This is not so much an ask thread as it is a task one. The idea is simple: for any/all of the categories below, identify music from your library or experiences that fits the bill, and explain a bit about why.

You can choose any from the list, or do all if you like, but please do NOT just list items with no explanation! Your thoughts are the exciting parts of this exercise, not just the music itself, so please share!

For the purposes of this inventory, "music" can refer to a specific lyric, a song, an album, an artist, or even a concert or event -- really anything that you think fits the bill. If you want to go into multiples per category, that's fine too -- just remember to explain them!

Inventory Items

Tell me about music that:

Is an instant mood lift

Is emotionally devastating

You've cried to

Reminds you of someone you love

Reminds you of someone you used to love

Brings you back to a specific memorable moment/time in your life

Helps you relax

Amps you up

Makes you feel safe

Could put you to sleep (in a good way)

Makes you feel like you're on an adventure

Reminds you that there is beauty in this world

Impresses you

Makes you smile

Makes you laugh

You don't have to do all of them -- only the ones you feel strongly about or that have interesting stories behind them. Also, feel free to add on new categories in the comments that people can also respond to.
