i know that every one here listen to music, what ever it maybe and it feels good for all of us. bu my question is do your mood change when ever you play the music, what mood would that be? Or if you are in another do you change your music? what kind of mood appears in your personality. I have only two kinds of language in music that i listen to. one, is English music, particularly American Music, second and most often is Japanese..the second one increases my adrenalin, while the first one allows me to relax.

Most of the time, I just play every song I own on random/repeat and it just kind of fades into the background... I don't really notice what's playing, and therefore it doesn't affect my emotions. However, I do consciously choose certain music sometimes to change my emotions. Like, if I need to get my courage up and confront someone for some reason I pull out my Bon Jovi CD... and if I'm having one of those days where everything seems to be going wrong for no real reason I start listening to the Barenaked Ladies... and listening to The Tragically Hip always seems to make me focus on my work more when I need to.

Music has always been a big part of my life. It started w/ELVIS. I LISTEN TO THE RADIO EVERY DAY. i HAVE A FAVORITE STATION THAT PLAYS OLDIES IN COUNTRY MUSIC & I love it.Sometimes it makes me sad when i hear certain songs & alot of then bring back good memories. I think music can change your mood very quickly but I still love to listen to it. Have a good sat.

I love Elvis too and the way he dances, pretty cool guy and a Legend as well. Oldies are the true and original evolution of music, unlike music of today some are nothing but a bunch of remakes.

Music definately changes my mood. I listen to all types of music in all times of languages, but i guess what really helps is the lyrics. Songs can seriously chenge my mood from happy to sad, to angry and upbeat. It all really depends on what im listeing to i suppose. I personally think that music has the ability to alter moods, but of course, thats just my personal opinion.

Actually in my case, when ever i change my mood, the music also changes as a proof of what am i feeling and thinking. but you are also right, music also alter moods for example when ever i feel upset i would listen to religious songs.

Yes, depending on the music I am listening to my mood can change. Some music will make me feel peaceful, while others will get me thinking deeply and pondering the world. That is one thing I love about music, it takes you to all different places in your mind.

Hi LetranKnight, I use music to suit my mood most definitely. When I'm in the car I like something upbeat and love to play Motown or Bryan Ferry, it cheers me as I drive and is probably the only time I sing along. If I'm cooking I may put on something stimulating like a bit of opera. If I just want to relax quietly late in the evenings I like something restful to listen to, Leonard Cohen, or my georgous old Greek music which is really almost haunting and just pulls me in.

I change my mood by playing music. Music really relaxes your mind. When I am in a bad mood, I listen to slow tracks and when I am happy, I listen some rock music.

Listening to music that's violent while in a bad mood can really make you insane. and when your happy mood it's ok to listen to happy campy music. some rock musics are way beyond relaxation.

Well, Slow music makes me relax..Dance Music makes me dance..and the rest I just sing along. There's no specific mood for each of the music I play. I just listen to the music I like and just enjoy every minute of my listening pleasure.

I listen to different types of music. I like jazz, broadway show tunes, oldies, soft pop. I find that listening to music over different kinds will change my mood. Playing upbeat or faster paced songs will make me less irritable and slower stuff sometimes is relaxing.

My friend, I love to listen music as per my mood. So I do change music as per my mood. If I am happy then I love to listen love songs and when I feel sad I listen slow and sad songs. As we know songs express emotion so it is the best way to enjoy the moment of your life. So When ever I listen to music it is as per my mood.. Thanks...

Well my mood changes when the music changes . When i'm happy i don't care what kind of music i'm listening. Of course i hate noisy music which will make me quite crazy. i download my favorite music to my list and play them very often when i'm surfing on net . It's really enjoyable.
