Journal Question #15

Let's talk about music.  As I write this, I'm listening to Wilco's "Impossible Germany."  What are you listening to?  (Be specific - don't just say, "pop music," say "Lady Gaga's newest CD" or whatever.)  Tell me why you like your music.  When do you listen to music?  Do you listen to different musicians and singers at different times of day or in different situations?  Has your musical taste changed over time?  Do you prefer to listen to music alone or with other people?  Share your music!

  6. I like to listen to music. I usually listen to songs when I write my homework, and when it's okay. For example, when you are in the car, or when you are running, you can listen to it.There are a lot of my favorite English songs,but I like Roar best, because this songs is my first English songs. The author of this song is kate parry. I don't like her very much, but her song is very nice. I like the melody of this song very much. I like the more lively songs. I seldom listen to sad songs, so songs that resemble the style of this song will appeal to me.

  7. I am a drum player so music is very important in my life and music is also a part of my life. I listen to music for at least three hours a day. For example, I often listen to music when I cooking, taking a bath and doing homework. I always listen to different kinds of songs at different times. When I take a bath, I often listen to some pop music and I listen to some classical music when I do some homework. Music can accompany a person and it also can change a person’s mind. That’s the reason why many people like listening to music.

  10. Music is a really important part of my life. I usually let music stay with me when I doing my homework, doing work out, and when I feels sad. Yoga Lin is my favorite singer he is from Taiwan. Most of music he doing is pop music, and I like him, because his wonderful voice and the words of his songs are really touch a string. But he is not the only singer I listened. The music I listening is usually depends on I’m in which situation. I would like to listen some rock'n'roll music when I have some party with my friends; Some pop music when I doing my homework or doing work out; some light music when I going to sleep.

  11. from Riccardo:

    Music, it’s difficult to say what the music is. The music probably is something that change your humor, it’s
    something that from sad suddenly change your emotions and you become happy.
    Personally I listen music a lot of time, for me music is essential when I’m with friends for a party or for
    many other situations. Who doesn’t have a shower without music? I think few people, because music it’s
    fundamental also for relax and when you are under the dropping of the drops you want to fell yourself
    satisfied and relaxed. So for me music is the best way to begin cheerfully a new day.

  12. from Pepe:

    I like all types of music except for country music, I hate the slow songs. I love to hear music when I’m taking a shower or when I’m doing homework. My favorite type of music is the electronic music, I love to listen to the dj’s, I like the way that the dj’s create their songs and they do a lot of collaboration with other dj’s, it is incredible.

  13. I like to listen to music because it makes me happier. Each song is a strange work of art that cannot be touched. Inspiring music can bring me courage and perseverance. I no longer fear the difficulties before me and move forward with determination. The cheerful music is my joy and happiness. My sad heart gradually fades away; sad songs make me realize the bitterness and pain in the world. Experience the hardships of life; the song of gratitude makes me feel the truth on earth, and the warmth in my heart... What a magical sound the music is, it makes people relish. Music is sometimes flowing like a river, flowing eastwards. It is like a breeze with strange flowers and flowers. It is a chord that can make people feel warm. The string has caused us to resonate with the singer.

  14. There are two kinds of songs that I like to like. One is a love song, and the other is hip hop music. I am a person who likes to listen to songs. Every day I have to listen to songs for at least 3 hours. Every day when I write homework, I will listen to some slow songs. When many students are partying together, we will put some dance music and hip-hop. I think listening to music can ease people's feelings and calm people's minds. This is why so many people like to listen to music.

I would like to listen the music just myself. Because I feel comfortable and relax. The good song from BTS it was “Mic Drop” it is a very popular song in Korea.

  16. Well,I usually listen to music in any situation except the place not allow people to use headphones at all. There is no musician that I am the fan of. But those songs in my playlist are either countryside style or a kind of style I like to describe it like “medieval Europe style”here is a example: “Turn Loose the mermaids” from Nightwish.
    For myself, music is a great way to relax, but not always for those musics I said above, the way of music for me started from classical music, then turned to light music , and finally changed to the music I have been hearing till now.

  17. Personally for me, listening for music is one of the ways of entertainment, or addition to entertainment, ex: listening to music while playing games. And most of the times my “tastes”in music depend more on particular composition itself, rather than on genre or author. Of course my musical taste changed over time, but basically that happened because I have discovered new genres and new types of music. I prefer listening music alone, because 1) I don’t have friends 2) I don’t want to disturb them with my music

  18. I always listen to music while I do coding or doing my homework. It helps me concentrate. I love to listening to old style rock music like "The Ordinary World" and "Killing Moon". I used to like to listen to pure music without any lyrics. But my taste changes over time.

  19. In my mind, everyone should love music. Music make life has more power and happiness. Different people love different types of music. For me, I usually do something with music, so which music I am listening that depends on what I am doing. I like to listen some light musics are really good for studying. When I am doing some work out, I like to listen some hip hop musics. They make me feel more powerful. I don’t have favorite singer, I think every singer has different music.

  21. Music is a part of my life. I am listening to “Flower Dance” by DJ Okawari right now.
    I listen to most kinds of music except for some rap music , some blues music, and some metal music. I sometimes play piano and guitar when I have free time. Thus, most songs I listen to are light music and pop music such as “Mirror Night”(also called “Reflaction”) by V.K and “This Is Me” by Kerala Settle.
    I also like to listen to the music from some very good games.”Light of Nibel” by Gareth Coker from the game “Ori And the Blind Forest” is one of them.
    When I was younger, I listened to the songs my friends listened to. Those songs are usually from a few popular stars with a similar personal style. As I grew older, I start to find songs by myself. Not by how popular they are, but by how beautiful I think they are.
    If I found a good song, I always can’t wait to share it with my friends. I am always happy to share my songs with others.

    Music is part of my life. I often listen to music. I like all Chinese songs and English songs. When I was writing my homework, I listened to songs and listened to songs while I was exercising. I almost listened to music while I was in class. What I like to listen to most is Chinese songs. When I listen, I can feel the emotions in the music. I have a favorite band, May Day. It accompanies me to grow. It brings me happiness. Their songs will always bring me positive energy and will accompany me through my junior high school.

  23. I listen to music anytime, anywhere when I was allowed to use earphones. I believe listening to music can make people concentrate more. For myself. My favorite musics are electronic music, anime and game musics. Be specific. “Stormwind” is one of my favorite. It is the City Theme in the online game World of Warcraft. I like it cuz when I first played this game. This song left a deep impression on me as the City Theme. So when everytime when I listen to this song. It reminded me of the past days in the game. I listen to different music when I in different emotions. Also my musical taste changed over time and it just get widely. And I prefer to listen to music alone.

  24. As I write this, I'm listening to "Fight song". Music is an important part of my life. I listen to the music every day. And I listen to any type of music. I often listen to light music while I am doing my homework, it calms my heart so much. I listen to some pop music when I’m reading. I prefer to listen to music alone. But if both my friends and I have nothing to do, we will turn on the sound and listen to the song that we both like.

  25. When I write this, I was listening one of the “Zephyr Cradle”. It is the name of an author who writes some beautiful pure musics. As you can see, I always listened the pure musics during the time I doing homework. Because these doesn’t have any lyrics can bother me and make my mind follow it. Except this, most of time I prefer to listen to music with lyrics. I love Japanese anime most so I listened and sang a lots of Japanese song. The reason why I love them is just because they make my heart really calm and relaxed. I always listen to music when I walking alone and doing some not important work. I have to say my musical tastes haven’t changed since I was in elementary school. Because I start watching animation since that time.

For me music is part of my life, because I always listen to music, the reason why I listen to music is, it doesn’t let me feel bored, especially during the school day sometime I don’t want to focus on class, so I often listen to music, and wait until the class ends. Also I do listen a lot of different musicians, they has their own color which makes the listener get excited. Also music can make you feel relax if you hear a lot of noises I rather chooseto listen to music instead of staying in a noisy place.

  28. I like minority music. I like the music that can make me think about something. I like listening to music when I am quiet. Cause it can make me totally enjoy the music. Because of the effects of my family, I touched music very early. So I am very strict about choosing a good music. I listen to the new songs every day to choose the song I like. Now the music is more pop style and my favor is becoming minority and minority.

  34. From Fei:

    I would like to listen rap music. It is because my favorite rapper- PG One. He had a hard life before he success, when was a obscure period of Chinese Hip-pop culture. However, A competition for Chinese rapper appeared. It was also a free TV show. He won the game and lead Chinese Hip-pop from underground to popular. His rap music included variable types of rap, like old school and trap. It makes people tend to know more Hip-pop culture, and I am one of them.

  35. Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts on music. Music is clearly universal and important. It strikes me that most of you mention associations with music: people, places, times in your life, video games, anime...Music has an amazing ability to bring forth memories.

  36. I am trying to be specific, but I am listening to so many different types of songs and I really love the smart shuffle function. I don’t have any special playlist for different occasions. All I have is 300 songs in alphabetical order. There are several different types of music in my phone, though. Some are pop music, some are electronic music, but none of them are heavy metal, or rock music. Since I would prefer to listen to music alone, I would like to enjoy a quiet environment which the music I like can provide. My musical taste do change over time, especially when something around me changes(for example my playlist before I came to the United States and the one after I came to the United States have a lot of difference.) And I think most people would feel the same. But because of copyright problems, the App I used to use to listen to music doesn’t offer a really good service here in the United States and that really bothered me a lot. Does anyone have some suggestions in free music Apps which could replace my old one?:)

  39. In people's lives, there will always be some voices coming into our ears. Some of these sounds are sweet and many are arpeggios. Listening to a good piece of music is a kind of enjoyment. The benefits of listening to music can make people eliminate work stress, reduce the pressure of life, avoid various types of chronic diseases, etc. In fact, these are based on medical science. ‍ It has been found in medical research that frequent contact with music festivals and melody will have certain effects on the brain's brain waves, heartbeat, gastrointestinal motility, and nerve induction, and thus promote physical and mental health. The intangible power of music far exceeds the personal imagination, so listening to music and appreciating music is a very common lifestyle adjustment for modern people.

  45. from Greg:

    I don’t have my favorite kind of music, I
    can’t say what I like or esta I hate, because I can hear song and
    will think that I like it. I need one song for running, it should
    be powerful and fast, it should make me full of power, but if I
    want to listen song before sleep it should be slow and calm. It’s
    card to make an example, because I listen Russian songs, sometimes
    rap, sometimes pop. I had changes in my musical taste like year
    ago. When I was 13 years old I liked like children songs, I liked
    funny and stupid songs. Now I can’t go somewhere without my
    headphones and iPhone, every free minute I need to hear
    music

  46. Music plays an important role in my life. I do not have a favor in specific music style. Perhaps I enjoy many different kinds of "good" music for myself. I like to listen to pop music while taking a shower. Jazz is one of my favorite music styles. Sometimes I feel like I should be living back to the "20" century because I enjoy jazz crazily. I am more I prefer listening music along because I sing sometimes while listening. But I don't want others people feel awkward about my sing. Anyway, I think music is one of the most important way for people to relax. And it is also a good way to spread human's culture and ideas.
