What music do you listen too?
Listening to more music helped me massively with managing depression, anxiety and stress in recent months. :) Different genres are good for different moods. I like piano soundtracks, 70s and 80s rock/pop and electronic dance stuff, and I'm always finding new genres I like.
To calm down or study: Trudno Nie Wierzyc W Nic, The Imitation Game soundtrack or other film music
Bass guitar play along: anything by RHCP, Redtenbacher's Funkestra, Vulfpeck, or Dua Lipa
To cheer up or have a mini solo rave: Lighten Up (Parcels), Let's Dance to Joy Division (The Wombats), Atomic (Blondie), Young Turks (Rod Stewart), Punching in a Dream (The Naked and Famous), My Number (The Foals), Maneater (Daryl Hall & John Oates), Steady as She Goes (The Raconteurs)
we probably had the same tape ! very cheery music when cruising along in a car
Yes there so great! :) My dad used to play a tape of there's in his car.
yep i used to listen to ELO ---- i had a best hits tape --- they are so under rated
I listen to lots of different music. My favourite is Disney music but I'm also a big fan of Electric Light Orchestra, my favourite is All Over The World.
One of my old bosses was once Freddie Mercury's personal assistant.
Kashmir would be an amazing, menacing tune if Plant didn't go off on some hippy tangent. Led Zep are awesome...were awesome.
That was a question at my first ASD assessment.....or rather "do you like rock?" I find with hydrocephalus, I don't like any music that gives me a headache.
I'm one of Maddy's backing singers in her Carnival Band format in London. I left the EFDSS CSH Choir over HS2 - it was going to rip the foundations of the building out and all the Chief Exec was doing was designing pretty protest banners. It's still not been moved far enough away not to prove a vibration danger to the recordings and probably building too.
Folk and Folk rock( Pentanfle, Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Martin Carthy, Imagined Village, Ewan MacColl etc), Mediaeval Barnes, Secret Garden, Pink Floyd, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Mussorgski, Brahms, Liszt, Sibelius, Vaughan Williams, Holst, plus many more. Thank goodness for Spotify!
Sorry, Britten died on me when I found myself researching the background and deeper history of The Turn of the Screw. He'd had a flourishing relationship with the Choir of the School I joined a decade later, until he selected one of the trebles for the role of Miles in the premiere at la Fenice. Both claimed to their dying days that they only shared a bed, but the questions raised ended the School's relationship with both. A decade later, there were still traces of a perverted, abusive culture, which we ended by cutting the music teacher completely out of the loop.
Now I know even his Ceremony of Carols was mixed up in it, I look to his epitaph work, the Suite of Folk Songs, and find the theme there too, in his choice of The Bitter Withy. Whatever happened to him to cause it, I don't know, but that was one sick, sick individual.
blimey you're as wide as me 
Stravinsky yes, Gorecki and britten I'll look up so see what they are like
I love Benjamin Britten, Stravinsky, Bach, Mozart, Walton, Vaughan Williams, Demon Hunter, Josh Garrels, Living Sacrifice, Rivers and Robots, Jazz, Funk, Metal, Rock and Irish folk.
aidie seriously good music taste there! I love Baroque and Classical. I love Avro Part. Do you like Stravinsky, Gorecki and Britten? I really love these. I can't work unless I have music especially on my headphones. My head is too busy and music helps calm.
For me it depends on the song rather than the music genre. It also depends on my mood at the time. I listen to a lot of classical music mostly though as it helps keep me grounded and relaxed.
I might have been the breakthrough player on low whistle back in about 1985 or 6. It was created by Finbar Furey to replace a Brazilian bamboo flute someone crushed, Dixons did a trial batch in plastic, I got one, and applied tenor recorder glissing to it. I had it in my pack at the Edinburgh Harp Festival when Paddy Moloney ambled past, asked to sit in, with his eye on the thing, You play?, I fetched it out. Follow me leader for a few bars, which I did with gracing, then into ever more difficult tests, no problem, I'd learned creating seconds to a Jimmy Galway recording, so we were off, me keeping him sharp with true impro, which he really enjoyed because all he gets are the book seconds. About an hour later, I had to go. But it may have been the first time the whistle style from the Lord of the Rings was heard in public.
