Music
Yep…fairly plain title. Well...its only gonna be a short blog post anyway.
Its strange how music can mirror your emotions and tell your story. In my experience, happy music can appear sad if Im in a sad state of mind and if Im in a good mood, Ill usually want to turn off sad music, in a "lifes too short" kind of way. In the same way that your mood can influence your thoughts and outlook, you can listen to songs at different stages of your day/week/life and have them mean different things. You can read a "deeper" meaning into certain songs if you are sad and really paying attention, but what might float by you if in a good mood.I guess thats what people talk about when they talk about talented songwriters...they have a sense of the universal themes that people might be going through, and then its easy for us to mirror ourselves in the lyrics, instrumentation etc.
Hm...not sure I explained that well, but there it is. Expecting me to give an example of a song Im referring to? Nah...to many to mention ;)
