People will ask me what my favorite song is. In truth, I don’t have one. It’s a lot like asking you what your favorite
food is. It changes with your tastes at
the current time. I like different songs
when I’m happy, sad, angry, depressed, driving during the day, driving during
the night, with my wife, with my kids, and so on. Songs can affect your mood as well. For example, if I’m in a really awesome mood
I don’t want to hear Phil Collin’s “In the Air Tonight.” It’s a great song but a total buzz-kill. Likewise; if I’m down I might want to listen
to Bob Marley’s “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.” It’s hard to be in a bad mood when listening
to reggae. In general, though, I think
we, as humans, like to match the mood of our music to our mood at the
moment. Whatever the fire is that’s
burning within us at a particular time; we like to feed it more of the same. If your happy, some Beach Boys never hurt. If someone does you wrong, “In the Air
Tonight” is sounding pretty good. Music
plays a big part in many of our lives.
That’s great. Just don’t let it
control your life. You choose your
mental state. Don’t let music choose it
for you.
