A Walk in the Rain

Has anyone ever noticed how music can change your mood? I am sure there is a scientific study out there about it, but I can tell you right now that I am way too lazy to go look for it.

I have met people that claim that music has a adverse effect on their mood, but not me. When I am happy, I listen to happy songs, mad, mad songs, depressed, depressing songs and when I am in love, I listen to love songs. Music doesn’t really effect me to where it changes my mood, but rather it enhances my mood. It just happens to up the ante.

Most of my friends claim that music effects them so much that it has the ability to change the way they are feeling and personally I think they are full of poo. Music may seem to have magical powers but a person isn’t going to change the way the feel just because of a song. The only way they are going to change is if they want to.

Music is amazing, I admit, but it can’t change how you feel, just enhance it.

I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted to sappy love songs. I just can’t seem to get enough of them. From that song on that silly commercial, which has now been dubbed as “my commercial”, Coffee Shop – Landon Pigg, to the cute song in Shrek the 3rd, Best Days – Matt White. Every song is just so cute. I can’t help but fall in love with them all. Not to mention all the more popular songs, Here In Your Arms – Hellogoodbye, Hanging By A Moment – Lifehouse, and plenty of others.

I guess it is just the mood I have been in recently. I have fallen in love with everything that is good. I have never been so happy. Granted, there are a few things that keep bringing me down, but there are so many ‘happy’ things to cheer me up how could I ever be sad?

For every one thing that drags me down I have at least 10 things to cheer me up. But then again, with the friends that I have it is hard to ever be in a bad mood. They are there to make you happy, and trust me, they do a great job at it.

For everyone person there is someone that all those sappy love songs are about.
