I love matching music to fit my mood. When I’m feeling energized I want upbeat music. When I’m pissed off, give me something I can rage to. (Metallica? Nirvana? Rage Against the Machine?) When I feel like crying, I put on my Crying In My Car Playlist (remember that one?) There’s something about Adele’s voice during a melancholy song that makes me feel less alone in my sadness. It doesn’t change my mood, it validates it. And sometimes thats what we need. Can anyone relate?
