Here’s the deal with music – well, EVERYTHING in life. Not everyone responds the same way emotionally. Case in point: there’s a 12 year old genius artist (who has been painting since she was 4) who used to cry when her parents played classical music because it “hurt her ears.”

When I hear a song from my hard rock past, even though it might have less than uplifting lyrics, it might make my heart soar because of the pleasant memories it brings up.

What’s important is that we learn to follow our OWN internal guidance, not any hard and fast rules about what’s supposedly good for us and what isn’t. Everyone’s different!

Having said that, the blues never did much for me either. BUT, sometimes, when I’m down, hearing a song that reminds me I’m not the only one who ever felt this way is very comforting. A step in the right vibrational direction, you might say.

What a depressing song. What a shame if the writer truly felt that way. You’ve certainly made me think about what music I listen to. I do know the power of music to bring memories. Several years ago I was reading HRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series and at the time I was listening to an instrumental record by a group called SKY.. now whenever I hear that music I think of the book and it reminds me of the characters riding their horses pounding over the terrain etc.. quite fascinating.

I agree 100%. It is so true. that’s why I really don’t like most country music (except Sugarland they are very positive) because all it talks about is lack, struggling and being poor. Music can change your mood, for sure.

The thing you said about music is so true…I was listening to music today and was shocked at how every old song I heard was linked to a memory. Some songs reminded me of people in my past or events that happened in my life that I hadnt thought about in years! Suddenly the memory came back as if it was just the day before. I’m all for keepin it positive!

It’s good to hear somebody else saying what I’ve been telling my wife for years. She enjoys listening to the blues because she likes the “sound” of the music,she doesn’t even listen to the lyrics (apparently), meanwhile, as an analitical person, I’m sitting there thinking “how can she really enjoy this?, doesn’t she hear the pain?” Again apparently not. Thankfully I have not seen her manifesting the negatives heard in some of the lyrics, but I cannot help but wonder whats happening subliminally. I’ll enjoy hearing her response to what you’ve written.

I couldn’t even read all of the lyrics! I’m so high on life, why would would I want to come down?

Also Antonio, I got the Robert Anthony “Know How To Be Rich” CD set. You gave us a link to the $10 e-book, but I was so convinced I just went ahead and got the whole $167 package. I love it!!!!

Thanks for all the empowering information!
