Music Comes Alive


Have you ever tried something stupid like, your hand is keeping tuning the music you like or you wish to listen while you're busy driving.. ultimately your eyes were not locked to the road! Even for just a short journey like one minute or two, myself, i just hardly keep myself quiet in that moving space.. i must listen to music. Why so? I think it's particularly dealing with my passion to music. Music, to a certain extent, is not merely for entertaining, but it gradually infiltrates our daily life. From those NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) studies, they work over something called "state of mind". Hold on for a second, there are some questionmarks over someone's head, arent there? haha... i guess... From the book, the so called "state of mind" is made up of our thinking and feeling at particular time and it's varied from time to time that affected by the way we hold our body as well as by what's going on inside our head. Adjectives could give a good example such as exhilarated, depressed, joyous, energized, curious.. and many more to go of course. Does it come to a better picture? If yes, keep going.. haha. So now, the reason why i'm doing that stupid stuff (Driving example) is because i'm trying to change my state from time to time, of course, i change it by listening to music. I usually set myself in relax mode when go shopping, then i would go for either modern R&B. And when i tension, i will go for pianist. But the hinge here is that different people that carries different personality would go for different genre that really suits them. Some people might feel blood metal could make them relax for a bit rather then pianist, who knows? So when you think too much of rubbish, check this out with music. It really helps..

Very nice. I totally agree. The effect that different music has on individuals is quite interesting. I wonder what determines whether someone finds that one type of music soothes them and another genre pumps them up...
