Music and nature
Allman Brothers Jessica Courtesy of You Tube
The Allman Brothers Jessica is one of my favorite Instrumental Classic Rock songs. When I hear this song I think of grasslands, pinelands, open pastures and the serenity of these locations. I favor most genres of music from classic rock to hip hop to jazz. I do not like country, acid rock or gang rap music at all. I dislike the voices and lyrics of country songs, the screaming of acid rock and the gang violence of many rap songs. Of all of the genres of music that I listen to, my favorite is jazz music because of the instrumental nature of the music and classical is a close second. I think of locations, wildlife and events when I listen to music. Music is one of my calming strategies when I am stressed or unhappy. When I am working on computer work, in the garden or around the house I put on a classic rock, hip hop or classical music station or throw in a jazz CD. Music that has a peaceful quality helps me stay on task but music that has negative lyrics, foul language makes me feel uncomfortable. Music is one of the best ways to get away from the moment
John and I pretty much love all music but I do enjoy the sounds of nature like the sound of rain, the ocean or the babbling of a river. I have been known to turn off the tv in order to listen to the rain.
Interesting post, CJ! I find recordings of nature sounds--with and without music--great for working or relaxing. Instrumental music is great, too :)
