Can music tame the savage beast?
Self awareness starts with the learning of identity. What makes the individual tick? What makes the individual feel the way they do in a given setting? Does color, music, clothing, smells, sounds, and sights affect mood? I think it depends upon the individual. I spent three hours listening to music over a period of 2 weeks. I wrote down how music

The Beatles: Free as a Bird When I listened to this song I felt relaxed, happy and peaceful. I just felt light as air and I had the urge to want to sit underneath a tree or lay on my bed and listen to it. It really is a very mellow and calming song for me.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Deck the Halls This song pumped me with energy and I felt powerful listening to it. I wanted to go out and conquer the world. I felt like there was nothing that I could not do or accomplish.

"Slipped Away" by Avril Lavigne:
Made me feel REALLY sad when I listened to this one. I started crying a little. It's a super sad song that usualy makes me cry anyway so I'm not suprised.
"Getting Into You" by Relient K:
Just in time to cheer me up this song started. ♥ This one makes me feel light-hearted and warm and happy. A very nice feeling~!
"Drown" by Three Days Grace:Mellowed me out. Not suprising. Angsty rock ALWAYS mellows me out ( ... )
