Thinking Music!!!

[Graceful]

Do You Have "Thinking Music"? Like When Doing Homework With?
I Have -
Final Fantasy Soundtracks
Green Day (Stuffs)
Some Random J-Pop On Shuffle Etc,

 

[poopnoodle]

I listen to something with a slow and concrete beat and lacking vocals when I need to focus, liek jazz or slow bluegrass or sumthn.

 

[Ayselipera]

I listen to classical or opera when I'm doing homework because songs with words keep me from thinking and instead I just end up singing the song. Plus I find classical/opera to be very relaxing.

 

[Houndour2004]

I use Andreas Vollenweider.

 

[Skweetis]

Metal and rock usually, heavy music is my muse.

 

[The Cynic]

When getting homework done, the best albums are:

Sigur Ros - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

and

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell

and

Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland

All very calming and invigorating albums. There aren't many lyrics either so you arn't distracted by some addicitive chorus.

 

[Saltare.]

Ironically enough, I just got done with my homework listening to music. It helps me concentrate. Like chewing gum.

I usually listen to Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Forever The Sickest Kids, Hit The Lights, or some T-Swift.

 

[dannichols]

Well, yes, I do "Think" music alot of the time. Well, maybe all the time.

 

[Gary the Magic Fairy]

I listen to Nickelback when I need to focus on something other than the music. Their music is better when you're trying to ignore it, anyways.

 

[.Fenris]

Saki Kaskas' Callista is some good relaxing music, imo.

 

[Eliminator Jr.]

It's scientifically proven that music that is at 60 beats per minute with no words are best for studying and all that. When I study, or do homework, I usually listen to any of the following albums (they don't all fit the criteria above, this is just what I listen to):

• An Accidental Memory In The Case of Death by Eluvium, which is piano instrumental.
• Chulahoma by The Black Keys, which is a blues/rock duo covering the songs of Junior Kimsbrough, which in the style they play them are generally relaxing.
• The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place by Explosions In The Sky, instrumental and relaxing.

And other things. Those three albums generally work the best for me though.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

My 'thinking music' is Lux Aeterna, from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack. The composer is Clint Mansell, and it's really epic.

Either that or Shimomura Youko's Scythe of Petals, Marluxia's battle theme from KH.

 

[SquirtleGirl]

Whatevers on Shuffle. Though probably something with not much lyrics cause they tend to distract me :S

 

[Esmas]

Yep, I usually listen to rock and metal instrumentals and video game music when I'm thinking/doing homework, since lyrics always to tend to force me to sing along. I don't care how fast or slow it; the faster it is, the faster I should do my homework XD;

 

[PokeRemixStudio]

I have a bunch of electronica music that is cool-sounding but not distracting. I consider it thinking music because it doesn't try to grab my attention with lyrics or annoying melodies, and creates a nice athmosphere to work in.

 

[deliriouspurple]

I used to do that all of the times everytime I focus unto something I think some music.>..>

 

[igrok]

not think but some emotions

 

[Kikaito plush]

when tring to write " Curtis Talli" stories I litsen to my Zelda CD.

 

[Daeva Okami-Luca]

Any boondox. makes me think about the fragility of my life and how i would love to end it so quickly.

 

[professor plum]

For me, music that makes me think . . are songs Enya, Celtic Woman, Sarah Brightman, Andrea Boccelli, et cetera.

It's so soft and soothing, and it helps relax me so I can do some of my best thinking. It's not what I listen to normally, but yeah.

[it just so happens that it's also the music that helps me go to sleep sometimes XD]
