My Listening

 

Listening

Piano Listening

• Prelude & Fugue Op.87, No.5 by Shostakowitsch
• Miroirs: Oiseaux Tristes by Ravel
• Fandango Del Ventorillo by Rodrigo
• Le Rappel Des Oiseaux by Rameau
• Rumanian Folk Dances by Bartok

I listen to my piano playlist when I am feeling truly happy. It is predominantly calm and beautiful music and it reflects my mood, whilst also affecting me a bit to make me even more relaxed and/or focused.

Rock

• Billy Talent:
• Billy Talent-
• Lies
• River Below
• Billy Talent II-
• Red Flag
• Pins and Needles
• Billy Talent III-
• Devil on my Shoulder
• Rusted From the Rain
• Saint Veronika
• Tears into Wine
• White Sparrows
• The Dead Can't Testify
• Dead Silence-
• Runnin' Across the Tracks
• Stand up and Run
• Dead Silence
• Cure for the Enemy

I listen to Billy Talent when I'm upset or feeling rebellious, because it uses a "shouty" timbre of singing and the lyrics are mostly about rebellion and revolution.

• Green Day:
• American Idiot-
• American Idiot
• Holiday
• Boulevard of Broken Dreams
• Give me Novacaine
• Extraordinary Girl
• Wake me up When September Ends
• Dookie-
• Welcome to Paradise
• When I Come Around
• Nimrod-
• Uptight
• Good Riddance
• King for A Day
• Jinx
• Take Back
• 21st Century Breakdown-
• 21st Century Breakdown
• Know Your Enemy
• Peacemaker
• Last Of The American Girls
• American Eulogy
• Murder City
• 21 Guns

I listen to Green Day most of the time that I'm listening to music, because there is a huge variety between albums. However I am quite new to the idea of "Listening to Music" in this cultural way and I still don't listen to this genre very often.

"Showtunes"- from Musicals

• Wicked:
• Popular
• Defying Gravity
• Avenue Q
• South Park Movie
• Hairspray
• Aladdin
• Grease
• Chicago

I love listening to musicals when I am really happy, but more hyperactively than when I listen to my piano music. They make me feel excited about life and give me a great sense of "Joie de Vivre", because the music in musicals is meant for people to enjoy, otherwise they wouldn't go to see them, it is very lively and happy.
