Funny thing about music, is that it changes your mood as you listen to it. It can inspire when you are down, it can bring cheer when you are sad, and it can pump you up when the going gets tough. Don’t believe me? Just pop in a heavy metal CD the next time you’re stuck in a traffic jam and take a note of your mood. Then change the disc to something easy-listening, and you’ll see what I mean.
Case in point: I went jogging around the neighborhood just last week; after working up a good sweat, I was ready to call it a day and head back, but then the shuffled playlist started playing the “Fever!” song from Patapon…. and so I thought “What the heck” and went for another round.
Music is a powerful thing, and that’s why I’ve always had a fully loaded MP3 player with hours of songs with me at all times, and before that, a walkman, a portable CD-player and a MD-player.
