“”"Thank God, I made it
A beautiful wife with a killer smile
An S-Class Mercedes
When I look in the mirror, it says I’m the greatest
I’m the boss, they call me CEO, it was only a matter of time
VIP in the industry, everybody loved my shine”"”

The above are the intro to the song by “Kanji Mbugua-Dream again” .watch video at end of this post


The above are the intro to the song by “Kanji Mbugua-Dream again”

which open us to our we talk about music,

What music do you listen to when you are happy? What music do you listen to when in love? What songs do it for you when you have a broken heart,when you are at party e.t.c?

Which is that one song that when you hear you cant help but dance along or it takes you to that place of missing someone inn your life?

According to the Psychology Press, music is a complex acoustic and temporal structure that induces a large variety of emotional responses in listeners. Music can make you high. Music can make you sad. Listening to and playing music alters how the mind and body functions.

Movie makers are masters of using music to enhance the emotional experience of viewers. The kind of music played at horror movies is different from that played in happy flicks. The kind of music played in different scenes in movies creates suspense.Great soundtracks like that of the Titanic movie, works wonders to connect with viewers on an emotional level. One of my favorite movies of all time is Armageddon, featuring Bruce Willis. The soundtrack for that movie (Aerosmith – I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing) is just but a good example. I love it.

Churches use uplifting music during worship. Cheering squads use music to feel an emotional high and to support their teams. Beer drinkers have an array of beer songs that help them have more fun and feel good. Mourners use music to connect with each other and help in the grieving process. Music has been used for generations in various cultures to enhance and communicate emotional states.

Depending on your emotional state, you may be able to find solace in music. Having a music collection for various occasions is a good way of controlling your emotions and getting more out of life. Unfortunately, I cannot prescribe what kind of music you should listen to for what emotional state. Music is a very individual thing. Various countries have different tastes in music. We have readers from more than 100 countries on this blog so I cannot presume to have the fix for everyone.

Summary

Songs can be used at various points in the emotional roller coaster that we call life. What kind of songs do you listen to? What kind of emotions does music bring out in you? I would love to hear your comments. Please share with other readers, any YouTube Clips or links that you love, and describe what emotions it helps you cope with or communicate.

For me, music is indispensable. Whatever I do, there's always some music playing in the background. I have often gone to extreme lengths just to get to listen to my favorite piece. Funny thing though, having been blest with two left feet, I wouldn't dance if my life depended on it.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Music has been known to condition you willing-fully or unwilling-fully. It is easiest to convince you of a myth/fictitious info using music, all I need is to package it in very moving music and your guard will be down.

Am not surprised at the level of perversion in our society in this time. If you can trace where it all begun, music must have been the pioneer of immorality in this time and age. Now it is being played in almost radio station like it were nothing.

From my experience of music, it is the master key that conditions you to whatever the creator of the piece of music intended you to become or eventually believe. It has unbelievable yielding power. YOu can even learn a foreign language in your sleep .......I think. So I choose what I listen to and steer clear of what I don't.

Music will always be there, but the ideas of the musicians will always vary. What are they about?

What are we about?

Was there music in Africa before we were 'assimilated'?
