  #workout #music #gym #motivation #Emotions #satisfaction Music has the power to make exercise feel less drudgerous. But why do some songs positively affect an individual's exercise experience and lead to   peak performance   more than others? I know from decades of visiting fitness facilities a few times a week that controlling the music I'm listening to during a workout boosts  motivation , increases satisfaction, and creates a more positive emotional state whether I'm doing cardio or lifting weights. Look around any fitness facility with music playing in the background, and you'll notice that most people prefer to use earbuds, which block out facility-selected melodies and let gymgoers control what they hear during a workout. However, until now, there has yet to be much evidence-based research on why gymgoers tend to block out facility-selected music by wearing earbuds and seem to prefer having the ability to choose what they're listening to during a workout.

#Humanity #Music #SongsintheKeyofLife #StevieWonder #Peace #Love #Light " Songs in the Key of Life " To say this Album means Everything to me is an understatement. Throughout his conceptual album, Stevie both sings and writes of Peace, Love, Identity, Faith, Environmental Consciousness, and Cultural Awareness , to name a few. When the album was released, I was ten years old. I spent countless hours reading the liner notes—the lyrics for all the songs. I wanted to know all the people who wrote, sang, played on the album. Much of the album's depth was far too over my head as a ten-year-old, and only a few years later (Lol) do I have a little more understanding of what he was giving us. I've seen Stevie Wonder three times in my life. The first was in church, not long after moving to Los Angeles. The second time while attending Oprah's Farwell show (thanks to my brother Corey & sister in law Carrie), the third time was when my sister Sharon (R.I.P.) bought ti...

#PinkFloyd #UsandThem #LondonPhilharmonicOrchestra #JazColeman #Youth #PeterSchole #Music Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd is an instrumental album of Pink Floyd songs. The album was arranged by Jaz Coleman, produced by Youth and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Peter Scholes. The album cover was painted by Roger Dean who is known for his organic paintings. "Us and Them" and "The Great Gig in the Sky," two of Pink Floyd's most beautiful compositions, lend themselves well to the symphonic treatment, especially the latter's use of solo violin to re-create the original's astonishing Claire Torry vocal solo.  The version of "Time" closes the album With its moody sound effects and long, trance-like sections, the arrangement wisely uses only the song's main themes, rather than trying to re-create the original structure.  In his liner notes, Coleman said he'd intended to demonstrate that music onc...

#MariahCarey #AllIWantforChristmasIsYou #Xmas #Music Mariah Carey debuted a new video for her Christmas classic ( and 19th number one hit ) “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Or should we say, “All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)?” Why a new video?  To celebrate the number one, in part, but also because Mariah  needs  to be festive. More production values! Lighting! Everything that the holiday season brings. In a Q&A on YouTube before the video’s premiere, Carey said “There’s a lot of things to be discovered in this clip,” including a cameo from her dog Cha Cha.  “We wanted to make a modern classic,” she said. “That’s kind of been the theme of this song.” During the Q&A she hinted at a new album with some new collaborators that you wouldn’t expect from the elusive chanteuse Mimi. “Two different guys, actually,” she said. “The more the merrier, I always say. It’s Christmas!” By Bethy Squires  -vulture.com
