Music that makes a difference... with a small dose of science.

I am ADHD out the wazoo, which means quite a lot of things, one of which was I had an awesome childhood, well... until I got caught doing "stuff" it was awesome. Walking in the kitchen and having your mother just look at you and say... "YOU!" And of the 400 things you have done wrong that week, which one did she know about? No bloody wonder that I got anxiety, lol!


Ok, where was I?
At about age 10 I discovered Pink Floyd, and at age 11 saved my pocket money and bought Dark Side of the Moon about a month after it was released. And I never really understood why, but that album has been a staple for over 50 years.

I recently started researching why.
OK, going to hang out my shingle here.

DISCLAIMER: - This is one man's highly inflated opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt as in all probability he has absolutely no clue what he is talking about and no serious background knowledge in the subject other than what he would of read off the back of a cereal packet as a child.

That said, my favourite website is Google Scholar, and I read a lot of peer reviewed stuff from people with lots of letters after their name.

It has taken me a while to piece this all together, but basically ADHD has a kryptonite!
And it is spatially fluctuating noises.

Let me explain, all your senses are dumped in a small ummm, wallnut sized part of your brain called the Thalmus. All except your sense of smell for some weird reason. And stimulants like Ritalin etc hype up the thalmus enough to ensure the person is getting enough sensory input to feel normal, and not all dead inside and needing to just... "do something".

Apparently sticking a set of earbuds in someone's ears and bouncing noises all around their head has the same effect. I will have to take the experts word on this, I don't have a MRI machine at my disposal to check like they do.

But I do know listening to Pink Floyd gave me and still gives me an inner peace, even after over 50 years of flogging it to death.

And an honourable mention to @tyme for linking Tubthumping, awesome! Love that song.

Feel free to share a link for any music that has been special for you.
I'm curious what other people listen to.
