In these happy times, I feel the urge to listen to classical music. But not exclusively! I also love to listen to my favorites, the "normal" music. The music that, together with the books I've read and the movies I've seen made a big part of the person I am today. I still listen happily to Bon Jovi, Take That, Oasis, Metallica and many many others. I also like some of the new young bands, such as The 1975 or Bastille. But what I have learned in the last few years is the joy of "discovering" new bands or songs (new to me,obvious). Such as Arctic Monkeys. Such as Chvrches. And many many others that bring me joy with their creations.
How wonderful is it to bring happiness and joy to people who will most likely never meet you? How amazing is it that an artist from England, USA or any other country in the world has reached me, a housewife and mom-to-be from East Europe?
I have an absolute respect for singers. I am totally unable to carry a tune, my husband always makes fun of me saying that he's going to be the one who sings to the baby. According to him I will be the one reading stories and doing other things, but I must never sing because that would most likely make the child cry instead of helping her fall asleep faster.
I listened to a lot of dance music and that always put them to sleep (in the belly) :). AND after they were born they could always fall asleep with loud music :))).
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting! So it's the music the baby hears while "in the belly" that maybe influences his/her future preferences. And it definitely influences their habits. What if you listen to some music while eating a certain food (fish or grapefruit or broccoli)? Will the baby want to eat that particular food while listening to that music? :)
