How often do you listen to music?

in #music7 years ago

Music is one of the most rewarding, fulfilling components of my life. I spend 3-5+ on an average day intentionally listening to music, by that I mean not just having music on in the background but fully listening (and most of the time singing a lot hahaha). Whether I'm in my car driving around my back roads for an hour, swinging on the swingset, or dancing around my room to it, I find a lot of things I do for fun involve listening to music. I've had this love since I was a child-- I've always been musical, I played the trombone in school and I sing, but I know some people who really don't spend much that much time listening to music and don't consider it an important part of daily life.

How often do you guys listen to music, and what are some of your favorites? I'm a fan of country music, but I also have a love for rock music that came out in the 2000's (think Silverstein, A Day to Remember, etc.) My absolute favorite though is Emily Kinney! Her music is the best and her personality is too.

These are some photos I took at the playground near my house swinging yesterday while listening to music (kinda referencing my last post haha). This playground was really cool! It had a lot of old school jungle gyms and merry-go-rounds that you don't see at parks anymore. It's like it hasn't changed since I was a kid :)

That's are beautiful park and weather of that place is also beautiful. I like to listen music and listen it everyday. I like my local music and hardly hear some English or Spanish or latin American. I love to dance more and when some music come i am automatic start dancing lol.

Hahaha you would automatically start dancing lol 😂😂 too funny birju :) hmm you'll have to let me hear some of your favorites from your local music someday :) :)

Definitely! Sorry I'm late with a reply :)

I love music too, but keep it on in the background. Depending what I am working on depends on what I am listening to. When I am building web pages I listen to Oukast ATLiens. If I am working on accounting I listen to Ray Charles or Frank Sinatra. If I am writing an informative piece I listen to calming music. When I am writing a creative piece or poem I often find soundtracks or background music that fits the feel of the piece. When I am chilling I listen to Marley or Jay-Z. lol I like a lot of different things, but I love music too. Thanks for this post and thank you for your support on my blog. I wanted to return the favor.

Definitely seems like you have a good appreciation for music (and variety!) so I like ya even more now! I love how what you listen to depends on what you are writing-- the implications that the music effects the way you write your piece makes my music loving heart happy. :) :) :) :) :)

The music definitely puts me in the right frame of mind to write on certain topics. It helps center my focus and allows me to kinda zone out. I know what I am writing is good when I close my eyes and just keep writing. I love me some music~ I'm glad I made you music loving heart happy. Lol. Thank you!

Finally someone one the site that likes country!!! :) I knew there was a reason I like you lol. I think so people actually like country but are afraid to admit it.
I like the stuff I grew up with. Basically Outlaw Country with Willie, Waylon, Hank Jr and Merle. Plus Zeppelin. For new stuff I like Kenny Chesney. I mainly listen in the car.

I love me some old country!!! I also definitely like the "pop-country" too. Oh man, I honestly didnt "get into" country music until I was 23...for some reason as a youth it seemed "lame" but once I grew up I was like "this is what its really about!!!!!" and I still feel that way. I relate so much to country music haha :)

Exactly right. Country speaks to me coz its about real life. The ups and downs and the good and the bad, not just about clubbing lol.

I have to listen to music everyday. So I would say probably at least 5-8 hours. I work from home and sometimes I can't concentrate if I'm not listening to music. While other times I have to turn the music off just to send an email. Thanks for the post!

Dang, you're the kinda person I need to be following then! 5-8 hours of music is my kinda person :) :)
