QOTD: How Does Music Affect Your Mood?

So, I’m hanging out at my desk doing my usual run-through of songs & playlists on Spotify that I want to listen to during my time in the office. (Music always makes the day go by, and the right song can really put me in the best mood ever!) Today, my co-worker/music buddy sent me John Mayer’s song “ I’m Gonna Find Another You.” I love John Mayer’s music (My feelings toward him off the stage are indifferent…) but this breakup song about finding a duplicate of your ex put a damper on my Tribe Called Quest/D’Angelo music mix, and it made me think of how the music that you listen to reflects who you are as a person.

Just think about it…when you’re having a great day, you usually choose upbeat music with a positive message to capture these emotions, and when you’re going through a breakup you might turn to “Im Gonna Find Another You” or Beyonce’s “Irreplacaeble” to get you through. You might even be feeling down and play some inspirational music to turn your frown into a smile.

I’m in a chill/relaxed mood, today, so the song that got me going and feeling great was A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation.” I found myself dancing in my seat and bobbing my head without a care in the world. Good stuff, indeed.

What’s on your playlist today? Do you switch up your music to reflect or even change your mood?

Ciao Bellas,
