Music from Another World

We listen to different music when we are happy, when we are sad, when we are productive, when we are joyful. Different pieces resonate with different mindspaces.
I like to think of each piece of music as coming from its own world. Consider those two mixes:

If you listen closely, you can feel they are coming from two different worlds. One, with heroes and epic battles, another - with exploration, nature, curiosity.
When you listen to music, you get immersed in its respective world. And - you channel that world in what you do at the moment.
I created a work I'm most proud of to date as a programmer while listening to the Minecraft OST linked above.
Music is a powerful tool for me to get into the right flow, and flow is everything while creating.
I've been using this unconsciously but realized it only recently. So I'm now collecting music for different vibes in separate playlists on YouTube, so that when I need to get into a certain flow - work or rest for example - I can use music to get me to that flow.
It's such a powerful tool for me, so decided to share :)
