I Am An Infp Forum & Chat Board | Music anyone?

I've always liked music with mystical qualities.  Anyone else?  I love Mark Knopfler, for instance Enya, too.  Anyone else?  Who do you listen to?

 

I confess I do like Enya, she's kind of a guilty pleasure.  I like some of the mellower tunes on the Celtic Woman CD's.  The song "Carrickfergus"  always gives me a sweet sadness.

Also like mellow electronic ambient music, like the work of Mike Carss.

I love dance, Jazz, triphop, electro, drum n bass, old skool, acid house, tribal and much underground music.

 

Music is like air for me. My tastes swing (wildly out of control sometimes) from Classical (Beethoven) to Heavy/Alternative Rock (old Disturbed, Bobaflex). Love rock, stuff like Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, or Sheryl Crow. I love Enya's older stuff. Music is a constant, it just varies based on where my head is at. I've even been known to indulge in a country song or two *shudders*, lol.

My mood:

 

try cocorosie and iamamiwhoiam. 
it's music made for infp's, probably by infp people from what i saw in the interwviews with the artists. 

a lot of their stuff is on youtube, especially iamamiwhoiam. 

 

..if your not relgious, music is the healer.. it hits the spot, it can trigger a memory, bring tears to your eyes and put you on top of the world.. i guess in similar ways to love. Mark Knopfler for sure, anyone who has heard 'The Long Road' i'm sure would agree... such a beautiful song :)  

 

not sure if it's a good thing to share work of this one, peculiar lady. 
the reason is, she's sooo ******* sad. but in this strange, familiar way sad. 
like she knows. 
like she was one of us. 
dunno. it made my cry really hard, so try at your own risk.

I'm almost the same, I change music tastes like I change my clothes. I am currently loving Mumford & Sons and The Beatles.

 

I'm into sea shanties.

They're usually classified as folk or world music but they can also be under the heading of fusion, rock, Celtic, or occasionally country western depending on national origin of the band or artist. Oddly covers of the same tune can be under almost any of these heading. There often challenging to track down. I'm fascinated by the history and origins of these songs. I enjoy that they are often sung a cappella with rich harmony and interesting rhythm. I've found music of this type sung in French, Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Inupiat, and Irish. I would like to find more in Spanish, but it can be difficult to find songs sung in a language I don’t speak well.

I have enjoyed Enya but find it too bland for my taste.  For Celtis I prefer Silly Wizard, Talitha McKenzie, or Mouth Music. I also like Marc Gunn.

My all time favorite is the CD Singing the Fishes by Ewen MacColl and Peggy Seeger.
 
 I'm currently trying to get ahold of a CD by a New Zealand band, Jackie Tar. No problem with the language; the difficulty is with monetary exchange.

 

I study music aesthetics. 

Some INFP-like musicians.... 
Meredith Monk -- she's sort of a performance artist but makes gorgeous, peaceful music
Morton Feldman -- Rothko Chapel
Schubert -- any songs or piano sonatas

 

I like melancholic, slow music that can make you feel romantic or things like that.
Now I like Jackie Evancho (Believe, Mi Mancherai, Somewhere), she sing better than another singer sing the same song.  the way she sing grab my heart. Don't know why.
What I really care the most is the melody. Combination with great lyric will be wonderful too.
