Hi there, I’m the new guy, only 17
and from the land of the long white cloud. It is
widely believed that music can alter moods and
even talk to you, getting lost in the lyrics or
the beat.
Most people even believe that baroque period
classical music can make you smarter and is
commonly used when studying for exams, or played
to women’s stomachs to the baby inside to
help develop brain functioning.
I love music, and want to share my passion to
anyone who wants to listen. Transition at
whatever stage or process is stressful in
everyway possible. The dulcet tones of music are
here to lull your woes away, or rock out your
anger, techno your mood into bouncy overdrive
and have you air guitaring in no time.
Had a rough day at work? Stuck in traffic?
Seem like everything is just not going right? If
it’s soothing you need, close your eyes and
drift away into Coldplay’s most recent
album titled ‘X&Y’. Every track is
sure to soothe and inspire with great lyrics and
smooth beats and tunes. The world wide acclaimed
band are known for this style of music and have
sold millions of albums over the years. If one
style isn’t your thing, compilations such
as ‘Lazy Sunday’ or any acoustic
tracks will be sure to do the trick just as
well.
Stressed out from the day-to-day routine and
what it holds? Frustrated and ready to blast off
at the drop of a pin so you can let out all that
built up anger. Then you need to rock it out!
Not fight it out! And though I personally like
most music, I’m a rock man mainly. There
are hundreds of bands out there, new and old who
can have you rocking out your frustration. A few
leading examples from the charts recently are
‘fallout boy’, ‘panic at the
disco’ and many more, anything with
distortional guitar and a fast beat to get the
adrenaline pumping. Crank it up (but not too
loud, or you will damage your hearing guys),
sing along, jump around, air guitar or scream
into your pillow, just let go to make you feel
better, take it out the right way.
A recent release of rock music is the
‘Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ new album
‘Stadium Arcadium’. With 3 hits on the
NZ charts (sorry oz guys I don’t know about
yours) and rave reviews worldwide, this 2 CD set
is flying off the shelves. It features songs to
rock out to, chill to or just have in the
background at a BBQ. A personal rating of 5 out
of 5 for music and lyrics, its well worth a
listen.
