Music And Your Senses.

Posted by Kopite Girl , 02 August 2010 · 123 views

Hey again!

So. Music. Natural stimuli. It gets you high, it gets you thinking. It accompanies you like a best friend. It speaks to you. You turn to it with a broken heart and it helps you heal. It gets you absolutely hyped up. We can always rely on Music.

It also provides a great atmospheric setting, for alone time with your lover. Personally speaking-and honestly-its good to get a little freaky to rock music (Little Miss Lover by Hendrix and Back in Black from AC/DC are two of my favourites.) You can take your time with soulful sounds (You're Making Me High from Toni Braxton is quite good too.) Or start your evening having dinner, a little ambience doesn't hurt.

I digress. But do you guys agree? It fits for everything? Do you have a song or piece or a certain type of music that triggers that closeness you shared? Don't be shy!

What is your life song at the moment? The one that reflects your life at the moment perfectly? What song makes you happy beyond belief? What makes you cry?

Music is the food that stimulates our brain and senses. Without it, life wouldn't have any colour.

So come on. Spill!




Good post. My life right now is a bit in flux. Turning 40 is doing interesting things to my outlook and not all of them good. Anyway....my song at the moment, the one that resonates with where I am right now is Drinking and Dreamin' by Waylon Jennings.

http://www.youtube.c...feature=related I think the melancholic nature of the start of this tune taps into somewhere I can't put into words. Nothing bad, nothing depressing, just something humbling. Then it builds, it grows. Then the fuzz guitar solo. Magic. This is where I am at the moment. Hmm, now I need some Steppenwolf and a magic carpet ride......

Does listening closely to your partner's heartbeats count as a lead-up music (song?)?

Lots of music does these extremes of somethingness, but a couple of simple favourite for smileys is 'Lola' by The Kinks and 'I Can See For Miles' by The Who... most stuff by Bob Marley brings out the rainbows too.  

The 'one' that really really gets me lifted up when life serves up the poo, is the track from Local Hero (Mark Knopfler), 'Going Home'... for some reason it just fills me full up to bursting with feelgood.  

A couple that I struggle with are, Mike and The Mechanics 'The Living Years' because it's eerily accurate, and 'Hallelujah' by Jeff Buckley, just because  ;)

Found the basement again.

I'm eclectic in my musical tastes which means I like it all... to an extent. Lately, I have been digging some young lads that use traditional Japanese instruments to rock and jam. Freakiest thing. I've also been surprised by how strongly my mind still responds to heavy metal... but this is true of the best of all types of music, at any time, be that opera or minimalist longtones.

Which remainds me that Japanese radio sucks and, when I'm stucked in the car, I spend more time searching the dial than actually listening. Pity that my "compilation" days are long gone...

So, yeah, music is life... including "body" music as the Honorable Quiet One suggests.
