  3. Music is just background noise???

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Alot of people I know think of music as background music only, I have tried to have conversations with some colleagues about their favourite music, and they couldn't even tell me some music he liked! Nothing that sprang to mind, not even a song he particularly liked...we had a trip up to Exeter back in October and spent a total of 6 hours in the car, listening to the radio, and just liked the noise, not the song...he just doesn't get it!

    I couldn't imagine life without music...I am really influenced by music I listen to...and by the song I'm listening to, if you look hard enough, the odds are that you'll find a clue about how I'm feeling at the moment in time...and who wouldn't like the fact that you can quote a song lyric and you don't even have to explain how you're feeling - the songwriters very often have penned about what they've been going through, and thats comforting if you can identify with their lyrics...reminds us we aren't really totally alone...and we're not the first ones to be feeling this way, and certainly won't be the last...

    The couple of people I work with daily, ask me every morning "what song do you have in your head today", because they know how much I think about music I've been recently listening to. It's kind of a running joke, so they can prepare themselves for me humming or singing obscure lyrics at several points during the day...

    Today it has mostly been: "Hey yeah you with the sad face, come up to my place, and live it up, you beside the dance floor, what do you cry for, let's live it up"...endless amusement from silly lyrics...the best I find to make people laugh, is singing the lyrics to 'My Coo Ca Choo' by Alvin Stardust :laughing:

    Wait til they get to 16/17 and are trying to decide where they want to go in life, and hormones are running wild, and you work for a company who is trying to train them and get them into work...

    Stressful and frustrating, but occasionally rewarding when someone really wants help. So many people I have been working with, have said openly that their parents are their role models, and later you find out that their parents have not worked since they gave birth, and claim benefits, largely totally fit for work, but the benefits system is so readily available to anybody, that a whole generation of children are being brought up with the idea that it's ok not to earn your money and if you're good enough at avoiding work, the government will eventually pay you for it.

    And PS, don't try and twist my words by saying 'which would make it a popularity contest', because I have explained my reasons for commenting about the way MoC is chosen being unfair, and shouldn't have to state it more than once. Especially as other people have expressed a 'concern' (if any of us are really truly concerned about this), and this seems to be ridiculous that we are having this conversation yet again, as it is a community that should be capable of making a decision rather than bickering.

    If one person is choosing, you may as well scrap the lists, and nominate one moderator to choose their own. You'd have the same outcome at the end of the day, album titles on the front page.

    Whatever, see I've gotten involved again and I wasn't going to, I just would like to see suggestions from people like Rachel and Sue, who genuinely do pick out bands/albums not commonly heard, go up on the main page for once. At the moment, we have some pretty famous artists up that have been in the charts and are widely known across the globe. I just don't get it..
