Here is one of my many random thoughts I had today. I was on the bus, earbuds in, listening to my playlist on spotify. The bus was crowded, I was tired as hell and everything stressed me out. For context, my playlist is a mess. I like many different genres of music and I never made playlists for certain moods or situations. Because of that, I have to skip a lot of songs in order to find one that fits the general vibe I’m feeling. Today was one of those days. A power metal song I normally love? Too agressive. An epic cover of my favorite disney song? Too emotional. Some random celtic song I found yesterday? Too happy. On days like this, I wish there was a soundtrack composed just for me and the situation I’m in. Some perfectly fitting music that follows me around everywhere I go. Something that’s epic and emotional, relaxing or just happy, depending on what I’m thinking about. In my opinion, music can describe emotions better than words or pictures. That’s why I love soundtracks in general. They tell me so much about a character. I know that my life is not very interesting over all, and I wouldn’t want everyone to listen to it. It would just be cool to always have something perfect to listen to so I can drown out the annoying stuff around me and the voices of people I don’t want to hear. What do you think about that? Would you like a personal soundtrack or do you enjoy silence more?

I agree. It would have to be something I can turn on or off at any time, especially when I’m trying to sleep. If the music reflects my mood, it wouldn’t make it easy for me to fall asleep because I have all kinds of thoughts in my head when I go to bed

I do the exact same thing in similar situations. My playlist is like yours in that it’s just all kinds of music thrown together, resulting in me also sitting on the bus sometimes and skipping songs, also with the reasons in mind. I never came up with a thought experiment like this in response though, but it sounds fascinating. I too like the idea of it, but I’d like to be able to tune in to and out of it at all times as I’d like.
