I live with music, and I can't conceive of going a day without listening to music, and that's not something new in me, for as long as I can remember I live my days listening to music.
I listen to a variety of music, and I enjoy different musical styles, different from each other.
Music to Motivate Me
For those times when I feel lazy to do something, I play songs that I love to dance to. For some time now I have been listening to Fonseca, he is a Colombian pop singer, but he also has songs with his own rhythms from his country.
This link is from one of the songs I like the most, and in this one he shares credits with Andrés Cepeda, also Colombian.
I find this song very nice, because it's about what I didn't get to do this year and the promises of the new year.
Music to Silence My Thoughts
For those days when I need to quiet my thoughts because I feel overwhelmed, I have two favorite groups that I love to listen to.
One of them is Pentatonix, an American musical group that sings a cappella.
The other is a very particular musical duo, Mozart Heroes, they play classical works and give a touch of rock, it is fascinating to see these two Swiss men play, one with the guitar and the other with the cello.
Music for Healing
I want to share one of the most significant experiences I've had with music....
When I was in college, in my eighth semester, I had a love disappointment, after a two-year relationship my boyfriend and I broke up, that caused me a lot of sadness because I still loved him, I could not even hide my sadness, which is a lot to say for such a proud person like me, to tell you that I even forgot to eat (that is not common in me either, hahaha!).
There were days when I would come home, close the door of my room and lay on my bed looking at the ceiling.
I don't remember how long I was like that, with my sadness at that level, but for me, it was a great help to listen to music, particularly Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.
I don't know how to explain it, but even my breathing followed the rhythm of the violins, I felt like a relief in my soul, it was magic, it was wonderful...
