  • Hot air and Music.
     OP - October 16, 2013, 05:57 PM
    I have recently been listening to other peoples offering in way of music and you can see trends developing, don't get me wrong, I am not saying for one nanosecond that I know people or their tastes but you pick up the beats they like in particular genres.

    My point is that I know the beats per minute (and other similar categories that I do not know the name of or understand) what I like, what hits the groove at that time. Sure love songs etc are different categories, more lyrics than lilt.

    But our favourite 'beats' do they signify how I brain are, or is at that moment and people have different 'beats' that they like, perhaps change with age/motherhood etc/brain moods/injury/you get the gist.

    Any views?

    I have gone through years where I only listen to one sort of music.
    I have no idea why.
    But now I listen to a variety. The problem with that is that it really affects my mood. I cannot do background music right now. It's always "turn that up, what is that, I can't hear it, I like this" and then I get distracted.
    It's really really central to my life right now.
    I have no idea why.
    I don't even have a phone that plays music or an IPod or any such thing. So I get songs running in my head all day and the first thing I do when I get home is go and play them.
    I have a million other things to do, but I have to turn up the music first, or I can't get it done at all because it's in my head and I need it in my ears instead.

    Time plays a large part with music, yeah...everything has a time signature even if it's not obvious to most (like with the absence of a preclusion instrument).  I think music has a lot to do with memory and atmosphere.  What memories we attach to certain types of music can affect our desire for a particular kind during a certain time and how listening to something can make us feel.  I think that's why when we are exposed to something new and foreign, if there is nothing in it that is familiar to us at all, we automatically reject it until we have to listen to it more before we can grow to like it...or hate it. A lot.

    That's funny. I usually like foreign right away. You have a license with foreign to just listen, instead of deciphering lyrics. It's relaxing.
    That might explain a lot about me.. come to think of it.

    Meant foreign more in the music itself rather than the lyrics.  So, I take it you like instrumental music more?

    No, on the contrary, I like vocals. I am picky about them, in fact. Instrumental rarely is enough.

    Interesting. So your mind sees vocals as another instrument, but the words themselves can distract you from simply enjoying the music alone.

    Yes, or the words add to it, but not the first time. I just strain to understand on the first listen, if it is a language I am familiar with.
    I always assumed everyone had the same problem.

    Not me. Then again, I guess I approach listening to music differently because I used to write reviews for a living.  First, I just listen to the song and see what my first impression is.  I listen a second time to only the music and the vocals without trying to decipher the words or meaning.  The third time that I listen is when I focus on the lyrics.

    Reviews? I was once friends with someone who built an empire on that. How fascinating. Did you review everything, or was it specific?
    Your method is exactly how I read books. Maybe because I used to do informal critiques for budding authors occasionally. First is overall impression, second is plot and emotional response, third is technical issues.

    I reviewed whatever interested me or was mailed in to me.  Loved doing interviews the most.  Helped several others to develop their writing skills along the way, but they have all left me a long time ago.  Always insisted on not making money off of my writing.

    I never have made any money on it, either. But with kids in the mix, now, I would welcome anything I could. If only I were Tom Robbins.

    I am right here with you on that one. None of mine came with any manuals.

    I had to go out and find manuals. I think I have twenty on the shelf, but only one of them works at all.

    Never trusted the books on this one, but maybe I should have in some ways.

    I am mostly clueless without books.
    I can't even cook without one.
