The "Music and Feelings" Thread

I always wanted a place where I can endlessly talk about how a certain song or piece makes me feel. Not just whether I like or hate a song, but I always wanted to share with others how certain music makes me feel.

You guys can comment here (with huge posts if you want) and express your feelings on music. Not feelings like, this sucks and I like this, etc. but more like you emotions during a certain chorus in a song by some band. Or how the piano in a piece makes you feel that the year is the ending. You get my point.

I guess I'll start.

Shoegaze is on of my favorite genres. I like it because I can genuinely feel the music. The wall of distortion concenrtrates around my head. It literally feels like drugs and the dreamier version make me feel like I'm floating.

LCD Soundsystem's song "Home" is a song that I like, but it feels hollow. Like not in a negative sense, but it feels like there's a lot of space, and there isn't an invisible thread holding it together tightly.

Jazz songs using jazz scales doesn't hit me directly. The music feels like it's intelligent, and always poking fun at me and teasing me, but I don't have a direct emotional response to the music like I do to songs using the blues scale. A lot of jazz feels like an smart friend who I genuinely admire and respect, and even enjoy talking to, but a friend that I cannot directly relate to.
