    Music does it for me. The only thing different is the song doesn't have to relate to my issue of the day. Songs with orchestra sounding parts help me. Bittersweet symphony by the verve is very calming for me. Anyone know any other songs with orchestra sounds? Can't listen to straight up orchestra. Gotta have words.

    This is me to a tee! I shuffle most of the time but have some really great playlists that range from maniacally excited, to the boo hoo poor me :)

    I agree with you on this one. I like to listen to music to suit whatever mood im in. Its very helpful to listen to a song based on how i am feeling at that time. :)

    I like to listen to my 'Jelly Mixx' on my Ipod. My Jelly Mixx is named after my 1year old cousin. We call her Jelly, because jam don't move like that. lol She gets into everything! One time, she had pushed a box up to the front door so she could reach the dead bolt! I don't know where she would've gone if she got out. lol Anyways, She's so wriggly and happy, so all the music on the mix is up beat. I got some Gaga, Nikki Manaj, Bruno Mars and Rianna. She LOVES Gaga! Her favorite gaga song is Telephone.

    I love music. It's my life right now. Perhaps I should listen to music right now to make me feel better. It usually does. Had the most upsetting situation today. I don't know what to believe...I find it hard to believe. I'm not very trusting anymore. And it took me four months to finally start warming up to him. I am hurt. He owes me big time for this. I don't like feeling this way.

    I find that the loudest most extreme screaming heavymetal devil worshiper music calms me down when I am stressed. When I'm not already strtessed (at least no more than usual), listening to beatless drifting ambient music makes me feel even better. Very evocative music though, so there are usually also twinges of many feelings.

    I agree, I also listen to music to help me deal with any emotional pain I may be feeling at the time. I find it quite therapeutic when I find a song/songs that have lyrics I can't relate too. It helps you feel like you're not alone, and there are others who feel the exact same way you do, and that there are others going through the same or similar problems as you are. I personally listen to post-hardcore and metalcore, like Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, Pierce The Veil, Of Mice & Men etc.

    I agree, depending on my mood, I listen to all sorts of music except a couple genres. I cannot even begin to count how many CD's I have. Lately the music needs to be louder and with the darkness that I'm experiencing, it's hard finding that one right song. Switchfoot put out a new album and never though I would like Christian alt. rock but there's some good ones out there. They do a song called "Vice Verses" and I keep listening to it over and over. The chorus is very haunting.

    "I know that there is meaning to it all

    A little resurrection every time I fall

    You've got your babies, I've got my hearses

    Every blessing comes with a set of curses

    I've got my vices, I've got my vice verses

    I LISTEN. I FEEL. I TRANSITION FROM THE RADIO TRANSMISSIONS HAVING MY HEART FLUTTER AND POUND, SMILE RETURN UPSIDEDOWN AND MY THOUGHTS SOON GO ROUND N ROUND MOST OF ALL I AM JUST A ROCK N ROLL CLOWN. HAVING A SIMPLE EQUATIONS OF MELODY NOTES BY THREE MAKING A CHORDS TO MY MENTAL STABILITY. SOMETIMES MAYBE TOO FREE, I AM OBSERVED NOW AS MAYNE UNHEALTHY. I DON'T CARE FOR WHAT OR HOW I am perceived as long as music hit my ears I am truly free from all that ways and sometimes ME.

    I love music because It makes me forget about the terrible world around us,,although i do get emotional by some songs that remind me of boyfriends or just lost people that were in my life.

    When I get upset, I listen to my Brookstone sound machine. It plays soft music such as rain or ocean waves. There are a bunch to choose from. Whenever I get really anxious, it always calms me down. It also helps me get to sleep or clear my head.

    Guess it really doesn't matter the type of music as long as it improves our mood.

    It works across all species human. Even plants have been proven to have a certain 'taste' in music. Spiders like classical, but hate rock for example. Scientifically proven fact. Me? I like me some Disturbed. I find their music fits almost any mood or action.
