The Power of Music

It is said that listening to just 1 hour of music per day will greatly reduce stress levels, help you to relax, reduce anxiety

How much music do you listen to?

Yesterday I was questioned on the value of my Spotify subscription. It's £10 a month and gives me mobile access to just about any song I can imagine....except The Beatles....but I can live without The Beatles....unlike Yoko Ono

The argument was that it's expensive, an argument brought by someone drinking a £3 coffee which lasts all of about 5 minutes

I guess the question is, what value do you put on your well being

Now of course some people will say that music is of no benefit to them, I'd say they're probably wrong, but they are of course entitled to their opinion....they're like arseholes after all...

See the power of music is not just in closing your eyes, singing along, escaping the realities of day to day life 

In the last few hours I've listened to songs, albeit unintentionally, that remind my of my first proper girlfriend, my wedding reception, the death of loved ones. Some of the songs are not great, some are outstanding.

I would describe my musical taste as eclectic, from Pachelbel's Canon to Phil Collins' Groovy Kind of Love.....even throw in some Mmmbop (and yes that is the correct number of M's).  I know that some of my choices would attract ridicule, apparently certainly musical tastes make me 'gay' or 'soft'......I'm pretty sure I couldn't be the former if I was also the latter.....though I like to think I'm neither

Music can motivate you, raise your mood, lower your mood. Bring back great memories and sad memories. It can just pass some time or make that time the most productive of the day. Whatever reaction it brings, you can't deny the power of music

As a return to the old days of my blogs, I will include some 'humorous' photos for your amusement, hopefully they will raise a smile....and if not....put some bloody music on
