Different threads in music

Not particularly related to ASD except that we all seem to love music so much & it's something positive/happy that I thought I'd share:

I sometimes absolutely love paying attention to the bits of music that most people probably don't notice, for example focussing on just the bass guitar, or the hi-hat, or the little twiddles and odd sounds that get thrown into the mix here and there. Sometimes gives me goose bumps.

  • I like all kinds of music, but usually just one or two tracks by any particular group or artist  I have a preference for a strong beat, which can be in anything from Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" to "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin. I can listen to a particular favourite on repeat for days or weeks, at the moment it's "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve.  Often, I can change or enhance an emotion by listening to a particular track, and sometimes I realise that the lyrics are descriptive of feelings I'm having but couldn't articulate.
