Music Helps Me

Posted by Parus @parus, Oct 13, 2017

At times music can be helpful. I like the group Anthem Lights...A new discovery for me when I was perusing youtube. A Capella has always been my thing. I love to sing!!!!!

Hey everyone!!! Lots of sunshine here today and almost made it to 50. The crazy lady on this end of town was walking a singing "Sunshine On My Shouders". Cold moving back for the weekend bringing freezing precip and snow. Will be singing, "Slip, Sliding Away" and "Let It Snow"!

When my wife was ill, music, TV, etc. was all too stimulating for her so we lived a silent existence for years and years. I missed my music a TON (my favorite is the Moody Blues), but I was hindered by the fact I am deaf in one ear and ear buds, headphones, etc. were frustrating since I lost any stereo effect, hearing only a weird portion of the music, etc.

So for what it's worth and just in case anyone in this tread has the same issue, after much trial and error and searching I finally found DJ, single-ear, stereo headphones! They are made by a company named Beyerdynamic and they brought back my ability to enjoyably listen to music when I needed the house to be quiet and now in places like airplanes and the train. (I have no relationship with and nothing to gain from mentioning this company.)

A just in case PSA.

Strength, Courage, and Peace

Just had to share this Youtube video with you all to lift your spirits. This comes from Great Ormond Street Hospital in the UK where many children are awaiting a transplants. This is a song dedicated to those children. This is a good sing-along song for all of us! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=lQ_TdIqNsqI

Hello everyone, I thought it'd be a great time to check in on how music is impacting your lives since you last posted. Personally, music has provided me some immense comfort in some stressful times recently and it would be great to hear some of your experiences.

@peach414144 @parus and @cherriann have there been any moments where a particular song or music in general has lifted your spirits or calmed you down?

@ethanmcconkey This morning it was classical and it improved my spirits. I have been busy with paper mache and the classical station helped speed things along. Accomplished a lot and this helps the spirits too!!! Thanks for asking. The last rhizotomy worked a number on me. Starting to feel some relief and enjoying music again. Turn your radios on to your favorite station and hopefully get a lift.

@ethanmcconkey Music has always played a big part in my life. I like so many genres of it, and have a large collection of CDs. They get used in my craftroom, so I have to get up every so often to change out a disc. My husband ripped many of them along with many of his, onto a stick that plays randomly in my car. Most of the music has imprinted on me, and a piece might take me back to where I was/with who/places when it plays. Yesterday in my car coming back from the closest larger town [a half hour drive] I had Chakra Suite by Anugama playing, normally something reserved for meditation. But I realized it was perfect, driving into and through very dense fog on the mountain passes. It took the nervous edge off driving narrow lanes with large trucks.
