Your current AV is awesome...love how it changes!

Thank you...ispirinous from am pics made it for me

I didn't know that. thanks.

I've often wondered if there is a helpful 'glossary' here. Everything I've picked up has been from a lister.I think this too when i see the millionth...'how do i get an av' thread.
anyone....such a thing??

Heck, I just recently learned that you can get back to an original post when it's been quoted by clicking the little right pointing arrow in the quote. Definitely no big reveals available here...

I didn't know this before your post after all this time, and could see that being useful.

I don't know of any thread for Lit techie questions or Av help, except on how to post one. My shaking titties I had up was created by a Litster.

I knew that! From very early on.
Because I once clicked it by accident.
And I was annoyed because Lit jumped the wrong way. Well, I thought Lit jumped the wrong way. Only when I did a second time, I realized you can't jump to someone's profile when you click the box beside their name in a quote.

Hooray! I was useful today!
I'm taking the rest of the day off...

I only know how to post tit pics. If anyone needs advice on that, I'm totally here for you.

That is not true, you also have mastered the "ball-paperclip".

I'm totally good with calling it ball-paperclip. Hyperlink seems so 1999. lol.

Every time is see a 1999 reference I always think of Prince

Good morning everyone! music seems to play an important role here at Lit. There's a few threads devoted to it and it's a safe topic to start a conversation with someone. But I believe that the impact of music is for the young. Not that music isn't important to us as we gracefully grow older but as life goes on, I think music is less impactful, defines who we are less, and stops creating as many new memories for us. What do you believe?

For me it depends a bit on how long the post is. If people highlight or bold the passage they are actually responding too, I don't mind. Otherwise it gets a bit scroll-intensive.

Great! Should we shorten it to BP, and confuse he nerds?

Music certainly defines me less. When I was young, you either belonged to the Rockers (with clear lines between the Folk-rockers, Hard-metal rockers, Pop-Rockers and all that), the Poppers, the New-Wavers, were an ABBA fan and the few who preferred to listen to Country kept their mouthes shut tightly when people talked about music.

It still has the same impact on me though, certain songs catapult me right back to where and when, into a mood too.

It still happens that suddenly a song (not creates a new memory, but) is intertwined strongly with a new memory.

Good morning Sir Chained...

I respectfully disagree.

I love discovering new music, itis a very important part of my life. The majority of my friends are musicians. I have extremely diverse tastes in music...if it moves me in anyway it's good. I'm always creating new memories and there always seems to be a soundtrack.

I believe the opposite of this. In fact, I disrespectfully disagree and question the whereabouts of your soul!

Music is ageless. It truly is. I think some aspects of music are appreciated more as you get older. Lots of things you just can't quite relate to when you are younger.

I would say I may attach certain songs to more memories from when I was younger. However, I feel like these days I appreciate the meanings of the songs more and more. At my wise age of 31, I've experienced a lot more feelings and experiences that help me relate to the subjects being sung.

I remember when I was about 7 years old, listening to the song Operator by Jim Croce. It's one of the finest songs ever written. There's a line in it where he's talking about his ex and how she ran off with his best friend. He says, "There's something in my eye..." I remember listening to that and thinking, "Wait a minute, there isn't really something in his eye. He's crying about them!" I was a very wise seven year old.

Also, from a musicianship point... You typically just get better as you grow older. Not only technically, but musically.

You know what I typically don't care to hear? A song by some snot-nosed teenager about love and shit about which they know close to nothing. (There are rare exceptions) However, a guy who has been to hell and back knows how to write a song. So, while it's not necessarily age, it is experience. Which usually, by default, comes with age. Not always though, because some men never live at all.

I think we have different meters throughout our life by which we guage things like emotional development and time passage, etc., and somehow music plays heavily into that. Just as time "speeds up" as we age, somehow it seems like the constant of music doesn't flow at the same rate throughout our lifetimes. It's a theory I'm still working on

Prince, huh? You're showing your age, Chainy! (It does the same for me)

I agree, I think music defines who we are less as we get older. I have, at different times in my life, been drawn more to one genre than another. As an adult, I no longer feel the need to declare myself as heavy metal, classic rock, country, r&b, rap ... etc. I think that is more for the young. I can appreciate music from across the spectrum.

I do have to disagree with you about the memories. Music speaks to my soul in a way that nothing else can. It is a part of every memory for me, new and old.

Hmmm...i think I need to disagree. Music still impacts me greatly....maybe more so now. Perhaps it's because I'm not aging gracefully lol more like a graceful road with a few (dozen) speed bumps. Sometimes when I hear a certain set of songs I can imagine a whole story line to go with them. In fact I have a folder of music specifically for that purpose. The music I enjoyed as a teen and what I like now have differed....but it's still a part of my emotional being and connected to things I've done.

I tend to view sensory stimulations as emotional triggers. Music is just not one of mine. I like music, and there are songs I remember from different life periods, but for me, it’s not a particularly emotional experience. I certainly don’t have the same response most people seem to, and for those that do engage viscerally I would think music would be a life long affair.

Now smell will capture memory and emotion for me, quite strongly. Scents from when I was a child are particularly evocative, though I still form new memories and attachment through smell. A particular book, or some passage of prose will do the same. It’s not uncommon for me to reread books, sometimes multiple times. Something as simple as running a finger down the spine of a favorite book can flood me with happiness, particularly one I associate with a pleasant time, place, or event.

 

[Aquagal]

Music is very important in my life, and it still surprises me. When I was little, I used to ponder how bands could come up with music that didn't sound like the same repeated song, like all the ideas would have been used up. But that's not so, musicians are so creative putting their own spin on how to emote musically. Unless you're Nickelback. I often go into a music thread and hear something I never would have heard on the radio, or sought out to listen to and am quite often surprised.

Music is a great accompaniment for my moods, whatever they may be. And I still search out stuff for what I've never heard, even oldies. For about a year now I've been digging on Bill Withers, never heard much of him before that, now he's a new favorite...and these are oldies.

Scents do the same for me too. And books also.
Just looking at the shelves, trying to decide which one to re-read now will fill me with emotions and memories.

Good Morning, Chained.

I would respectfully disagree.

For me, music is everything. It defines so much for me in my life. There is nothing that evokes more powerful emotions in me (well, there is one other thing). I thrive on intense emotion, so it’s a beautiful outlet for me.

Regretfully, I never became a musician, but I have such immense admiration and respect for songwriters and musicians, powerful vocalists. I have been this way since I was a child. My love for music and musicians has never changed because I’m growing older. Like Pmann, age has actually caused me to find even more meaning in songs because my life experience helps me understand more. An amazing lyricist is a gift to the world, like a poet.

Music, to this day, defines me, defines certain events that are going on in my life, helps me make it through hard times, helps me celebrate the good times, helps me hold on to memories, to people whom I have lost. My dog does, too. He is so much a part of me! (yeah, totally off topic there)

I’m an absolute music lover and I will be until the day that I die.

Also, from a musicianship point... You typically just get better as you grow older. Not only technically, but musically.

Your passion and intensity are palpable. Preach it, brother Pmann! I'm all ears.
