but it's those specific tracks that keep us going...the ones that bring you up... when you are sober, the ones you keep playing on repeat...the ones you CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.
what is it about music that changes your mood? that makes it like it is therapy? that you can turn on and will transform your state of mind?
what do you guys think? music = drug?

music is pretty sweet. it always enhances my moods. if i'm sad, and i listen to something a bit down, it makes me more sad/depressed.
likewise, if i'm really excited, and i listen to something totally bangin', then i get even more pumped up.
so yeah, music doesn't change my mood, but it definitely enhances it...thoroughly.

Maybe drugs are just trying to imitate music - did you ever think of that????

music = memory
i associate songs/tracks to past events, a favourite place, event or memory. though it may even be negative such as a breakup.
music = life
music has the power to heal, to calm, to soothe, to invoke emotion. it can relax me after a stressful day at work or it can energise me in the morning on the way to work or before a night out.
so yes, music can be a drug and it's definitely addictive.

there are some tracks that can bring me out of a depressive mood into an uplifting one...
they can bring me from black to white...i just think it's interesting that some patterns of notes can transform one's mood.

to get personal...tonight i was really upset about my grandma, whom i was very close with, passed away last june...out of no where i just started thinking about her...and i put on some songs, out of comfort...it really help me grasp a handle on my emotions. this is not the only time...whenever i am having trouble, i look to certain tracks...i'm positive other people do this as well...
and it helps.
i am just facinated by the fact that different tones and beats can help your emotions travel a specific way...

its almost like a subliminal message...tellin u to feel a certain way... but it does kinda vary from person to person...

it's about chord changes.
chords are important because they fuck with your feelings.
why? dunno. thought about that many a time. why specific waveforms and chords sound "good" when they are harmonious while others sound "bad"
anyway, Lange vs Gareth Emery- Another You, Another Me is kicking my ass right now
i just think it's insane how beats can control brain patterns...anyone with psychological educational opinions would be greatly appreciated right now.

It's because vibrations at specific frequencies stimulate our xitrusk gland back and forth through aural exhibitors in the ear that bend and sway with the ear drum as it dips back and forth. They remind us of the sweet caress of the great magnet at the very centre of all things - that thing we knew before we arrived on the oceans of Europa thousands of years ago. Through the sheath in the pineal gland located just beneath the xitrusk membrane, hive memories passed on through our genes have sung to us through space frequencies resonating throughout the universe since the big bang - this is why you see static on your television on the earliest channels. Anyways, we like music for the same reasons we often dream of flying - because, just as somewhere in our evolution, we were birds; somewhere in our evolution, we existed as beings of pure energy - inertial and entropic to a degree beyond current comprehension no I'm just kidding, or am I?
