So I just wanted to say I had something else completely written and I erased this because…well I kind of had a better idea of what to write.

And believe me…it was fucking genius. I just wanted to delve into something else.

Can music truly be the connection into controlling our moods?

Because I believe that our moods are what truly paints the picture of our lives. Splattered on the walls of our psyche, a complex masterpiece of different colors and intensities representing the beauty that is our life.

However…in turn we can say that the music is truly what molds our moods?

I feel like when I am angry I listen to harder music? Music with less of a message…mindless drooling into the paths of negativity.

However when I am happy the music is more upbeat.

Shit.

I will go as far to say angrier people listen to angrier music. I dare you to pick your top 10 songs out of your iPod and I say the majority will describe your life.

Think about it.

The songs you listen to the most, you are ingrained to more. n a car when that song comes on you feel better than everyone near you. You feel that song way more. You know all the lyrics…even the part where the rapper breaks it down but you keep it up. You don’t fuckin’ stutter! Because it is your FAVORITE song.

But that song more than likely points out things in YOUR life.

I feel like this can be wrong in many circumstances. However I believe when spread out in 10 songs…some will really describe your life.

And I also believe that one’s life can be made better or worse by changing their favorite songs. I think that if your top 10 songs centered around money, you would have either good or bad situations with money.

However…depending on the songs. Is it about being rich? Having a lot of money? Or is it about being broke? Robbing for it?

Relationship wise? Good songs or bad songs?

How about this.If you want to change the way you feel and the way your life is going…lay out your top 10 Songs.

And take out the songs that you do NOT want your life to be…and add ones that do. Do it for one week and I guarantee you will feel better than the previous week.

Just try it.

(BTW – Shouts to my homie’s Fashawn and J Cole. Congrats on all of the well warranted success.)

I'm glad Jacques wrote this article because now I have something to send people who look at me like I'm crazy when I say that, if I'm in the right mood, I love Jeezy's last album "The Recession." There's nothing better if I'm in a "i just want to turn my mind off and turn the music up" mood.

It's funny how I don't like people seeing the music that I have in my mp3, because it's who I am, it defines me. Songs that I listen to lift my mood, comfort me, make me wanna dance, want to cry. Songs that you really connect to, that you really "feel" are the songs that most likely define you as a person.
That is probably why one of my favorite songs (which is by my favorite MC and off my favorite album) is "Spaceship" by Kanye West, I'm always a dreamer, always working hard, but always feeling like you've accomplished nothing.

My ten songs would be:
"Go Ahead" Alicia Keys
"Stolen Moments" Alicia Keys
"She Wants to Move" N.E.R.D.
"She Just Wanna Dance" Drake feat. Trey Songz
"Good Morning" Kanye West
"Fear" Drake
"Spaceship" Kanye West
"Touch the Sky" Kanye West
"Runnin'" Tupac & Biggie
"Mercury" Karina Pasian
