That was weird

by Timer

So someone suggested I listen to "Weightless" by Marconi Union. It was supposed to be this incredibly relaxing song.

After a couple of minutes I had to turn it off. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack.

Weird.

Nods, I myself wonder at times what people are thinking when they tell me "You have to listen to this..."

It's the musical equivalent of white noise. For most people the constant droning is soothing, like rain. For people that are actively listening to it and not doing anything else, the droning will quickly become annoying.

But I've literally never heard of someone having a panic attack from it. That's rather odd. I suggest classical music as a soothing alternative. Or heavy metal. :P

I wasn't really actively listening to it, just put it on in the background. After a few minutes it started to get to me. So much so that I thought maybe someone was playing a joke on me. That instead of being relaxing the song was actually designed to cause anxiety. When I looked around online about it sources kept saying it was scientifically designed to be relaxing.

Interestingly right after that I decided to listen to Michael Nyman's Piano Concerto. Fixed me right up.
