My parents own that album...hopefully you'll like it.

You may also want to watch Fantasia and Fantasia 2000...classical music, neat animations--always a favorite of mine.

The only thing I'd warn you about with Fantasia is that like any purely classical work, there are extreme variations in volume so you'll be cranking it for a few minutes for really quiet parts--then getting it REALLY loud for the loud parts. That may not be your cup of tea, depending on how much you find you have to adjust the volume.

A good question! I feel the vibration in the closed room but don’t understand what the music talks about. I like to dance, can dance without the music because I have the rhythmic in my body.

I wonder about the music is for Deaf's world?

Interesting

I was always fascinated by the way my favorite Classical musician wrote his masterpiece while he was totally deaf,
(in the ears anyways.)

I would love to read a description of what people without functional ears feel like when Beethoven's 9th is played, especially on a high quality stereo with good Bass . . .

There's something about certain parts of it that rattles the heart in a way that I suppose only people with disabled ears could adequately appreciate the subtle empowerment of it . . .

I can hear the music, but can't understand the words. I prefer the 70's variety country music, as well as jazz. The loud rock and the boom, boom-boom music actually hurts my ears.

To be honest, I used to hear music, but when I kept losing my hearing through the years, I cannot hear the same anymore even it is very hard to sounding out who is singing, unless I watched MTV or Country, I can turn up the volume and hear Faith Hill's songs. I admire her because her songs are something I like to listen to. One of my favorite is "This Kiss"


I forgot to add that when turning up the volume, I can read the closed caption and sing along, while hearing the beat of the music.

Cannot stand modern or classical music ... just a loud bunch of noise to me!

Don't mind the rock 'n' roll rhythm or opera singing, especially Mario Lanza who is my fav.

Same here..unless I memorize the lyrics. I worked so hard memorizing the lyrics of the 80s pop songs so whenever they are played on CD or radio, I still can identify the songs and words. Not too bad for someone with a profound bilateral loss of 120 dB!

When I have music I feel alive.

DJ Tiesto's Adiago for Strings makes me feel like Im flying through a perfect blue sky.

Darren Hayes makes me feel like Im riding a neon bird through time.

I can hear the music, I can feel the beat vibrating down my spine, its insane to know how much I feel with music. One of the reasons that deep down I want to be a pop star knowing how much I feel.

Metal gives me really intense feelings and visions. Techno - WOW alot of colors especially blue and green.

Am I the only one that feels this much?

A bouta Music ...

I grew up listenin' to music on stereo or radio, cassette player and records back in the 70's to the 80, I have family that hears and listens to music also my daddy plays all kinds of instrument, harmonia, guitar, banjo and more, I even learned how to plays the guitar by readin' the music book "Love Somebody, Yes I Do" and harmonia. I ended up bringin' my dancin' shoes to my Elementary school and puttin' on my dancin' shoes started dancin' in front of everybody, I'm soo embarassed and I even sings too, the class looks at me like what the hell, heh LOL!

I remember when I was 14, I listened to Crystal Gayle, love this song called "Baby, What About Youuuuu". and back in the 90's heard on radio Teresa Yearwood singin' "She's In Love With The Boyyy" and I was singin' this to this hearin' guy while we was makin' out, Oops! LOL

My mom's sister's husband and nephew plays instrument, very good also my cousin has his own band called Fantasy Midnight and the band split after he got married and had kids, good gravy, LOL!

Then in the 90's to now I have CD player, all kinds of music to listens to and plus I can catch some of the words they said like "We Will ROCK You" and "Feels Like Makin' Love" and "My Girl", "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" and "Fire Inside", Sweet Home Alabama", there's too much I can really catch what they says, too much to listed...

I love Music, it lifted my spirits, makes me happy and makes me feels good and warm all over, I love the vibration "Boom" sounds.

I love Bette Midler, I love her voice, I love the way it sounds, I even like Julie Andrew sings in the movie Sound of Music, love that too.

I cannot resisted music, I must have it, I wish my man can hear, he can hears onlys the boom (vibration), I have feelin' for many deaf who cannot hears, wish they could hears it, they would go wild, LOL!

Oh oh oh I love Third Eye Blind, "Never Let You Go", very hot!

Ummm I even like KID ROCK, heh LOL!

ok, that just made me laugh! I actually enjoy Hanson's music. Have you heard their new stuff lately?

I enjoy listening to music. Mostly pop/rock, some R&B, with words. Definitely NO bass turned on, please. I hate the bass with music. When I listen to a new song, I have no idea what it's about so I have to go find the words and read along when I listen. After reading the lyrics a few times, then I can listen to the song without needing to read for the most part... will be able to understand most words but not all of them. And I'm horrible at memorizing songs.

Ever since I got my new Naida hearing aid, I've mainly been listening to old familiar songs, songs I can easily recognize. At first, bassboost was turned on for my HA, so the music sounded horrible. But it's better now with bassboost off, but still sounds different. But it sounds good, and that's all that matters to me.

I can still listen to music with my HA's and the DAI input. I still can recite all the songs I learned from before 1999 (when I lost my hearing) and now have more difficult time. I am somewhat afraid to sing anymore though; I loved to sing before and had great range across multiple octaves. If Im alone, i will sing songs i knew from before. Although not understanding all lyrics now, i do appreciate watching any Shakira video.

I am able to hear the music -- I don't understand the words. The music must not be too loud.

I don't have hearing aids.

Can hear some of the music (the beat), but not understand words or 'melody'.
Also feel it too.

And I tend to like 'metal' and energetic music, at the right volume (not to where it makes me sick from vibration) but play other types of music also.

Heh, you've done better than me. I can't identify most songs but I still can recognize Thriller as it always begins with a scream. Nor can I remember the words to a song that I did for the MSSD concert. The only words I can remember from Flashdance is "What a feeling" That's about it.

Beethoven is the only classical music I can identify. I can id other classical music but because no one told me what I was listening to, I have no idea who I am listening to.

i can hear, but cant hear the lyrics, maybe 5- 10 words at random

aI like classical, jazz, electronica and the old dub (pre-electronica) some rock from the 70s 80's as their instruments are well separated and does have a rhythm unlike todays musics its so bland and flat, the voices are even worse smeared and barely recognisable. also had to watch the volume and not play music for too long due to real bad tinnitus.
to give a rough idea what i like for each genres are;

tbh i like electronica the most, theres some really really good ones......


Jazz -duke ellington, miles davis, chet baker
classical -beethoven, choplin, mozart
rock- the cars,split enz, police, eagles, INXS,
electronica - trancedayproject, plastikman, daft punk, yello (it was way ahead of its time, im talking about before they got famous from the ferris beuller's days off film...)
pop - madonna, van halen,
female - bjork, sinad o'connor,
male - paul young,paul simon, perry como (yes thats old)
dub,- Almamagretta, african head charge, little britain


theres more and I HTH
