They say music is the food for soul. Well I am not a music lover, however my dad’s old collection of ABBA and few bollywood classics have always been my all time favourite.
When I was working, I loved listening to music so I can avoid the distractions. But the best time for me to listen to music is when I run or take a walk. I love running but sometimes, I need motivation and instant energy which would push me to go on.Music helps me achieve that. A soft and slow music/song is ideal when I wish to clear my mind and take a walk around. But bass helps in running.
There are always three stages after a problem/failure. Denial, heart break and finally coping up. It applies in all downfall.At every point of life, we either win or lose. Winning and losing are two sides of a coin. Any happy and lively music of your taste and choice will cheer you when you are happy, even the worst lyrics can sound pleasing. But when is loss, lyrics become your only friend which understands your pain. It almost seems they were written for you, oh wait, these are the words from your head!
I am human too… I have few songs in my playlist which has never been removed and I don’t see them out of my pink ipod. I may grow out of a problem but then fall in another, now this is life. But I don’t grow out of these songs.
When in first stage of denial.
I love heart breaking songs. Well I don’t normally listen to english songs in this phase but of course Bollywood/Indian songs by Lata Mangeshkar are my favourites. She can make me cry with her voice and words.
Second stage: heartbreak
“Everybody has to hold on Hope, It’s the last thing that’s holding me.”
Seriously this song not only gives me the hope its promises in the lyrics but also the motivation to be patient.
Third Stage: coping up
I have earlier written about this song (see my earlier posts), but honestly is there anyone who doesn’t like this song?
“Let it Go”
We can’t carry everything with us. Joy and sadness prevail forever. Don’t glorify your success while melancholy is not going to change what happened.Best is to let go and live in the present.
These are my favourites. Do let me know, what are your favourite songs.Do you like music? Or are you like me? 🙂

You say that you’re not much of a music lover, but you have such strong attachments and connections to music. You speak about it like one who loves it.

This is such a cute blog theme! Sorry I had to comment – I’m a HUGE fan! I love the worm that follows you as you scroll. =)
Now for the piece! Great thoughts – I am like you. I don’t have an overly close relationship with music and I struggled a lot with this challenge for that reason.
Well done!

ABBA? Ah, yes! One of my favorites. Not much of [stage] performers (I think), but I can feel the love they have (not just among themselves, but more substantially on what they’re doing—be it singing or playing/making the music). And that alone, would surely spark something inside. 🙂
