All i want to do, is be more like me and less like you

Linkin Park - 'Numb'. One of the few pieces of music that stir the blood and are inspirational. Both 'Numb' and 'In the End' have that effect on me, along with several others that I won't list here. Music can have effects far beyond those intended by the artist, especially theme tunes for films.

To me, at least, music can be very powerful and affect our moods quite easily. Felt like cheering watching 'Back to the Future - Part III' during the final train sequence? I'll admit I did even if it was for just a moment.

Could honestly claim that no piece of music has ever affected you emotionally?

Listening to Papa Roach - 'Scars' often leaves me feeling more than a little melancholy. It's usually swiftly followed by some more uplifting like Backstreet Boys - 'Everybody'. Alright, no laughing at the back. My friends would be shocked for several reasons; I listen to rock / metal (nu metal in the case of Linkin Park) and that I listen to more 'normal' tracks such as Backstreet Boys.

Music, films and games. Three of the most powerful stimulants I know, more so than any chemical and just as addictive. To me, this is especially true of films in case you missed the subtle clues in my previous posts. In need of a little cheering? Watch 'Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper'. If that fails to raise a smile, I recommend watching Jack Sparrow in any of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films. Sorry; Captain Jack Sparrow.

Elizabeth Swann: There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing.
Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

till next time,

Alex.
