My choices of songs changed over the years. Now I'm focusing more in world music, like celtic, folk and hindu.
I wonder sometimes how this is so different from what I used to hear in the past, but then I use to think it's because of the fact that I'm also changing as a person. I feel I'm getting more reflexive and introspective, and this reflects in the songs I like to listen.
Music is my tool to escape the daily hardships. It transfers me into another world. A place where I can choose, what exists and what not.
Let’s say I listen to something fairly energetic when I have a need to feel that way. It is a stimulant.
At the Moment I love to listen to mathcore and metal core, because it’s so strong and the rhythms help me get up in the morning. But I would never chain myself to just one Kind of Music. There is too much to explore, too much too feel.
Music soothes the soul and can be very relaxing. I enjoy listening to a variety of music, but especially 80's music.
I especially enjoy the funky beat of Jamiroquai, sometimes play it in the car, while driving.
There can be a wide variety of reasons I listen to the music I have. Most of the time it comes from the mood I am in at the moment in time. Indeed, my Spotify playlists have several themes specially designed for various moods. If I am in one of my battle the universe moods - there is a list for that, and if I am in a romantic one - I have a list covering such. A lot of my music comes from Celtic Woman back when Lisa Kelly was still with them, Taylor Davis (One of my all time favorite violinist), and epic-battle inspiring music from various movies: Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Gladiator, and so forth. Usually, such music also comes into play depending on what I am writing at the time. If I am trying to write a battle scene; then very likely something with such music is playing. The same is true if I am writing in a Star Wars fanfic, or a romantic story… the music sets the mood, and makes it easier for me to focus my writing energy.
Currently, I listen to a lot of KPop and a little indie pop. I rarely listen to what is on the radio, only in the car if I want some background noise. I listen to songs that make me feel something, whether it be intense emotions or just the feeling of freedom.
Music lifts me up, brings me down, makes me wanna do a lot of things and makes me wanna sit down and be silent. It reminds me of my mom, it reminds me of my dad, it brings memory of the dead, it reminds me of the living. Music to me is life. It runs through me, it lives in me.
