Music

I think that even my music preferences are influenced by my personality type.
I just realized this last week.
I think that's why I don't like music like The Civil Wars or Dashboard or whatever.
Because I'm an INFJ, I feel things deeply. And I tend to be acutely empathetic.

  When I listen to that music, I feel it. Not in the good way.

It's not the lyrics that do it, it's the music, the melody, the rhythm. The melody settles into me and I feel the desperation and sorrow in the music. There's an intangible quality about that music that feels so forlorn.
    
To be honest, the lyrics could be the greatest thing in the world. I love lyrics, but I feel the music. I empathize with the story the music speaks to me, even if that's not the musician's intent.

  My heart just hears music in a certain way and that kind of stuff gets rejected by my ears because it makes me feel like all hope is lost. 

Haha!! I can't really explain myself. And I'm sure you lot think I'm a nutter because ya'll don't hear it the way I do. I guess it's like how people look at art and can see completely different things or feel completely different things. Sometimes I just hear things differently than everyone else, and that's probably because I feel it more than hear it.
That's my relationship with music.
And yeah, it's weird.
