This one's about thoughts
Until recently I couldn't listen to Kings of Leon. I still can't, I find them (and him) to be extremely shallow musically and dull. But only until recently it used to bring up the worst memories and throw me back to some dark places. During most of last year when I went to work and the radio stations here would brainwash you with those songs (9-10 times a day, no joke). That in time imprinted those thoughts and emotions on the back of my head along with the sounds and tones of those songs.

It's obviously not Kings of Leon's fault, nor the radio stations here who do their best to play as few songs possible as many times possible. Today Kings of Leon were screaming through the radio after a long recess... I found that those ghosts have left me and the imprint has faded to an echo of the past. It was a cheerful realization that made me almost like Kings of Leon... but I went too far. I don't like them... yet. :) I just thought how both daunting and rewarding the effects of music can be.

Brawn   I used to not like happy music too but now I feel like I sometimes need it. I still can't say that I like it but it makes me happy when I need it. When I don't need it I can't listen to it.

Maisy   This is true, music can have such a profound effect on the mind. Music Therapy is a very interesting thing to research because music can really make or break some people. I've always loved depressing music like the blues for example because I was a bit jaded and I thought it helped me to feel, I thought it wasn't good to be happy all the time cause what goes up must come down. But then I was feeling in real life and listening to this music such as Nine Inch Nails at the same time which sent me to dark places. What was balancing my emotions before was now having a negative effect and I became increasingly depressed and lonely. So now, because life has gotten harder, I need to balance my emotions by listening to happy music. I find the plus and negative thing works but I do get annoyed with happy music so I try to listen to weird lyrics instead, which confuse me and make me laugh, it makes me think instead of feel. I listen to a lot of Blondie now, my favourite album is 'No Exit'.

Speak up! Stop muttering!

So, what is this?

This is the official website of DNA-Groove (or Eliran Ben Ishai). He is a musician who lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and composes music with passion. He doesn't like to speak about himself in the 3rd person, so I'll just say that you are welcome to listen and speak, download and share everything here. Thank you for coming.
