Music as a Substitute for Sex?
|
Music as a Substitute for Sex? I keep finding myself writing, "I know this isn't a music site but...." The thing is music definitely can be associated with sex in many ways, and I am sure that without knowing it, I may have used it as some kind of substitute at quite a few times in my life. I don't suppose I am the only one. D you remember that feeling you get when you can be completely absorbed by the music, as if nothing else matters or exists? I used to listen like that far more when I was younger, especially in my late teens. Lost in music, caught in a trap It can be a bit like the feeling of being absorbed in another person. Or maybe you might have experienced that blissful rare occurrence when someone you are with is lost in the same music as you. Dirty Magic indeed. Maybe that's the lure of the stadium concert or the packed out local venue. If it really goes off, everyone becomes part of that shared experience. The music I like covers a very wide range of styles. I am always listening to old blues, rock 'n' roll and jazz, but I also love motown, dance music of many styles, rock, pop, you name it there's something I can find to like. Except County, lol. And now and then, I like to keep up with more current music. Not necessarily charts pop, although I sometimes do like that too, but stuff on the edge of the charts, maybe the sort of things I would probably be listening to if I still was a , working out how to relate to the world. And I have noticed that when I listen like that, it seems to coincide with me feeling the lack of sex more acutely than usually. So for anyone who might want to follow where my head is at just the moment, as they say, I keep hearing Snakehips "All my friends" on the radio, featuring Tinashe and Chance the Rapper. And going back a year or so I was into Circa Waves - "Fossils," and "T Shirt Weather." I can't help feeling "T-Shirt Weather" will be providing nostalgic memories of first kisses, last days at school, or golden holidays between college terms for a whole new generation of Dreamers over the next few decades. When I play that song I almost feel as if I am still one of them. |

I love music too but I don't really keep up to date with the current stuff these days. I still tend to return to my old favourites.  ~~Anais Nin~~

Thanks Jess, I wasn't especially looking for recommendations, but sadly, (or perhaps fortunately ) your link is dead. Can you tell me the actual name of the album?

What ever helps the mind.

Actually I did manage to find it in the end using the numbers in the text from your link, but I'm afraid it didn't do it for me. Although it sounds like the kind of music I might have to give a bit more time to - not instantly accessible - so maybe I'll give it another go now I know I am actually listening to what you recommended, not something random. Thanks so much for coming back and giving me the details!

Ha ha, yes. Although the ones you really love....they last forever don't the?. I can't imagine ever tiring of listening to "Your the best thing that ever happened to me" by Gladys Knight. The country thing is a running gag with a couple of people who have been reading my blog for years - I have nothing against Country or people who love it, just can't seem to like it myself..
