The music in Movies / TV, the manipulation is so overdone & Cliched. (For most things).
"Nowadays music is a lifestyle choice. The music is supposed to represent who you are as an individual." Couldn't care less. In my opinion (only) most Folks nowadays live a very Lemming Like existence. So for many of them, it may be true. They are…

"Nowadays music is a lifestyle choice. The music is supposed to represent who you are as an individual." Couldn't care less. In my opinion (only) most Folks nowadays live a very Lemming Like existence. So for many of them, it may be true. They are mostly all Joiners, believers, etc. So they seem to listen to what they are told to.
Personally I have never thought Politics or Lifestyle when I listen to something. I think that is ridiculous. I listen to Music because - whatever it is - because I like it. It may be new, original, astounding. It has nothing to do with how I live. Or whether it is "Approved" & Popular.
And sorry - when I am abducted, or walk up to an alien or Grayman ... personally I would never suggest Bach (or anything like it) as wonderful as it may be.
Amen and amen. My life does not need "background" music. I can eat in silence or while engaging in conversation. I can wash my hands without Vivaldi or electronic pulses in the background, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
I read a Musician's forum regularly. There is a Thread in it most days: What are you listening to ... Right now ! My comment: Nothing. I didn't get any likes.
The thing that gets me is sometimes a tune moves in and plays for awhile, maybe 30 choruses or so, and I wonder what triggered it and eventually I notice the lyric has a phrase that I heard offhand in some real-life context maybe 4 hours earlier, and there it is, front and center in my mind, like a little cosmic joke. Sometimes the jokes are in languages other than English, and it takes a little longer for me to get the punchline. Like the time I had 'La Vie En Rose' floating along, the French lyric kinda forcing itself on me, and I suddenly realized it was playing on the fact that hours earlier I'd been watching a stage of the Giro d'Italia, wherein the lead rider wears a pink jersey – la Maglia Rosa...this kind of stuff happens to me all the time.
Yeah, maybe so, tho I like to think that if evil aliens scanned my brain, in my last pre-oblivious moment I'd transfer all my music files straight into their lobes, and press 'Play'. Then just watch them slowly lose all sense of time, place, self, meaning...

I've also been listening nothing for for several weeks. It's become the soundtrack to my life; no drama.
Yes
I can't NOT listen to music. It plays constantly in my head. Between that and the tinnitus I get no silences.
I don't have tinnitus but like a friend said, "I have a 100 yr. jukebox in my head."
Huh. Yeah, pretty close...

My muse isn't that elaborate. I hear only in English, but similar effects take place. In the meantime, I think were infringing on Ted's page.

Music for the Win!
