Music Choices

[shootingstar]

"Two versions of Over the rainbow a must listen are Israel Kamakawiwo.." --It is a good version, smilingcat. I always feel wistfully sad (and I think of my sister when I hear it).

Crankin, I did listen to current pop, rock hits decades ago. But even as a student, I would get a headache of playing music with lyrics after 2 hrs. while studying. I focus best on intellectual tasks, with instrumental soothing music in the background. I play baroque when I do art.

I am accustomed for staring into space for hrs. ..as long as I see stuff along a trip or have people to look at. I've never been tempted to listen to iPhone, etc. music on any bike trips/rides. A person has an interior life, imagination and thoughts for me, that needs to flow and wander without distractions. Maybe it's my form of urban Zen state.
