Music Tastes...

1. When you listen to music, what feelings/emotions does it evoke?
When I listen to music, I start to feel relaxed, no matter what style of music it might be. Hardcore music relaxes me but makes me think more than any other style...Really, any style of music with meaningful, deep and true lyrics will make me feel contemplative and calm.
2. What is your favorite song? Why? Is it connected to a certain time, event, or place?
I wouldn't be able to tell myself I have a favorite song, because there are so many songs that I really enjoy. Why? I enjoy so many songs, because I can easily relate them to certain people, and the way I feel when I listen to the songs is something good rather than bad. Although things may not work out with friends or significant others, music can always bring me back to when we were on good terms.
3. How has your taste in music changed over the years?
I grew up listening to hardcore metal kind of music, but now I rather enjoy the softer, more calm music. The music I listen to all depends on my mood in the moment, and if I don't have a certain mood then the music will make me feel something eventually. I also grew up to country (my parents are divorced so the music was split)
4. Why do you gravitate towards certain types of music? Why do you think you dislike certain types of music? (influences, history, parents)
I think I gravitate towards certain types of music because of the meaning I put behind each sound or spoken word. I dislike certain types of music because pointless things said through horrible instrumentals just upsets me. Why would someone release a horrible song, knowing that it isn't the greatest? Lame.
5. Do your friends listen to the same styles of music as you? What do you think this means?
My friends actually do listen to the same styles of music as me. I think this means we have a lot of similar tastes and interests; not just in music. By liking the same style, it shows that the instrumentals, the lyrics, the voice and the vibe the music gives off is liked by us and I enjoy knowing that.
6. Without music, the world would be...
Without music, the world would be silent, numb and almost careless in my opinion. Music is a major part of my life.
