*Music and emotions*

Hold.Me.X.Thrill.Me · Jul 20, 2006, 05:54 AM

I couldn't think of a good enough title sorry ^^;;

Music is a powerful tool, it can make us feel emotions involuntarily and colour our moods, in addition it can affect our perceptions and generate a behavioural pattern.

So when you listen to music what do you feel?

Music evokes emotions, it is an indisputable fact.. but is there anyone who feels completely neutral to music?

What type of music makes you feel a certain way? For egsample, lullabys can make people feel tired, the soft beat and the repition can lull a child to sleep.

Please share your thoughts ^^

Sorry if this topic has been done before..

I feel pretty neutral to music myself. You can look at the music for movies, video games, anime, little things you pop into your head, and it all seems pretty unemotional to me.

It may remind me of things, familiarity but nothing that really give me an emotion. The dun nu nu nu nu nu from Jaws or whatever just makes me think, hey it sounds like that little thing form Jaws

Music:

I am sorry to say it depends.

All music say what they mean. If its loud, there mad.

I myself like Classical.

On every Movie you watch there is always background Music.

That music makes you feel the Movie.

I guess thats all I can say. ^_^

P.S. Tell me if you need more on Msn. XD

I listen to electronic music... its my fav... u know trance, techno and all that stuff.... when I listen to it... especially when Im at raves... I feel, I dont know how to put it in words... but I feel energetic... forget about everything... or when Im the one mixing music... I just close my eyes and let the music take me away...

and when im listening to dark/goth metal.. I feel deep, like alone... a little bit with something like wrath... but in a way, calm... I dont knoe if that made sence LOL ^^

I hate Rap, RnB, hip hop, electro and dance! I just find it annoying and it gives me a headache!
I like to listen to Green Day or Foo Fighters when doing math! I don't know why! It just helps a lot for some reason!
I like to listen to classical when doing normal study cause it relaxes me!
I listen to Keane, Green Day, Foo Fighters, The Beatles, the Darkness, James Blunt, Oasis, Queen, The white stripes and Snow Patrol in general for unwinding! Thats a weird mix I know and a long list but sorry about that!

I listen to everything, so it really depends on the song,the lyrics, the music, etc. For example... lessee...

Classic lullabies make me calm and at peace, though when I think about some of the lyrics, it kind of makes me feel sad (Rock-a-bye-Baby, Where is Jocha?).

Depending on the intensity and speed, classical music makes me feel from a range of the normal relaxed, comfort, and sad feelings, while others make me feel energetic and annoyed ^^ I have a more techno-y version of beethoven's Fur Elise, for example, and I love to exercise to it - it makes me want to get pumped up ^_^
And then there's this piece I remember playing in Orchestra called "Peasants Dance", and while the first movement is happy and fun, when it comes to the slower part, I can't help but remember the classes where the viola section would just sit and listen to violins practice the entire time... got annoying ^^;

Songs where the music overpowers the singer(s) voices tend to make me feel annoyed ^^; Sameway if the singer(s) voices overpower the music.

I think I can think of more specific songs a little later that give more specific feelings (i.e. some Inuyasha ending songs make me feel cold, while others make me feel warm ^^; ).
