So today, I realized something while writing a few chapters in my book. Music is a big part of the magic system in the book, and I got to thinking, if it can work in a book, why not real life?
It's no special surprise that music has had an impact on our culture and the way we experience things. Our movies wouldn't be the same without a good soundtrack. Even stage plays wouldn't be the same without some sort of background music. And often, you hear soft music in the background of a romantic resturaunt. I add sound effects to my Dungeons & Dragons games to enhance the emotional, tear-jerking effect my events have on players (I made my mum cry once, and she's a pretty tough gal).
We enjoy music of all types. Pop, rock and roll, heavy metal, country, hip-hop, comtemporary, etc. I personally prefer Irish bands (or the Star Wars Imperial March). But recently, I came across a CD, entirely made up of potentially romantic, non-lyrical songs. I wish I could remember what the cover looked like. But I got to listen to a sample of it, and I was totally blown away by the quality and potential swooning this could bring to a date, even just the typical movie and dinner date.
If you're like me, then music plays a big part of your life, geeky or not. And I would definitely give a guy brownie points for playing romantic music for me, especially at night when everything is quiet, the lights are low, and the atmosphere is just thick with romance. (A girl can dream...)
What do you think about music? Do you think you can woo a girl with some romantic tracks, or does she require the hardcore stuff? Leave your comments below.
