What do you feel?


A friend who caught a bit of the audio bug from me asked me what I felt when I listened to music. I was taken back by the question because I didn’t know. I told him that I was relaxed when I listened to music. I didn’t think that was a good answer but I couldn’t think of any other. After a few days I came to the conclusion that I what I often feel is a sense of gratitude when I listened to music. I feel gratitude to be hearing the performance so well. It is if I was rich and had the best musicians in the past and present to perform at my pleasure.

What do you feel?

music appeals to the head or the heart.

i find some music a catalyst to thinking and problem solving, while other music appeals to the emotions.
many things but my favorite is "connected". one constant of modernity is alienation. i love the irony that technology can be a part of finding meaning in things that afford some beauty to life.
Bob,
I agree with you, i feel relaxed. Music is the only thing that gets me into another state, that is of relaxing. It also brings me back to certain places and people in time. Like a time machine, some songs sent me to different girls i went out with others to different times, and people, or events in my life. I could not live with out music. So enjoy the music while you can, nobody gets out of here alive per Jim Morrison..............
I find the beauty of the music very healing and it makes me soul-connected to listen rather than in my head. I can use music to celebrate a good mood or change a bad mood into good. The power of beauty to heal is profound. Music was even able to reach me after my brother's suicide, when very little could get trough the grief.
