What are you listening to?

In general, I like classical art, flowing lines, flowing sounds, melodic progressions in music, etc. Maybe this says something about me and my connection to the Cs? Maybe other peoples' liking for "Metal" music and other sound types/progressions says something about their issues too? So, trying to do more than just share on this thread might create false impressions?

I agree that a lot can be said about a person due to what they like, (to like something I guess is to recognize some of it inside one self)
Though I think sometimes music can be like a theater play, or a circus performance, talking about something that is a parody of something that one has observed (inside or outside one self), and so one think it is funny.....If I for example listen to heavy metal, it makes me giggle the same way as this excellent scene from Lilo and Stitch, so my mood will be more as the laughing audience than the "aaaggggghhhh, haaaaate, destroyyyyyy" that the music "says":

I like some metal music, I think because I can be inspired by the power and strength in it. It reminds me of nature; storms, mountains, forces at play. Maybe it's related to ones' surroundings; I read somewhere that the northern countries have a disproportionally large fraction of the population who like metal music. Maybe it's a climate thing, that the cold dark winters look as metal music sounds.
I remember the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan explain that he thought that his style of playng with his band came from the sounds of industry; steam trains, oil pumps and the like, machines that had a repetitive rythm to it.
 
Before I was in to:

country, heartbreaking songs and singer like Lara Fabian or Julio Iglesias ( :-[ ), something that brings me sad memories (my program of suffering is maybe the biggest in me, runs in the family).
Also, because I was thinking that I'm so spiritual - native Indian music and Enya and Enigma.

Now I cannot feel a food, music, people, so work is in progress and this thread is very precious (ooooh my preciousssssss) because I can search my new music to love from your lists.
 
In response to music types and 'reading' into the authors' intent, I posit it is yet another variation of nature.

Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll

Let the stories be told
They can say what they want
Let the photos be old
Let them show what they want

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll-oll
Won't you let the good times roll

Good times roll

If the illusion is real
Let them give you a ride
If they got thunder appeal
Let them be on your side

Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll-oll
Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
Won't you let the good times roll
Well let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Ooo let the good times roll
Let 'em roll (good times roll)

Well, let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll)
Well let the good times roll
Good times roll
(Let the good times roll)
Let the good times roll
Let 'em roll

Having said that, perhaps a different thread could be opened to analyze music and talk about "objective music" and such and just leave this one alone for simple sharing.

I agree completely, music analysis - analysis of personality perhaps?
Music and personality I think are closely related

With that in mind maybe we should just specify no comments so we just sample the music? I'm OK either way. I don't see much in the way of comments except sporadically here and there.

P.S.

This could be a kind of "mood ring" (an old popular ring that changed colors from body heat that was supposed to show the mood of the wearer) of music for how we are feeling from time to time.

Two living legends from Africa, representing the male & female vocal tradition, in the beautiful acoustic music style from Mali.

Thanks, Darek for a new flavor of music. I play mostly on a classical style guitar and the one pictured in the video is a modern version that uses nylon strings but has a distinctive sound. The voices, rhythms seem so balanced and calm but stay interesting with improvisation of the instruments.

Thank you Darek, this is so very beautiful. I love folk music, guitars and choirs. African melodies are magical. :flowers:

My favorite folk singer is our Siberian artist Pelagea, here is a version with English subtitles, hope you like it too:

I have mixed feelings about this thread, frankly. The subject IS "What are you listening to" and is basically an invitation for everyone to share a slice of their immediate life, i.e., what are you doing at the moment? It also gives me a little insight into any given individual that I can compare to the several remarks the Cs have made about music/sound. For example, if a person writes that they are having certain issues in their lives, I may quickly check over their posting history and find an entry here that adds perspective so that I can better help them.

Cool :) in that case, I like a little bit of almost everything, except metal. I actually love r'n'b the most. Especially the r'n'b songs by females in the industry that give me a sense of empowerment. Also (obviously), I really enjoy songs similar to the two that I've posted on this thread (9 Crimes & Collapse The Light Into Earth).

This would have to be one of my absolute favourites at the moment..

Jarryd James - Do You Remember.

When did we lose our way?
Easier to let it go.. (mmm..)
So many can't tell anybody
Harder to let you know...

Call me when you've made up your mind but you won't
Caught up in the way that you played my heart
If only love could ever hit this hard

Oh, don't be scared about it
Don't forget it was real..
Do you remember the way it made you feel?
Do you remember the things it let you feel?

How do I make you stay..
When it's easier to let you go?
Nobody knows what we know about it
No one needs to know

Call me when you've made up your mind but you won't
Caught up in a way that you played my heart
If only love could ever hit this hard

Oh, don't be scared about it
Don't forget it was real..
Do you remember the way it made you feel?
Do you remember the things it let you feel?

When you love to your limit
You gave all you're given
Who you gonna pray to when you're there?
Will you find out that there ain't no other love
No other love for you

Oh, don't be scared about it
Don't forget it was real..
Do you remember the way it made you feel?
Do you remember the things it let you feel?

Oh, when you think about it
Do you remember me?
Do you remember the way it made you feel?
Do you remember the things it let you feel?

Yeah, this one is among my favorite too. I was so lucky to be present at one of her latest live concerts, which are very rare and it's hard to get a ticket. When all the tickets were sold people asked to sell them some with no places to sit, so they were just standing all the concert long for several hours - many many people. And after the concert nobody wanted to let her go so she sang again and again for us. Here is this concert which I visited:

A sample that not all metal is about being angry and want to destroy:


https://youtu.be/UQhzL13ub6s

We know that it's only human
We know that it's only love
We know that its far too close to home
To see it now

Love all we can before
We learn all we came for
Learn all we can before
The road leads to home

(.........................)

My child tells me
We are the fallen men
My child tells me
We are the fallen men

Laugh, love, live, learn
Laugh, love, live, learn

Finnish metal:


https://youtu.be/FWu9fxm-0rg

Lyrics:

Now I'm a grey old ghost
Weeping in winter trees
And searching for a soul
Waiting for a voice to come

She was worth dying for
It is my severed woes I cry
Her eyes were pale like dawn
Out of this gloomy light

I'll wait there forevermore
The light holds us forever more
Still one second I wouldn't give away
Cold winter nights, I cry on your grave
Why won't you come?
Why won't you come?

As she is dying in the snow
The moonlight silently glows
Her tears flow down her cheek
When snow falls from the trees

I'll wait there forevermore
The light holds us forever more
Still one second I wouldn't give away
Cold winter nights, I cry on your grave
Why won't you come?
Why won't you come?

The lyrics are more on the romantic side than hateful to my eyes.
I like the power of the sound in this song, I heard them live some years ago and they were fantastic. It was at a metal festival, and the hotel owner where I stayed commented that there were a lot less fighting and hollering with the metal crowd than with the blues people.
 
Gemini Dreams - Moody Blues
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hW9fADmFrc

vague recall of the C's mentioning that in 4D beings can have a male & female state reminded me of this tune. pulsing tune with stimulating video i think. huge repeat play currently, for another few weeks too I expect


Camera One - Josh Joplin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TipSO1Pta3M

i found this encouraging in staying mindful of being less auto-conforming to others expectations without weighing up things. medium play lately


Good Die Young - Divynils
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKWSDckFUiw

occasional play. (what a time for one to be young .. sheesh)
