Does what's going on in your life influence your take on the music?

Here's what I mean. I sadly was dealing with health problems right when C5 dropped. I love a huge chunk of the songs on there right now and probably could get into even more with more listens of the album, but because of what I was going through during my first several listens, the music is tainted for me in a way. I almost like the C5 OG version that dropped last year more because I don't associate it with any negative events in my life, besides that it also reflected how I had anticipated the album sounding back when it was meant to come out in 2014. Obviously this is really subjective, like imagine a reviewer on youtube tryna review albums with this type of gauge. From an unbiased perspective I probably like both versions pretty equally, just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience where the music intertwined with their life experiences whether in a good or bad situation. Long story short it's just like hearing a song and it takes you back to a certain time.

100%

I actually had a similar experience with C5. Was going through a lot when I first heard it, and let it all work out immediately became my favourite song from the album. The album got me through a lot of tough places, and I still find myself putting it on when something bad happens in my life lol. I think of it as my favourite wayne album (along with C3) but who knows? Maybe if I wasn't going through a bad time back then it wouldnt be (C2 would probably take its place)

I think this might be why i like nc2 so much. Great time in my life.

Yeah, any Wayne project can take me back to where I was and what I was doing or feeling at the time. I smoked and sipped lean to C5 as a tribute to the goat and was celebrating victory with him on the better side of hard times, for example.

1000%. Dedication 5 brings me to a certain time in my life, literally experienced this today when I tried to listen

[Lucifer]

100% for sure, dedication 3 was my favorite time in my life and its probably why i enjoy that tape so much (i know its not his best but i enjoy it so much)

[back on my bullish*t]

i would say no bit reading the replies maybe i am wrong

[lilwayne-carter]

FWA was an important time in my life and that album will always be close to me

[Shake]

I hope no one had COVID when Funeral came out

[Bat121]

Absolutely. But more so the type of mood I’m in determines what type of his songs I wanna listen to. I try to listen to shit that either reflect my situation or reflect the mood I wanna be in

[Skankhunt42]

Yes absolutely. Music helps me get through so many things in life.

[WeEeEeEzZzZyYy]

what if im going through something right now, there is no new project for me to listen to and associate with my problems
