Who doesn’t love music?

I love music. I have so many memories with music to do with them. Music can be very nostalgic.

Personally, I tend to connect more to the music than I do the lyrics.

What type of music do you listen to? Do you connect more with a song’s music or its lyrics?

In my clinical practice as a manual therapist, I try to match the music with the person I’m treating or working with. Over the years, it’s been interesting to see the nuances music has from person to person. People will make no comment on the music selection, ask to turn it off, comment how much they “love this song,” or we will guess the artist for every other song.

Depending on the client, I will play soundtracks to movies to keep it random. We’ll blast Queen, Metallica and rock, my favorite hip hop, movie scores, 80’s anything, Soul, Motown, country, the list goes on and on.

The music gives each client interaction our own little soundtrack. It’s how I create a little more connectedness.

More useless info:

A song I could listen to 50 times is “Pick Up the Pieces” by Average White Band.

Some of my favorite vocalists are Chris Cornell, Janis Joplin, John Fogerty, Freddy Mercury, and Amy Winehouse.

My favorite rappers are Black Thought, Mos Def/Yasiin Bay, Andre 3000, Eminem, 2Pac.

Go listen to some good music or try something new.
