Just talking to someone about music.. and then hit me (I felt no pain ).. music is like the best bonding thing there is. If you are not able to share your love with music with a friend, there will always be some kind of gap.. because music goes sooo deep on an emotional level.. I do have friends that have a totally different taste in music.. and I do love them.. but sometimes when you meet someone and they can really relate to music you love then.. the bonding just goes easier or sth. Especially when it's about The Velvet Underground, who are pretty special to me.. I dunno.. just a thought..
agreed...i was talking to this girl (who in 5 yrs of schooling i've never spoken to) and it turned out she has awesome taste in music, so there you have it, i have a new friend....
yeah me and a friend were talking about this a while ago. the music someone listens to gives you a sort of insight into what they are about, and you can relate easily if you have similar tastes. funny hehehe
Definetley. That's always one of my first questions when I meet someone new, and I'm always doing it at work. Its wrong really, but I feel like we're on the same level or something, sort of like a common ground. I find myself talking to people I normally wouldn't by asking this, like I recently talked to this guy who was really into Pink Floyd, so we got chatting. We must have went through the good and bad points of every song of theirs! I don't think a shift has ever gone so quickly!
I swear this thread is sooo true. I've had at least one relationship fall through coz we couldn't see eye-to-eye on music. Conversely, I've found myself hanging out with some real weirdos who happen to like the same grooves I do. Music forms a sublime bond that goes beyond the material compatibility of people, I guess.
my friends are my friends only because we bonded through music... i dont know if we would have spoke if it wasnt for it.
I would agree that music is used to bond, and has worked for me... but it's all a matter of shared interests. People can bond over almost anything. Hell... two child molesters can bond over thier thrive for young flesh.
