How Does Music Help You?

[Heather Shay]

I find when I need it and even when I don't think I do, music brings peace and comfort. How about you? If so - is there a specific artist or style or something you wouldn't have suspected would help you?

So, music is amazing for me. It helps me express my emotions by choosing what I listen to. When I am sad or depressed, I listen to a lot of Linkin Park or Ethan Jewell, as it fits my emotional state that I am in. When I am feeling better, I have here recently really gotten into listening to P!nk. She is an amazing artist that has a lot of profound subject matter in her music. I still will listen to Punk Rock, Rock, and Metal when I am feeling good as well, I am just slightly pickier here as of late when it comes to it.

Depends on my mood. Black Sabbeth, Ramstein, Madness. I have eclectic tastes. I was listening to the lyrics of Save your tears by the Weekend the other week and I burst out in tears, I did bail on a girl I loved because I was Trans and couldn't tell anyone. That was a decision I've regretted for 21 years now. Midnight on the Millenium

I have music in the background and in my brain most of the time.   Even though I grew up in the 60's and 70's with sex,drugs, and rock and roll,  I was also a rural hippie and married to a Middle-Eastern dancer and I was in a band playing Pagen-Celtic, and belly-dancing style music.   Marijuana and ouzo and dance all night.  I have found that when I am creating art, or something complicated and unique,  I can look at it after days, months, and possibly years later, and play the music in my head that was on while I was creating.

 

   Much Love,

I like synthwave music, I usually have that going for work or when I work out, or some video game soundtracks. I do like mainstream music if it is 80's or older, or Weird Al.

Music is my mind altering drug of choice. When I was working, I used music to help me think. I was system engineer who did a lot software and system troubleshooting. I am one of those math nerds who not understood it but enjoyed it. Music always seemed to go hand in hand with music.

 

I am a triathlete who spends a fair of time swimming, biking and running. Listening to music helps my running and indoor biking workouts seem easier. There are headphones for swimming, but I never felt the cost worth it.

Most of the time music in general helps me relax. I have listened to music going to sleep for years. yet my wife doesn't like it. so sometimes I don't listen. For a few years It was hard rock LOUD that helped when I was upset. AC/DC cranked up.
