It is amazing how music is able to bring so many different emotions, how you can choose a track that you know is going to match your mood perfectly......to pick you up....to bring you down.....to chill you out.....or to get your arse out of the door for a night out.
For me Moby's - Why does my heart will always bring a tear to my eye, as will My Immortal by Evanescene, and there are times when everyone has to cry (admittedly I am a big kinda wuss....I mean I'm a big rufty toughty caveman! Honest.....well one that admits to having shed a few tears over Extreme Makeovers Home Edition). I think that there has to be times when you can close yourself away in your room and release all your pent up emotions. I found this especially hard when I was in a relationship, as although there were times that we were apart, it was difficult to shed a tear. One of my favourite places to go to be by myself is Beverley Westwood, especially in the autumn at either dusk or dawn, to see the sun rising of setting through bare trees with mist flowing.
Viva la Vida by Coldplay will always remind me of happier times after seeing them at one of the most amzing concerts that I have ever been to (Chris Martin was amazing, and I don't think anyone will be able to cover any of his tracks because of his unique voice!)
Scooter's Nessaja's lyrics always make me smile. I dont think that I can hear "It's not bird, it's not a plane, it must be Dave who's on the train!" without laughing out loud! Anything by Radiohead will calm me down (I think they can probably calm anyone down.....just not the type of music to listen to when your down though! Kinda messy!) and anything by Linkin Park will lift me up.
I went through a period when whatever mood I wanted to feel I could play Linkin Park to take me there, from "Numb" to "What I've done".
My musical tastes match my mind completely, eclectic. I grew up dancing to the sounds of Guns and Roses and Meatloaf, and somehow progressed to dancing around in warehouses to hardcore dance mixes. I haven't changed at all and will dance to anything (I have to admit that now it takes two or three drinks to get me on the floor now) ......when I stayed in York we would go out about once a week dancing, and I miss it.....crazy as I used to live a few doors down from Welly Club in Hull.....kinda stupid not to use what was on the doorstep, but very rarely did! I hope that this can change shortly when I move to Manchester!
I love music, and the way that it can affect you psychologically.
