ARTISTS MY PARENTS INTRODUCED ME TO WHEN I WAS YOUNG
Did you use to have that when you were younger in school? When you were with your friends, and they had a "Dark Side of the moon' t-shirt, and you were like "oh so you like Pink Floyd??" and they were like "Pink who?" - *Facepalm*. That happened so many times.

Raising the Vibration
On any given day, my focus may change and so will my music selections. In these last few weeks before the election, I have ramped up my intention to share information that will unite us as a country and perhaps affirm the right choice at the ballot booth. Music can inspire. Music can heal. Music can literally move us figuratively and literally to feel a certain way. So, on that note, a couple of weeks ago, I wrote a Facebook post to present a challenge with a specific outcome in mind. Here’s how it read:

My Top Ten List
This fall I returned to school after thirty-seven years. Often, I wear headphones while I’m I listen to an eclectic combination of music. I delight in finding videos of the music of my youth (sixties and seventies). But I also love discovering new-to-me groups, such as Home Free and Pentatonix. Musicals have had a place on my playlist since I was a child, and I played classical piano for many years.

Current Mood
By now, I'm sure everybody knows what an emotional journey getting through work and school can be. Especially working from home and attending virtual classes. There is no longer such a thing as a "school" playlist or a "work" playlist; it depends on my mood. Whether I'm motivated, focused, energetic, sad, or (what usually happens) a strange combination of those I have playlists on standby. Seriously, I feel like Spotify is one new playlist away from sending me an email saying "You alright, love?" So, I've pared down 5 of those playlists for you to get your own mood-board-playlists started because you simply can never have enough.

Rockabilly Is In My Blood
I was born into a family of musicians. My dad played lead guitar for a rockabilly band in historic Lexington, Kentucky during the early 1970's and my mom's brothers played Bluegrass Music in a band in the scenic Appalachian foothills of eastern Kentucky. Both of my grandfathers were musicians along with all their brothers, sisters, and children.

Of course you know 'Lofi Hip Hop Radio to Relax/Study to'
Back when I was in university all-nighter studing or working on projects were tough but a requirement to get my grades. I prepared myself to endure the night with healthy treats and water to keep me going. But with all sorts of preparation, music was my go to for all-nighters. The key is to find the right kind of tracks to keep me fresh, motivated, and energetic though the nights. I will share a few of my tracks to help you though the nights as I experienced during university. Just as a fyi, even after my graducation I keep these tracks to help me going though my days.

Focus Your Mind, Body and Soul
I used to get laughed at for my music tastes because they were a lot like my grandfather’s. The great thing about it though was that every time I listened to one of my grandfather’s favourite songs, I would remember him. He died when I was about nine years’ old and I miss him every single day even as I near twenty-five. Whilst I was studying for my MA degree a few years back, I would listen to various songs that I felt could focus my mind and help me remember my grandparents - all of which are gone. The rockabilly age is possibly my favourite age of all time and with its repetitive and catchy beats, it can help you remember pretty much anything. Old jazz music and dark soul songs, American Folk Revival and Motown are just some of the genres of music that are on my playlist that I would use for studying. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for even considering my playlist because I have been bullied so badly for my taste in music. It was never the next new Katy Perry song, even though I respect those who do like that music. Music is really up to you, but this one is up to me and so here we go. Here are five songs on my playlist to give you an overview of how I get focused. Hopefully, it helps you a bit too.

My Go-To Playlist of Songs
Since I don't really have specific songs that I listen to while doing any form of sit-down work such as doing assignments for school or studying, I decided to do a playlist of tunes that I listo specifically for doing my household chores. Since the summer of 2018, I have been residing in an independent living facility for people with multiple abilities, with the majority of the tenants having some form of mental health issue and/or dual diagnosis. Every day, I always make sure that my apartment is immaculate, otherwise I won't function properly. If my place is not clean enough, I will either be stressed out or won't leave the house until it is clean enough. I usually like to do them during the day when I have enough energy, so I can concentrate better. Every night, I usually do not perform any heavy household chores unless it is necessary. Without music, I will not be able to complete my chores as music helps gives my energy a good kick. I will also get discouraged, easily fatigued and distracted when I don't have upbeat music in the background. I often despise doing household chores, so a playlist of upbeat music or listening to a particular song on Apple Music or YouTube motivates me to complete my chores. On certain days, I would even dance to some of the songs as I am completing my household chores as an excuse to burn extra calories and enjoy doing my chores a bit more. Some days I get moody when I have to do a load of household chores, so I like to cheer myself up by dancing or finding a new playlist of all kinds of songs that I think I would enjoy.

"7 Thinks About Film Composer You 'II kick Yourself for not knowing"
The composition of the film may be iconic and glamorous or undervalued and subtle, helping to propel the story ahead, develop anticipation or elongate a moment and create a space and suspense. Composers cross the distance between sound and vision with one foot in the realm of storytelling and the other in the field of audio.
