Does your music taste change depending on mood?

[ChickInDelight]

The good news is... you can use music to change your mood.

Let's say you are not happy, but would like to be.

Listen to music that matches your mood (sad, mad, manic, whatever).

Then, change the mood of the music until you finally reach where you want to be (happy, mad, euphoric, manic, whatever).

Most definitely! Personally, I mostly listen to talk radio, but my favorites are classic rock (you know, the good stuff from the '70s-'90s). When I'm feeling really into a good bass-line, I like to listen to rap (mostly on the way to work), bubbly is hip-hop or dance music, for housecleaninig I prefer classical.
When I'm mellow, I like to listen to 'new' country, but down in the dumps brings on the country ballads...

Most of the time I'm a country kinda person. Like to sing all the songs. But I'm pretty open. My brain tells me I want to listen to a song, like I got " Hey soul sister stuck in my head, so I listened to it. I get random songs all the time, so my sound track def. varrys with my moods

LOL more time to whittle away on BYC though!

I go through phases where I listen to songs obsessively. Right now it's John Stump's Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz...

What songs are your favourites then?

Now I'm curious....

Yep, some days rock'n roll and some days country, depends on the mood.

Yep. Sometimes I listen to long, slow, relaxing pieces (Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony is a favorite), sometimes short and really intense stuff, Hans Zimmer and his movie soundtracks come in handy. Then sometimes I just need sort of a "shot" of sanity, and I listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jquJLs0wdFk

After school ended last year, I played the Hallelujah Chorus.
