Music for me can impact my mood immensely. When I am angry, I like to listen to heavy metal music and it tends to improve my mood. My Road Rage Playlist gets played a lot when I am stuck in traffic. When I am in a really good mood, I like to listen to upbeat pop music or go to my favorite hard rock music. Both improve my mood even more.
At night before bed, I like to have music playing. Some nights I just want to listen to instrumental music – no lyrics as I don’t want to think about anything. I love to play The Piano Guys, 2 Cellos, Lindsey Stirling, or David Garrett. Other nights I will do Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John 5 or other master guitar players. And still others I will play either my 80’s playlist or 90’s playlist. All relax me in different ways, but the end result is the same, I will fall asleep.
Music also makes you feel nostalgic and can take you back to a special time or place. When I hear the song “Panama” by Van Halen I think back to high school and when we took our senior trip to the Redneck Riviera, Panama City Beach, we would also crank up Whitesnake & Def Leppard.
