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.
