have u ever wondered how there’s a music for every mood?!? blues… jazz… rock… metal…. music can give u company in absolutely any mood that you are…
you know… at times when u are feeling glum and dont wanna see anybody or talk to anybody i think music is the only thing that can ever come close to giving sum solace… like if u’ve just broken up with ur girlfriend… its a big thing to go out and tell people that u’ve been dumped or that its over….. but when u listen to some blues… the whole equation change… or like when u’ve just had a big fight or a bad day at office…. a decent maiden or metallica number will make u feel that much better…. and if u’re in a really peppy mood… a house or trance number will make that mood even better…. 🙂
have u ever seen yourself going through the transition of listening to various genres of music…. like when we were in primary/middle school boyzone/bsb/westlife formed the mainstay of our music diet… and then as life progresses into high school … ur music taste changes to a little trendier stuff like robbie williams, bryan adams, aerosmith and those who can actually compose and sing their own music unlike those idiots(boybands) for whom ‘someone writes the lyrics, someone else belts out the music and these losers only sing them’ (surprising as it is… yesterday’s favourites are today’s losers)…. a little later into ur life around 11th-12th…. inclination towards ‘heavier’ side of life occurs… hard rock and metal time… so now it is Metallica, Maiden, Megadeth, Sabbath and so on (and i think this is the best genre of music and some of the best and the most talented musicians are playing under this genre) and a little deeper into this genre would see us listening to the likes of Children of Bodom, Slayer, Cradle of filth until u’re halfway into ur college (engg or degree or whatever else) when u start realising that u’re too mature to listen to "Death" metal, "Thrash" metal and so on… basically those genres where there is so much throating that the band doesnt even have to come up with sensible lyrics (who’d be able to understand these lyrics anyways?!?!)….
and then the music preference cycle starts moving in the reverse direction by the time u graduate out of coll and start working in an MNC or an Global Indian Company…. when u have tons of work pressures…. not much time to take in the belting and the thrashing of death and thrash and thats when u revert back to good old rock…. pearl jam… floyd…. Dave Mathews Band… The Doors and stuff….. and this is like the phase when u wanna listen to all the collegey stuff like heavy metal… but after a hard day at work…heavy metal just doesnt strike the right chord….. and so this is when u realise that life has come a full circle, actually just half a circle cuz u just go back to ‘classic rock’ to accompany u through the last few minutes of the day…………………………..
