Music to my Ears

Well, I'm back, after a bit of very questionable mental stability and a bunch of stuff I'd rather not mention. In recent days, I've been relying a lot on music to keep my mind in a fairly decent state. Today, I was listening to a song I really like, when I noticed something really interesting in it (skip to 1:39 or 2:05 if you want to get straight to the point).

 

So I was caught off guard by that, but I thought it was kind of cool.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot more about how my love for music and my enjoyment of the sound of a heartbeat. I think that they really are quite connected. I am especially fond of dubstep and I think that one of the reasons I like it so much is that most dubstep songs have a very strong beat to them. It may seem odd to try to relate heartbeats and music that is usually seen as violent or irritating, but I think that it makes sense. One of the things I enjoy about the sound of a heartbeat is that it is steady and rhythmic. I think that in some senses, many people who love music enjoy it because of this.

So here, my theory that there are many people who are like me and people on HBP in the enjoyment of heartbeats, seems quite possible. I think that people often are looking for something that is stable. Many people can find this in music, with beats from drums or other instruments that are repetitive and evenly spaced. Others can find this in the sound that I and others enjoy, the sound of a heartbeat.

I just wanted to share some of my thoughts about a connection between heartbeats and music, hopefully I will be able to be back to blogging more often.
