The question of "which is more important" is always lost on me when it's about songs that fall into different categories. Its like making a comparison between hip-hop music and Blues. Or a comparison between Afritunes and K-pop.
I believe that each category of music has its period and time even though I'm more fond of some categories of music than others. I still have moments when I feel like listening to songs that I rarely pay attention to in normal situations. So, just like most people, I basically have a complex taste for music depending on a lot of complex situations.
Here's a snippet...
Their sort of songs are called classical music and those are like a guilty pleasure to me especially when they are used as soundtracks in a dark-themed psychologically thrilling crime TV show. That's just how I love them and I have a folder filled with songs like that.
It's about time I quickly introduced you to some of the music and musicians I listen to;
The list sorta goes wild in this regard although I'm not a very loyal fan of most modern musicians. When I listen to songs that I fancy, I give the artist his/her flowers for a job well done. And, I'm always open to saying "nah" to the ones that just don't whet my appetite.
I'd have people like ABBA, Eminem, Sia, Bella Poarch, Imagine Dragons, Lindsey Stirling, and a few others in my list who I vibe to most of the songs they put up.
Recency Bias... I'm giving a special shout-out to Lindsey Stirling by attaching one of her songs to this post. She's one of the artists I recently came across and I've had so much fun checking out her songs. What she does with her violin is electrifying and her music video ideas are always filled with mind-blowing creativity.
I also listen to a very shrunken list of Afritunes and I listen to those once in a blue moon. Just last night, I decided to check out my Afritunes playlist and someone continuously lamented "I didn't know you have these sorta songs" in your playlist. Haha. I wasn't surprised about that reaction though. I mostly play my songs through my earphones.
I also have a good list of really old songs that I enjoyed during my childhood, thanks to my Dad's love for music. As a kid, I don't think I really fancied listening to those. However, I grew up digging into my childhood memories to fetch those songs and add them to my old-school music playlist.
Being a music lover adds an interesting adventure to my life. It's a beautiful feeling.
