My partner's I-tunes list consisted of a very wide variety. Hip-hop, oldies, and pop were speckled across the selection, though I don’t think a genre was missing. I believe at first glance, the feeling I could identify was that of a well-rounded person. Athena was definitely in tune with her favorites, though her taste in music was not limited. This shows a face of imagination and a willingness to try different things. Also, the music list was well organized and meticulously maintained. It was apparent to me that this underestimated skill ventured beyond her computer and into her daily routine.
An interesting question, I thought to myself, would be to know what song she dislikes the most on her list, and why is it still there? The answer, “More Than a Woman”, displays the importance of matching music to mood, and to ultimately how others see you. Music carries a great deal of meaning and plays into our emotions even more. Even music that is less important has meaning. Athena listens to music for motivation, mood, and maybe even to find insight. This media can be a form of self-reflection. The world may not be able to view one's variety of music, but body language tells the story.
In addition, she synchronizes her daily routine with the beat of her favorite song. Music motivates and rejuvenates her at all times. Perhaps it is easier to examine when she is not listening to music rather than when she is. My partner’s face to the world, her music, encompasses her studies, transportation and meditation. Daily routine and musical interests are combined.
Music is tied to emotions and interests. After a short period, I was impressed by the diversity and depth in Athena's music selection. In further analysis, it was clear that the maintenance of her music indicated a well-rounded and organized person. As viewed from my perspective, passion and detail dominated Athena’s face to the world through this medium.
