beating the blues - day ten
I was all amused by the syncronicity of today, when the task 'listen
to music' fell on the same day as the big day out. in some ways
though, i feel i didn't really fulfil the challange, bc just listening
to music is a whole lot different to going to a whole day long
festival with lots of different bands.
especially when you spend most of the day nursing a cranky boy with
heatstoke. seriously though, we had hats, and suncreen, and water and
food, and it still didn't help. sigh.
it did teach me some things about the way that i interact with music
though, or at least cement some things that i already knew. mostly,
that i like to dance. which is why mosh pits don't make sense to me.
you can't dance in a mosh pit. when all your energy is spent in
trying to stay upright to survive, you can't even listen to the music,
much less enjoy it.
the exception to this was rammestein. i was sooooo excited that yes
all i wanted to do was jump up and down and throw myself around like a
crazy person. strangely though, the rammestein mosh wasn'that intense,
especially where we were, though i could see even closer in, and
people seemed more interested in actually watching and listening then
killing each other. though there was plenty of jumping up and down
like a crazy person, it was only whehn the music called for it.
tool on the other hand? nearly had my arm broken on the first song.
to answer the question at hand though, music has a mixed effect on me.
sometimes i listen to it, and it take me out of the everyday word
even more, andi just stay in my shitty little cranky person brain, but
sometimes it makes me really happy and is awesome. i just need to be
able to judge my mood well eough to tell which it will be i guess.
