Music


               I believe that all music is contextual. When you are felling happy you play a happy song. But when you feel sad you play a sad song. It always seems like when I am angry nothing can shake my anger so I play heavy metal. And when I hear other types of songs I just get even angrier. That is the same for all the other moods. When someone is in a neutral mood however; normally one would be put in a mood of which the music they are listening to. For example, if somebody listens to classical they become relaxed and calm.
                People change their music to what they want people to see them as. I do not; I still listen to the same music that I listen to in or out of public. People who try to hide what they listen to will listen to the normal popular music and then in private jam out to all the music that they don’t want people to judge them on.
                Music for me sparks memories that pull emotions from nowhere. For example, when I hear the song I Like it Like That by Hot Chelle Rea brings up the memory of back home driving with the window down chilling with the radio on, and talking to my girl. Music is a way to view memories and my most vivid memories are the ones that involve music. Music is the gateway to many things.
