a certain type of genre.
Every group or solo artist have a different sound and style, but their
lyrics come from poetry. You might argue that point, but it's a fact
that when the artist writes a song, they're writing about an exprience
they've had at some point in their lives and how it made them feel then
or how it makes them feel now. If you're happy about meeting somebody,
you write about it; well, some of us write about it. If you're pissed
off at the world, if you're supporting a cause or someone, you tell
people about it. Whether they listen or not is their choice, but at
least you're letting your voice be heard.Somebody will, eventually, hear
you and like what you have to say and if they like what you write, then
they're a fan. So, my point is music, in itself, is your way of saying
to people , without sayin' a word, what your mood is, depending on what
your got in the cd player. Let's not be judgemental and say that that
kind of music, whatever it may be, is not art. That is, merely, an
opinion that can be expressed however you want. But, there's a certain
way to go about it when you express it. In my opinion,smooth jazz is the
most soothing music you could ever hear. It's , also, good sex music,
depending on what song comes on.

I can go from Classic rock to Alternative and Classic music to some pop
even. And yes it depends on my mood. Like right now I'm having a beer so
I can handle something heavy metal and it wont give me a head ach. But I
may have a head ach in the morning. LOL
