I'd be lying if I say that I don't need music in my life. It has been a part of my daily routine and it is usually my company everywhere and anytime every time I'm alone. Music has been my refuge and my ally during my lowest and my greatest supporter in lifting my mood, then stabilizing it once again.
Good day, hivers! This is my first time posting here in the ASEAN HIVE community. Here's my entry to the challenge: What Music Do You Listen To?, initiated by 
I need music to most of the things that I do like when I'm working at home, studying, writing, reading, or just chilling in my free time. It's also my way of maintaining my focus on things that I'm doing. I'll plug my earphones, blast the volume up, so that I couldn't hear the background noises and disturbances while I'm doing something. It has been a habit of me doing things this way.
I would open my Youtube and search some songs that are soothing in my ears. This video has also a Spotify playlist.
Like while I'm writing this now, I'm currently listening to these songs. I can think better if my mind is calm. I'm moving my head sideways to the beat while reading something. It helps me focus also, aside from not hearing background noises anymore, it helps me to think easier. I don't know to some since I have friends who don't like any noise or music while they write, but this is the norm for me for years now.
Sometimes when I get attacked by my anxiety or depression episodes, I'll listen to depressing music to intensify my emotions and so I could let it faster. Once I had let it out, I'll be fine later on. I'm emotionally unstable for years now, and this is the kind of way that I found to comfort myself. My emotions can't hold back once it rapidly intensifies, so letting it out faster is the the best way.
When I'm writing sad stories sometimes, I also listen to these kind of songs just to have an inspiration. Songs have stories also, and I can get a lot of idea while listening. Also, I need something to instigate a depressing feeling in me when I'm fine but I need to write contents like that. The flow of ideas are going smooth when you can easily describe the emotions that you want to portray in your story, and feeling it first hand is a good method.
There are also times that I managed to woke up in the right side of the bed and everything is blooming lovely in eyes. It feels like the day is in my favor and I should do everything to maintain that kind of mood. That is the kind of playlist that I will be playing for the day, so I'll get inspired to look forward for the day in good spirits. I'm also the greatest supporter of my moods. If it's in a good mood, then I'll boost it more until I feel euphoric. It just feels like I can do all my tasks well within the day if I'm in good spirits.
I also listen to this when I'm not in the mood but I'm not in the mood also to feel that way. Listening to music that can lift my mood is one of my cure for it, and it's kind of effective for me. I'll feel good after just a few songs.
Feelings can just be easily manipulated through the lyrics, beat, and melody of the songs. I'm not an expert to talk about it but that's the thing that I have observed when I'm listening to music. I don't know if that works fairly to everyone or it is just me who is that sensitive enough to get easily hooked with the vibe of the music.
Anyway, that was my kind of music. How about yours?
