Title: music while you drive
Post by: Richie London on 18 April 2009, 18:48:04
last few weeks ive had bowie, nirvana, and eminem, the who on while driving and been a bit sporty and more petrol. last week i changed it over to a more relaxed style. angie stone, millie jackson, david gray and ive slowed down and more relaxed driving, less petrol

do you think the music you play in the car affects how you drive??

Meat Loaf's 'Bat out of Hell' is one of my favourites that 'gets me going', as does Led Zep's "Stairway to Heaven". ::) ::)

The Beatles "Ticket to Ride" makes for a fairly relaxed ride. :D :D

In heavy traffic or just big motorway hold ups it is The Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" that I put up full volume. 8-) 8-) 8-)

So yes, the answers for me is that the music does affect how you drive! ;D ;D ;D ;)

I cannot pretend to have come under enemy fire (or was it blue on blue with the Americans!!) but certainly can understand what you mean.   Music can, and often does, relate to certain tragic or very happy moments in your life and form an indelible life long emotional link.

Maybe not quite the same, but similar, I was very much of the anti-Vietnam generation, with some strong passions about what the USA was doing.  Some years later a drama documentary was made about a group of young American conscripts being called up to fight in Nam. For me an unforgettable piece of this great film was a true scene of B52's unloading their bombs in standard 'carpet bombing practice' to the musical accompaniment of Pachelbel,s Canon :o :o :o :o :o.

Whenever I hear that music, which I do play in the car, I just 'live' that scene as the beauty of that music, and the horrors of war, interplays with each other :'( :'(

I hear ya, it was actually a video made for Major Medical Incident Management training and its pretty horrific including one snap where you see a press conference and then boom black all lights are out and panic.  Its amazing that footage carried on but it's not very nice....  :'(
