Let's talk about music.
Seems a good topic seeing as it's what I do best. It's also what I
enjoy the most, whether it's listening or playing. Generally everyone
likes it.
How many mornings do
you wake up with a song stuck in your head? How many times is it
something you loath or love? Apparently musicians are more likely to
experience an earworm, and women tend to have them for longer and are
more irritated by them. I don't know about Sally and Anja, but after
the same line has gone round about three times I am so annoyed by it,
so perhaps that is true. Not to say that men can't be irritated, of
course, but perhaps us ladies are more prone.
Sometimes an earworm is
something really cool. Something I heard playing at college or on the
bus that I didn't know but now I know that small section. That
irritates me too. The thought that I'll have to listen to the whole
vast array of music online to try and find out what that one song
was.
Papa Wolfhound (mine and Sally's dad and Wolfhound's manager) is
organised. Several times we've been watching television as a family
and he's liked a song playing in a film or series which he then,
after the film is finished, goes and finds out what it was. That's
happened twice whist watching The Walking Dead. As a family we
recently discovered an artist called Fink as his song 'Warm Shadow'
was played at a really awesome bit in series 3. To be fair, there
isn't much music in the series' but when there is it is all pretty
cool. Whoever decides what to play is someone with really good taste.
Adverts are another
one. My little brother was telling me about a band that recently
became well known just because their song was played on an Xbox game
advert and that's true. I have a friend who looks up songs in
adverts and ends up getting their music, like that confetti advert
that I keep seeing when I go to the cinema. The song is 'Berlin' by RY X.
Basically, we need to
get a song played on an advert or film, then we'll suddenly get
massively famous. I wish.........
Anyway, thanks for
reading.
