I'm one of those ridiculous people who feel deeply emotional around so many kinds of music, I kind of have to avoid some of it if I want to remain functioning..but I'm also unfortunately drawn to the kind of stuff that rips your heart out with its tenderness or darkness or passion...like Mozarts Requiem the Lacrymosa section, and Chopin's piano concertos 1 and 2 (after I listened to them for the first time I remember thinking why would I ever want to listen to any other music ever again because they were powerful beyond belief for me) and my favourite album of all time is Pink Floyd's The Wall. I try to lighten up with the Beatles which is about the only music collection I've got, but even if I think I'm safe with something like Abba for some light hearted relief I end up blubbing over Chiquitita or something...
Seriously it is a major problem I remember spending some time with my brother and sister in law I was sitting in the back of the car we were driving to dinner somewhere and he stuck a Mariah Carey c.d on, not my cup of tea, but he liked it, and within about 30 seconds tears pouring down my face mascara everywhere...he's just tapping his fingers on the steering wheel humming along and i'm thinking whats wrong with you, are you numb? And he's thinking, what's wrong with her is she crazy? Lol! or the dentists waiting room where i'm tryin to reduce my nerves and they have the radio on...over sensitivity is a real prob at times, these are not negative emotions just overwhelming ones, something can be so beautiful you can't contain it! But it can work too if you want to use music in a cathartic way...so that's the challenge then to find some neutral music. But if its neutral, do i want it? Nope, it has to make me feel something!
So film can be an overwhelming powerful experience with that whole combination of everything going on! Takes me weeks to recover!lol

i have repacked my care package for you, and there is LOTS of stuff on cds i burned for you, ipod compatable. also, on itunes look up H.I.M. for wicked game ( the goth version mara found on youtube). and chris issac's baby did a bad, bad thing. the sopranos theme song is great too.

I LOOOOOOOOOVE MUSIC,

i love Matallica, Gun s and Roses, Anastasia................

whan I am cleaning the house I used to listen disco music - to have a feeling of cleaning speed.lol

I denied myself the sacred pleasure of music for a long time, but I´m slowly returning to the fold.

I love all kinds of music too, including folk from all over... but I hate flamenco (I know, I know). I have a soft spot for soundtracks. Went from Mozart to Philip Glass as a teen. Lately I dabble in jazz and blues.

When I´m sad, even a commercial jingle will make me sob. When I want to get my spirits high, salsa is the answer to my prayers. When I´ve got to clean the windows... the Stones usually lend me a little hand.

all kinds of music. my taste is ecclectic, to say the least. from rockabilly to jaz to blues to folk music to some selective rap to some selective country, etc. i tend to like the older stuff. music can change my mood, but what affects me the most are the songs which stir my emotions or memories. it is possible to feel 18 again if the right song comes on. or 9 years old if it is josie cotton. bob dylan, the ramones, jerry lee lewis, tom petty, hank williams, sr. erykuh badu, patricia barber, dianna washington, willie nelson, ac/dc, the gourds, the KING, maria mckee, the list goes on and on. today is a patricia barber day :)

Music moves me in a way like nothing else can.  From the first notes of a piece, I can be crying hysterically or happy as a lark.   It is an elixir for the soul.

Cool find Mara.
