Farin Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm sorry, I was never able to listen to music while I had to concentrate on something else. It would always distract me too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I just put on what I felt like listening to... sorry, not very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm with Martin. I can never listen to music while doing something else. Music is always my first priority so I can't DO anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fish Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 The 1812 festive overture. It always gets my brain going for lyrics. Or sometimes the walza from Sleeping Beauty if I'm writting an essay. However for poems I useally just have radio 2 playing softly in the background, then if a song I like comes on I can break and crank it up. I often find I'm to buried in my text to step back and look at it, so this works for me. In short, dunno, try these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I can't write or do any sort of homework if there's no music on, I don't know why. I usually put on something heavy, to keep me going (Metallica, AC/DC, Zeppelin, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 'amnesiac' by radiohead - that's my brother's trick! i also used to listen to 'moon safari' by air and of course 'grace' by jeff buckley. i find it hard to sit in silence while studying so i usually choose things that i know really well so then it's not too distracting. when i was studying for my leaving cert i used to put on a cd of the music i needed to study but when i was studying english i'd put on the 'cinema paradiso' soundtrack since that was one of my texts! i'm a nerd by the way!

c_s_1987 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I generally listen to 8-30 minute long progressive rock songs while studying. I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I cannot concentrate when I´m writing or working on some text if there´s music... I need silence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Daniel....Dude. Some form of death metal is always cool, especially when doing schoolwork and contemplating thrashing that condescending sombitch of a science teacher. Or you may prefer something mellow, like John Denver, for instance. Edited May 3, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Lately, I prefer silence to concentrate but when I was in school and uni, I used to put on joy division, for some reason i found it really helped me while writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annerr Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Anything really, am I the only one who CAN'T concentrate if I'm not listening to music? Everything I'v ever done well, I did while music was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fish Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Anything really, am I the only one who CAN'T concentrate if I'm not listening to music? Everything I'v ever done well, I did while music was on. You are not alone. I too am part of this "Noise Culture" where silence is scary and if I have two radios, they are both on as well as my tape players and CD players. All playing different stations/Tapes/CDS......It all helps to add to the creative mixture in my mind..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'm with the Lizard on this one: something heavy is great thinking music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annerr Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I really don't think I have done anything without music. I feel strange now. -Hides- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 The Durutti Column, Steely Dan, and "smooth Jazz" music by the likes of Paul Hardcastle and Soul Ballet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I can't get anything done while listening to music. If I'm listening to something I enjoy while trying to simultaneously study something I don't enjoy, it doesn't work out. If I AM trying to ignore my work, then I find 2112 does the trick. REALLY LOUD. Just blocks everything out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
