Its amazing how different sounds can make us feel different emotions and feelings. While I was trying to search for some soothing sounds on YouTube, I noticed that in most, if not all the sound video’s consisted of sounds of birds chirping and the sound of water falling. I noticed that the soothing sounds were slow and soft. The video clip ” Relaxation Meditation Nature Sounds” consist of musical instruments played by the Native’s along with the sounds of nature which allow me to escape this monday morning to a beautiful tropical island. When I closed my eyes and heard this sound I imagined my self stuck on an island, between trees and many different colorful tropical birds, I pictured myself in front of a smooth beautiful waterfall. The waterfall was small and light, about seven floors high. I escaped into a time far from now, the sun was going down, the sky was shades of pink and blue, UNTIL……
Until my sister played around with the sounds I was listening to, playing horrific sounds, which made me end up in a place where I was running for my life ! – Light out -
… I realized that the sound of lightning, thunder and rain made me feel like I was in a dark, abandoned place. I was on the street, lost, forgotten … I felt like I was looking for something or someone or some place … some place more secure I guess … Then the sounds got louder … more ferocious … which made me want to run from where ever I was, I felt like I was soaked, and drenched. By the end of the clip I just felt more lost …
This was an entirely different feeling from listening to the soothing music of waterfalls and birds chirping. I also noticed the sound of crows common in creepy sound clips which ended up giving me the shivers.
