Do you choose music according to your moods? Or will any music do?  email this discussion to a friend?

I think music is one the beautiful things in life available to us. I do choose what to listen to according to my mood. If I am sad, for instance, I might listen to sad songs as a way to express how I am feeling. Songs often say it better than I can. Or, I might choose "happy" music to try to chase away the sadness. Peppy music is good for when I'm cleaning house, and relaxing music for when I am feeling tense.
How about you? Do you choose music according to your moods? Or doesn't that play a role? If it does, what music do you listen to, depending on your mood?Karen

for cleaning house, its disco music, long car trips its something that i grew up listening to that i know all the words and can sing along with the cd. there is no kind of mood in this world that would make me want to listen to gospel or rap! i'd rather listen to silence than that 'stuff'! LOL

LOL, yes, sometimes no music is far better than bad music. You've reminded me of how music can keep one company on a long car trip : ))

Hi there!

I generally like RnB but I also listen to different kinds of music depending upon my mood. When I'm happy or when I feel down, I listen to RnB to magnify my happiness or to lift my moods up. When I feel like reminiscing, I listen to old songs, the ones that I grew up listening to, mostly rock, metal and some pop. When I am overwhelmed with love and wants to add even more sweetness to it, I listen to ballads. And when I'm just hanging out with my younger cousins and sisters, some pop/rock band music is what we listen to.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

I love the choices with which you've matched your moods. R&B is great, using it just as you described. And nothing magnifies love like a great ballad.

Thank you for responding : )

I love music. When I am in the car I almost feel like I can't breathe if I don't have music playing. I choose my music for the way I want to feel. If I am sad I listen to peppy or inspirational music to cheer me up. This especially helps when I don't feel like exercising because I can't not move when I hear certain songs.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

I agree! Some music just begs us to move. It works that way even with toddlers and babies. Thank you for the input : )

i don't know why i am only like listening to the old song and always thought that the old song is best,i took few time to listen new song or pop song,i always choose those old song to sing when we were in ktv and the song of the style were sad tune.lol:)is it strange for me ?


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

No, that isn't strange at all. I believe that our youth is probably the most carefree time in our life, so it makes sense to go back to the music we loved then. It makes us remember how good we felt at the time, and helps us feel better even now. : )

I actually really love just listening to anything. At anytime. No matter what my mood, I seriously don't care. XD


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

So you are a music lover. Period. And that is great! Music is a blessing. I do not dislike all of any genre. There is some good music in each one.

Thank you for responding to the discussion. : )

No, I don't choose "according" to my mood. I usually listen to rock, emo, alternative, jazz, and instrumental music. Rock music fires me up. It's like giving me a positive energy. I like listen to jazz music because it's kind make my body sway. 'Doesn't matter if I'm sad, happy or mad. I like listening to music.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

It sounds as though, yes, you just love music, especially the up-beat kind. : )
Music does help each day and night go better.

Yes. I choose music according to my mood. Any music can please me when I'm in a happy mood. When I'm so depressed, divine music helps me a lot. In times of worries, patriotic songs, and a traditional music of India(Chendai Melam) help me come out of it!


myLot reputation of 95/100. beachstarz (908)  3 years ago

What I listen to depends on my moood and what I'm doing at the time.
House cleaning takes a different type of music then doing a painting .
Or a party takes a different type then relaxing in the hammock with a iced tea.
If you are swimming in the pool on a hot summer day , you don't listen to the same music you listen to on a rainy afternoon.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

Jevin, I do the same. Either the music reflects my mood, or I choose a type to change my mood. : )


Karen


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

Beachstarz, I agree. Certain kinds of music just seem to go better with certain moods and activities than other kinds : ) I pick accordingly, as you do.

i have music that motivates me all the way from the time that i get out of bed all the way through the day. i have music that i play on my ipod when i am cooking, then some travel music when i run errands and there is also music that i play when i am working. most of it is metal, sometimes my moods do influence what i listen to. if i am sad i listen to melancholic music to match my mood.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

Different music for different parts of your day--I like that. And sometimes the melancholic music helps us express when we feel sad. I do that, too. : )

The type of music i listen will vastly depend on my mood. If i'm stressed i love listening to music rap or jazz and when i'm at a peacful state of mind i love soft songs.Well my all time favorites are lie Frozen from Madonna and Whenever Wherever of Shakira and a few regional songs :)


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

I think this is why most people have such a wide variety of music. It's to suit or change our moods. I like Madonna, too, and Evanescence, and a million others.

Thank you for your input : )

Most of the time i'm listeneing to music on the radio, especially when driving. As such i do not get to choose the kind of music. But when i do get to listen to music on my own, then i normally choose the type of song depending on my mood.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3480)   ranked 175 out of 8,288 in listening to music  3 years ago

The radio offers variety, though. There are some stations I like more than others, depending on the type of music. And like you, when I have the option, I pick what suits my mood. I do keep some favorite Cds in the car. : )

I appreciate you responding to the discussion.
