House, Electronic Dance Music, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Pop. Those are all good. Makes you keep hitting the ground with you're feet in sync with the beat. Your soul feels free.For those minutes of loud, uncontrolled sounds that feels like hours of liberation and joy.
This is the music of my time. But I seem to have my ears stuck in another time.
The 1940s to the 1960s. Yes, I know it's old, ancient even, but it makes me feel so young. It actually makes me feel like the me that not even I see all the time. A me that fits somewhere. When I fit, I feel I can be better. Feel like I can get what seems impossible done. I'm not that person scared of the world and the tasks thrown on me when those songs come on.
Romantic of course, but I love how slow the rhythm is, the way the singers sang. Clear and at an easy pace. Letting each word sink in. Leaving me room to dream between each trumpet sound and be carried away on the strings of the violins. I become the muse of the song, feel what the singer paints with his/her words. Images of black and white, red flowers, being sang to a top a balcony, seeing the lights and the white moon on the streets of Italy. Being brought back to a past of romance, dancing, and fun that aren't even from my own memories.
Great pieces of simple and relatable writings being sung with such originality. Small words but the words they choose are pieces of personality and truth. Little details that go so deep with its versatility. What was felt at that moment, you and thousands of people still feel too. Forever or for a day, the exact same way.
No stress, no loss of control. Since it's away from this time, it's easier to get away from the world.
They say you go back to the past when you're afraid of the future, but hearing the music from the past makes me feel stronger for what may come.
All is possible and I am capable.
How can I feel angry listening to this? it's like it pushes off the angry button, almost like a lullaby. Maybe, just maybe, I may feel a little dizzy from all the dreams but when I take those headphones off and come down, I'm refreshed and at peace with all.
It fits me, and I fit in it. My earmate.
Music is definitely a gateway into calmness and being in your own world. I feel like it does transform everything around us and can change our moods drastically. Music has become so essential to our lives that without it life would be a lot less interesting
