Music is for everyone, you may not be trained to sing or know how to read sheet music, but the minute that one song you love comes on the radio you blurt out those tunes like a drunk teen on karaoke night. But what makes music so fundamental to everything we do?
The reason I'm writing this today is mainly because for the last few days all that I've done has been organized through song. My nap times are playlists that start with soothing songs and lead to songs that wake me and pump me up. My shower times, study times, play times, everything. So what is it about music that gives you the ability to integrate it?
Music affects us all, it may affect us in different ways, but it will always have a side effect. It gives you a rhythm for your life. A soothing one if you want to relax, a hyper one to get excited, something with a steady beat to keep you focused. Nowadays music is more accessible than ever, whether through the internet, your ipod, the radio, a musical instrument or a that one teddy bear someone gave you years ago for valentines that sings "That's Amore" while wearing a tiny chefs hat. Music is all around you, but since this is an internet blog, why don't I give you some tools to listen to and share your music?
- Stereomood
This website takes songs and organizes them not by name, but by the emotion that they convey, giveing you songs that match the mood you are in. Whether you want to relax, chill out, or you just woke up, this website has something for you.
- Pandora
Internet radio at its finest. You need to sign up for this one but its worth it. Choose an artist and it sill start playing music by that artist, but it will also suggest songs by other artists that match the style of the one your listening to. Many of the bands I love today I heard first on Pandora so it hold a spot in my heart.
- Mix Pod
This website is pretty straight forward, if you like a band, search for it and make a playlist.now your playlist will be available to others just as their playlists are available to you. Its a nice playlist creator with a good selection of music and some nice forums, definitely worth checking out.
- 8Tracks
8 tracks is my favorite on this list, it is a combination of all of the aforementioned websites, but dont just take my word for it, go check it out. The playlists are available to anyone, you just gotta look. Looking for music to study to? they've got a playlist. Something to freshen up your day? Go ahead, someone has made a playlist with that purpose. Maybe you're just looking to listen to some blues, then look at the blues playlists that have been created, or make your own. What i like most about 8 tracks is that you see what other people meant to do with the songs you are listening to. You see the purpose they had in listening to those songs, giving you a whole new perspective on music you already love.
SO there, go forth and listen my child, and enjoy everything the world of music has to offer to you.
