- ineedtosleep 15y agoThat's actually one of the hardest things I've tried to overcome (after realizing it) in the last few years: Music that's connected to some kind of memory/event/show/movie/etc. will constantly make me think about its associations rather than my work at hand.
- firefoxman1 15y agoI've noticed the same thing about myself lately. I even stop listening to some of my favorite songs because they arouse negative feelings or images of places I dislike.
- TeMPOraL 15y agoI found it sometimes to be a positive effect. Many times when I felt bad I listened to my favorite touching/sad songs while working - they tend to suck the emotional entropy out of me and help me focus on task at hand, while my emotions get 'aligned' with the song.
- anjc 15y agoWhy overcome it? That's one of the most beautiful things about music, no?
- teeray 15y agoah, but I believe it's entirely appropriate. Not to turn this into a Lost discussion, but one of the main themes of the show was redemption. The island was a place where all of the everyday crap was gone and the characters could step back and say, "what the hell am I doing?" I believe that's the intention here as well.
