Entry 1: The music

  • I thought I’d start a ‘musical’ journal as it were. Feel free to comment, give me advice, make recommendations or simply tell me to go tell someone who cares.

    So the first question, in relation to music, that came into my mind today was:

    Does the music you listen to relate to your emotions at the time or the events that prevailed your day?

    Personally I find that sometimes the lyrical content of songs isn’t as important as the genre / style / sound of the music that are reflective of my moods. For example, at the moment I am listening to Obscure Sphinx.  Their lyrical themes tend to focus on depression, but I am feeling quite happy and content now. However, I need a little energy pick me up after lunch and their harshness mixed with symphonic metal is just what I felt like. I tend to find that a lot of the time; it is the sound of music that may “speak” more to my current state of emotions than the actual lyrics.

    So what music will I listen to after Obscure Sphinx? Good question. I’ll still be at work for a few more hours … I might have to put my playlist on random until something grabs my interest. Any thoughts on your best songs to get through some Mondayitis?

  • For question 1, I think it can be both. Sometimes for one song it could be because you are going through something when you listen to it, and other songs it just stirs something up in you. And sometimes it can be a combination of both. :)


    I'd have to get back to you about the Mondayitis playlists though!
