Tying Music to Emotion

[augie00]

Earlier in this past school year I was going through a crappy time, and a certain album always made me feel good when I listened to it.

After I was through my crappy time, I basically quit listening to this album.

At the tail end of a session today, the album popped up on itunes. I realized that I was feeling the same bad emotions that I was feeling at the time that this album was theraputic.

It's almost like the music sucked up my bad emotions and made me feel better, and then spit them back out at me once I started feeling fine.

Weird.

(In case anybody is wondering, the album is "Escapology" by Robbie Williams
