How Music Helps Shape My Decisions....

Music has been an important part of our lives for thousands of years. Just hearing the opening bars of your favourite song can brighten your mood; yet to someone else it may make them want to hit themselves on the head with a mallet.
I know we all have varied tastes and I admit some people's taste kinda makes me want be physically squeamish. But at the end of the day, it's their choice and I guess; your own fault for not appreciating that.

I know that there have been moments in my life where a single song has helped me get through it. (Cue the least 'deep' memory ever) Remember school assembly silences? There's always one person who giggles. Yeah, over there in the corner. That's me. I'm the type who bursts out laughing in the two minute silence. Which is really disrespectful. So, in order to control myself I always replay Something, Anything by Travis just to get my mind fixed on something other than what my mind will drift to - stupid, meaningless and completely off topic, mutated thoughts. The ones that make me look like a bumbling idiot.

But we do all get those songs in our heads. Whether it be the annoying 500 miles chorus or something as beautiful as Unintended. But then the *insert generic mp3 player here* goes and screws up my train of tunes:

Now I find myself quite open to most music genres, even though for me it's mainly indie/indie rock and it's great for finding different tempos, beats and lyrics to suit my moods, but it can cause certain... complications.
Most of the time I have my player on shuffle so sometimes it can switch from Enter Shikari to... taylor swift. Which to be honest is really annoying. 

That's the stupid thing about liking so many different genres. When you get absorbed in a song and then the stupid thing decides to change to something completely off genre/depressing/too upbeat. Why can't it read my mind? (They should invent something like that)

Now I'm going off topic. I guess what I was meant to be saying was that depending on what song is playing, whether it be in my mind, my player or around is how I react. So don't say something annoying when 1D/Justin Beiber/ JLS is playing because I will most likely/possibly hurt you.....
