Music and the Soul

All of you will eventually discover that music amplifies or creates human emotions that can drastically affect our moods, patterns of thought and over time our behavior. The trick is to select and listen to music, then, that amplifies or incites the emotions we wish to experience. If you listen to System of a Down and Finch all day, you'll feel like a greasy, angry-inside, ignored junky. And soon you'll become one.

If we all listened to music that inspired and lifted our thoughts and feelings then maybe we'd see a few more inspired and lifted people in the world instead of confused, lost children making Meth out of rat poison and repeating the depressing lyrics of Linkin Park in their heads. You know the lyrics.

Pick any of Linkin Park's songs at random and the chances that you'll hear at least one of the following phrases repeated is very probable: "I'm on my own," "get away from me," "I'm so lost," "I'm about to break," "It doesn't even matter." Then they threw in "My December" to talk about snow-covered trees...and how they still are somehow depressing.

Wake up music listeners. Even if you have a crush on the guy with the mohawk and the gauge earings, it doesn't mean you have to trade your peace of mind for delirium in your music selection.
