Writing Prompt: The Sound Tracks for Your Life
Those familiar tunes you love to listen to daily
Most of us love to listen to music. Some of us wake up to the sounds of the radio or our music player. Listening to an energetic tune gives you that boost in the morning, to set your mind and spirit for another activity-filled day.
Several of us like to listen to music on our commute to and from work. Moreover, there is an equal number of us who love to listen to our favourite tunes while working. Whatever, your likes, genre, and type of music, you have a playlist that you keep going back to listen to on a regular basis.
I love film tunes, rock and roll, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, country, reggae and a few other genres. I would listen to music in school, college, while doing my studies. Furthermore, I love listening to music, while cooking or doing work at home. I enjoy music while getting ready for work and at the end of the day when I just return. After that, I love to watch action movies, comedies, and television serials.
What are the songs that you love to listen to, during different times of the day, and do you have a favourite playlist? Tell us about the soundtracks of your life, those haunting melodies that you love to listen to and which evoke beautiful or painful memories from different times of your life.
I march to the beat of a different drum. I can never have music as background, for 2 reasons. If I'm working or studying, I need absolute silence. Any background noise is too distracting. That's why I shudder at the very thought of writing in a coffee shop. The second reason is that music takes all my attention. If I want to listen to music, I listen to music and do nothing else.
As for kind of music, generally I prefer classical but every once in a while something from another genre will work its way into my heart and mind. I'm fussy about music, as I am about food. Some tastes (in both) have zero appeal but I can't put my finger on why some particular item appeals to the point where I can't get enough of it and want to binge.
