Music

Why Music?
I often amaze myself about the effects of music on my soul. It can amplify your feelings, in my case anger and sadness, but in the same time it can soothe. What would music be, other than an expression? It is a large part of your personality, so I doubt if it is random. So maybe it applies directly on your feelings, and not the other way around.
My thought on this is that maybe Music is a dream that a person has the dream to have the feeling that is within the song to be free. If I am angry but I can’t talk (or scream) to someone about it, I always listen to stuff like Linkin Park, or Limb Bizkit, and I scream as loud as I can in my head, and it helps to lower the emotion.
So maybe I am right, because Music also makes people happy or relaxed when they are aggravated or angry. A lot of music that I listen to makes me happy, or at least active. For instance, Frank Sinatra always makes me swing a bit, be it in my head or physically.
The strange thing about it is that music doesn’t sound as good if I don’t have the mood for it. If I am not in the least happy (Not unhappy if I’m not, but I’m just not “happy”) it is unlikely that Frank Sinatra appeals to me.
When I don’t feel anything in particular, I mostly listen to Trance, if I am calm, or Dance, if I have energy to spare. Both styles improve my concentration for some reason, but I can’t put my finger on the why.
Oh, cross that last sentence, I think that I can! Trance and Dance are mostly really fluid music styles, and my thinking should be fluent if I want to concentrate. Listening to Linkin Park while writing this isn’t a good idea, as I just reasoned that Trance and Dance are the best for me to concentrate with, but heck, I’m almost done anyway.
What I am curious about is how you can define a person’s personality by looking at every piece of music that he listens to, but what about the things that he will like but he never discovered?
