Music moves me.
In MBA, we get to know about all these types of people. There are so many differentiations they will make your head spin.There is Type A and Type B. Then there is the differentiation that depends on types of learning styles- the auditories and the visuals and the kinesthetics and what-nots. All these differentiations are supposed to help you understand yourself better.
I am a visual learner by definition. I can't retain half the things said to me, I space out. I remember things I read. Now this is supposed to help me understand myself. Sadly, it doesn't.
There is one cranky quality no one has explained to me yet. When I watch a movie with my friends, they cry at the words said, they ooh and aah at the beautiful locations, they appreciate the acting of protagonists. I , strangely , am obtusely oblivious to that. Only one thing affects me- the background music.
Music has that effect on me. It can reduce me to tears in seconds, it can make me want to dance, to look in the mirror feeling that I am special and beautiful, or to start ruminating about the wonder that is the world around me. I admit it is crazy but a 30-second long piece of music has that effect on me, more than a visual or thousands of words heard or read. If I am ever motivated to change the way I think, it will be because of the inspiration I get through a piece of music, and nothing else.
This is the reason, every once in a while I get stuck on a particular section of a song or a particular scene in a movie. I just relive it , yes 'Live' it again and again, till the moment comes when the music is stored in my memory for eternity.
For me , the music is the star. I could watch crappy actors in a silent film if the background score is good, because that's what gives character to the scene.
What 'type' of individual does that make me? I wish someone would try to explain that !
PS : My latest obsession (actually its relapse, I have been addicted to this tune in the past) is the minutes 1:28:45 to 1:34:46 of JUST MARRIED (Ashton Kutcher, Brittney Murphy). I fell in love with the movie because of that music. :)
Cheers !!
