Songs are like people.... discuss

or maybe I'm wrong.....


Some songs you hear and instantly you like them

Other ones you don’t think you will like, but they grow on you

People remind you of songs, songs remind you of people

When you look back, sometimes you think ‘I can’t believed I liked that song’

Some songs you think everyone will like, but can’t understand when they don’t

Sometimes you just completely misinterpret a song without meaning to

Some songs you just like, you don’t know why

When listening to ten songs together that you have heard for the first time, there are always ones that grow on you without knowing and end up being your favourite despite your first impressions

There are some songs which you would like to wake up to

And there are others that you go to bed with out of habit

There is always a honeymoon period with new songs, after that you are either sick of them, or just know them well and don’t get tired of it

There are just some songs that you forget about and don’t know why, then one day it will just pop into your head for absolutely no reason

Sometimes you just cant get a song out of your head, you are humming it all day and start to piss people off just humming it

Your best song today, won’t be your best song next year

You will do anything to avoid listening to certain songs

Some songs you just don’t get, and never will

Some people have big music collections, others just like to stick to what they know

Some people are really fussy when it comes to songs, others like anything


......... and just like people, some music will send you to sleep......

LONDON (Reuters) - Having trouble sleeping? Don't bother with a cup of cocoa or counting sheep -- listening to music at bedtime is the way to get a restful night, Taiwanese researchers have found.
In a paper published in the February issue of the Journal of Advanced Nursing, a team from Taiwan's Tzu Chi University said they studied the sleep patterns of 60 people aged between 60 and 83 who had difficulty sleeping.

Half were given relaxing music to listen to for 45 minutes at bedtime and half were given no help to sleep.

The team found that those who listened to a selection of soft, slow music experienced physical changes that aided restful sleep, such as lower heart and respiratory rates.

"The difference between the music group and the control group was clinically significant," said lead author Hui-Ling Lai, vice director of nursing at the Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital and assistant professor at Tzu Chi University.

"The music group reported a 26 per cent overall improvement in the first week and this figure continued to rise as they mastered the technique of relaxing to the sedative music."

..........which reminds me. I saw a programme last night which studied people with sleeping problems. They got in medical experts, psychologists, therapists and every other sort of ologiists in. They spent a whole hour with these people, were they stressed? Was it their childhood? Was it their environment? Was it their jobs? Maybe it was their bed? And then I realised that I had picked up something very subtle in all the case studies, maybe I have a gift for picking up on such things? In fact, I have to say, I surprised myself. I felt like ringing the programme makers then and there, was it me that just worked out the pattern? Anyway, I will share the pattern with you, if anyone asks, I saw it first, so give me the credit....I'll whisper...THEY ALL DRANK OVER TEN FRIGIN CUPS OF COFFEE IN THE AFTEROON AND SOME DRANK TWO LITRES OF COKE BEFORE BED, why in the hell did they spend so much money on experts, I wonder sometimes.
