Psychology and Music
- There are so many different levels of psychology that it would take more than a simple blog to cover all of them. I won't pretend to be some psychology major, nor even have a firm grasp on all of its branches. I just started to think about how it plays a part in music, and came up with a bunch of songs that I wanted to share. Each song is painstakingly written to tell a story for the intended audience.
- These songs hold a sacred place in my heart, even though I sometimes skip over them when my iPod is set to 'shuffle'. It's not because I don't like them anymore, quite the contrary; I haven't deleted them because I can't bear to let them go. It's just sometimes I'm not in the right mood to hear a particular song, which brings me right back to Psychology and Music. Yes, I know musically I'm all over the place, but that's what makes my iPod so fantastic.
