This was quite insightful; I often feel whatever I do is just copies of other things. I hope that you didn’t feel like you had to make yourself sad for us, and that it didn’t feel like an obligation. However, if it was eye-opening, I’m so happy for you! Also the music at the end was beautiful; If it’s a song secretly to be released I’m very excited
You could try going without devices, or social media for a day/week/whatever time frame you prefer. I do this once a week, and find so much more peace with both myself and my surroundings than what I felt before I started it....
So it actually worked just not the way you expected. You were hoping that you would clear out space so you could hear the inner music. But instead it cleared the way so that when you came back on to music. Your pallet was cleared so the new ideas could flood in and you could see them with fresh perspective
everyone's in here talking about how horrible it would be to live without music and then there's me who has spent months outdoors with nothing but the sounds of nature wondering what the big fuss is. Don't get me wrong, I love and enjoy music too but I also spend a lot of time in mostly silence with just my fan blowing and other background noises from outside.
To me background noises also count as music. Nature’s music! 😃 I love the sounds of the ocean and the trees; they’re the best music to ground me when I’m having a breakdown.
@@Bookwormscififan I know what you mean. I'm from Galveston. The sounds of the waves and birds can be wonderfully relaxing when you get away from the traffic and tourists. But I've also spent my time in the woods and here lately I've moved out to colorado so there's lots of fresh experiences here. But I also enjoy the sounds of city life too. The steady hum of traffic, people outside, the steady breezes running through the city. I guess I'm just one of those types. My mom wasn't though. She always had the radio playing when I was little, or a record playing or a tape or CD, anything. She always wanted music playing or the tv going.
I honestly can’t imagine not listening to music, it’s how I relax, focus, feel happy, calm down and just everything and how I connect to the world. Thank you for making this video, it just again reminded me of how amazing music is ❤️
Funny how you thought the lack of inspiration would lead to more of it. As soon as you started listening to things again you felt more inspired than ever, so really this exercise did benefit you in the end i think.
"You need inspiration to create" Me, a fanfic writer: Eyup I would mostly listen to music on the bus riding to and from university; with the lockdown, I found myself listening a lot less and only got back into it several months later.
Just seeing the trees and lake wherever you guys were staying reminded me of my cottage ☺️ and I love listening to nature when I’m there, it’s so beautiful 😌
I won't go into details as to why, but I will say that I really needed this video today, especially the message at the end about the origins of creativity. And the song preview, AAAA I can't wait to hear the full version. "You don't have to have it all figured out (for me?)" made me start crying. I don't know the context or inspiration for the song, but your soft voice and gentle style hit something deep inside, formed a crack in a once-believed-to-be impregnable box I stuffed myself into. I feel vulnerable when listening to you and your work, and it's such a freeing feeling. I'm forever excited to see what comes next from you. Well wishes to you and yours, Malinda. 💛
As someone who doesn't experience silence, music is everything to me. When it's quiet my tinnitus is painfully loud. Sometimes I just rub my fingers by my ears to have something to alleviate it.
I'm not sure if I could do this, music is in my mind and a big part of my life. My name even means "Celestial Melody". I hope it was worth it Malinda 💖
I'm gonna throw this out there, but there existed a time in the not-to-distant past where listening to music was considered a luxury, and people were still able to be creative. It may juat be a sign of the times, but it's always nice to remind ourselves how good we have things.
I cannot get over how beautiful it is wherever you went with your mom!!!! October is one of my favourite months for a good reason, with all the pretty leaf colours, but I have never seen views as stunning as that.
Last year when California went into lockdown, my normally sonically vibrant neighborhood went silent. No cars driving around, no kids playing outside, no music from nearby houses. It was unsettling. Like you, I need music playing in the background or my brain feels "off kilter".
It did WOT!? And for how long? Here it took like 2 days and these people wouldn't care if the road was lava, they'd blare their bass and peel up and down the parking lots like friggin nascar anyway! :P
Ya I could never pull this challenge off. Lately I've felt like I listen to TOO much music. when I'm working. Driving. Relaxing. Working out. Working in the basement. Ect. So I've been trying to occasionally turn it off. It just makes me enjoy it more when I turn it back on. A good balance I think.
What you said about how your mind works when it comes to music is so relatable. If I'm not listening to music, I nearly always have a song playing in my head. I usually wake up with a song in my head, and some of them are songs I haven't even listened to for several weeks. Also the colors of the trees and the scenery of your trip with your mom were STUNNING!! And I love your smile :) and your personality!
I'm so happy for you for reaching day 5 and realizing/experiencing so many of these beautiful sounds up close. These are what take me out of stress and into peace. Do it. Do 5 days without music. And I 100% agree with your epiphany about creativity. A sweet, darling dork!! I want to get to that point of genuine beauty enjoyment where I'd be willing to share it with more than just my hubby and God.
Greetings, when in a quiet space my mind creates music chaos like you. I used to play violin/viola 20-years ago. Every Lent I give up listening to modern music and will only listen to Gregorian Chant for no more then 1-hr a day. It helps spiritually but also reminds me to appreciate the sounds around me and music in itself. Thank you and just discovered you today!
I don't challenge myself to stop listening to music, but I challenge myself to listen to more uplifting and less depressing music. A lot of music is not very encouraging or godly--it's amazing what listening to KLOVE will do! 😊
I can’t even imagine doing this. I play piano but learn the songs by ear so I’m a music geek. And not listening to music and not having to listen to Jessica’s break up and veronicas love story sounds like a NIGHTMARE😶💀
The feelings of peace and relaxation I got from this video just showed me how little I've been letting myself breathe this week. Thank you for all the joy you bring to my life and I look forward to getting to hear more of your new music💕
This made me think about how I experienced the world when I was little because I kind of had the opposite experience to this for a very long time. Before I became I teenager I did not enjoy listening to music whatsoever and I actively avoided it because I found it too distracting. I preferred to listen to sounds around me and enjoyed just spending time with my own thoughts. But once I did start appreciating music when I was about 13 or 14 I finally started to understand what everyone else meant when they said that it was impossible to live without music. The emotions that it was able to invoke and the understanding that it could create between people was something that I had never really thought about before. Great video Malinda, keep doing what you do!
Funny enough my Brain has something similar, I try to do something without any music, RUclips or TV, and then in my head I immediately start signing a song I like, sometimes it's "I've tried to understand you but you're still a mystery", "Trapped in the madness beaten hollow", "When I was young if I just closed my eyes then I could go anywhere" or any other lyrics I enjoy
I have stopped listening to music for several months. The "want" stopped, but at any given moment, there are always 3+ pieces playing in my head. I am never truly without music. No one is. The rhythms and harmony of what we consider music exists in everything. I must say, your smile is that of a genuine person and I do appreciate it. Thank you for the music, silliness, and glory of you 👏 you are a wonderful lady with undiscovered talents, goals, and possibilities. I am grateful to watch you grow and discover yourself and the world. You are amazing 😊
Oh-my-goodness... Your music is beautiful and I loved this video I am never going to turn off the music now. Thanks so much and the “preview” was great
You found the Sound of Silence! Seriously, the way you described it, cutting yourself from music for a couple of days did, in fact, helped your creativity. You say you were a lot more creative after the music break. I see it as a net positive.
Malinda- You are so creative, beautiful, and unique. I cannot express how happy I am when I watch your videos. I sure others feel the same. Keep doing what you do, and keep being yourself! We love you!! ❤️
This is really neat! I've probably done this myself before without realizing it. Despite being a singer I actually don't listen to a ton of music, because I have so many talk shows/podcasts I like and suffer a fair amount from FOMO. Did you not sing either? My family used to never turn on the radio when I was a kid on long car rides, preferring to have conversation or sing ourselves. My mom knows so many songs by heart that it was almost never necessary to turn on music in the car. Also I love how in tune with nature you got. Having grown up in the countryside, I'm blessed to have been able to get away frequently enough and listen to the music of nature.
As someone who gets extra paranoid when out walking without music, I could not do this. Especially since I walk everywhere, all the time. More power to you for making it the whole five days. You have more will power when it comes to it than I do.
It was so interesting watching parts of the video that would normally have music in the background without it. I am impressed that you managed to not listen to music at all and I think I will definitely appreciate it more after watching this (she says already loving music cause of being a guitarist XD).
oh my gosh, thanks for this video! It just inspired me so much… I have tried out songwriting before but somehow I was never able to write something. But now I feel like I could do it and there are so many ideas in my head right now. Thank you!
I also have music playing in my head non-stop, from the very moment I wake up (it’s in my dreams, even), it’s everywhere, like a scattered playlist. The only times I do take a break from actively listening to music is a totally conscious one- sometimes I want to unplug, listen to nature around me, but I totally feel where you’re coming from. Road-trips, especially, are the perfect time to put the soundtrack of your life on display, in harmony with your surroundings. Thanks for this insight. Be well out there (was happy to hear a demo of “Figured Out,” it’s such a beautiful song!).
As someone who is unilaterally deaf, losing my hearing completely is my biggest fear. To no longer hear music, to be left with silence, is my biggest fear.
I'm not a musician but i can not live without music. If i am not listening a song, i'm singing or humming, i even repeat the jingles of commercials. I don't see myself doing this challenge, but this happens when i try to read or to write. Sometimes i don't feel like it and it's cool to take a break from it and do something else that can actually inspire me. Even watching t.v. it is great you tell us about your process and how you do the best you can. This is a beautiful video in every sense of the word. Your feelings, the landscapes... i'm glad you found yourself again. I can't wait for you to release more music. I'm a big fan of you. :3
Honestly I thought this video was going to be about how getting away from something you love can spark creativity but I was pleasantly surprised. I always feel bad when I only get ideas because I'm inspired off a song, show, or movie but this kind of helps :]
Hello 2020 Malinda, it's 2023 and your album and film has just been released.🎉🎉🎉🎉 This is the first time I watched this video and I can't believe this was the first time you shoed us Figured Out!! You're going to come a long way in the next few years!!!! (PS your hair is dyed red at the ends now 😊)
Great video Malinda. I was actually doing something similar in this period in the hope to be more productive, and after watching your video I realized it wasn't helping and decided I will stop doing it.
This wouldn't be the biggest challenge to me.. I rarely ever listen to music.. Take away videos and podcasts and that would be a different story... T_T
Are there any other challenges y'all think I should try? I LOVE making these types of videos and writing music around them. Let me know :)
Ur an absolute legend Malinda... Ily ♥️ and I was thinking... Maybe I'll try this too! Seems very interesting 😁 (and challenging too 😅)
I think you should try making and singing a song in another language! If you haven’t already.
you should try doing only click-baity titles
This was quite insightful; I often feel whatever I do is just copies of other things. I hope that you didn’t feel like you had to make yourself sad for us, and that it didn’t feel like an obligation. However, if it was eye-opening, I’m so happy for you!

I only read the title, and already it sounds like hell.
Musicians: *can only afford bread & water for 10 years*
Also musicians: *doesn’t listen to music for 5 days....dies☠️*
Music is as necessary as breathing
Truth
@@WyxienTheFox This is very true
Completely accurate
@@WyxienTheFox yes
I physically cannot not listen to music because it is in my head 😂 and also because I’m a violinist lol
Yep, agreed.
Always in my head too, either it's in my head or I'm singing out loud!
Twoset? Ling Ling?
Same, and coincidentally I'm also a violinist lol
@@idolevin8795 yeah, I like twoset
Malinda: My brain is COMMITTED to having a song stuck in my head at all times.
Me: Same
My brain: Valjean, at least we see each other plain...
Yes!!
Monsieur Le Maire, you wear a different chaaiiiin
Before you say another word Javert,
Before you chain me up like a slave again,
Listen to me!
There is something I must do,
Yup

This!^
I like you random stranger🤣
@@naomil7830 100%
I can't imagine not listening to music for a day, let alone 5
relatable lmao
Ikr
I couldn’t do it
I wanna try
I Can't imagine what I would do if I don't watch YT video :P
I honestly can’t imagine not listening to music, it’s how I relax, focus, feel happy, calm down and just everything and how I connect to the world. Thank you for making this video, it just again reminded me of how amazing music is ❤️
The sound of a nice fire is one of the many reasons I camp as often as possible.
Funny how you thought the lack of inspiration would lead to more of it. As soon as you started listening to things again you felt more inspired than ever, so really this exercise did benefit you in the end i think.
Ironically, the leaf that fell into your cider was also trying to get away from the music of leaves falling for a period of five leafy days.
When I was younger, camping trips and beach vacations were void of TVs and radios. Never missed it.
I was looking forward to this Video the whole day 💙( it is 6pm here in Germany) And now I am Happy 🙃
How? Impossible? Magic? Witchcraft? Huh? Wha? No?
Exactly my reaction when I saw the title
Nope. Just depression, insanity, and nature.
Lol, I've done this torture a few times! Eventually, the clothes dryer becomes a musical inspiration I can hum to!
Oh wow, that is a real Challenge, I couldn't live without music ... I listen to music all day..💙
Upon seeing the video title, my immediate reaction was: “is she crazy?!”
I listen to music throughout the day, for almost all activities: taking a shower, cooking, eating, cleaning, working, going to sleep...
Came here for saw-esque torture, was not disappointed.
me, needing music in the background almost 24/7: *can’t imagine*
Omg this seems like such a challenge!! I've listened to music nearly every day for as long as I can remember
"OH MY GOD" 🤣 she is the best female human on earth! And you are absolute sunshine to hear and look at. Love you malinda ❤️
I’ve also fallen victim to the egoism of music being internal. This was so helpful thank you!
"You need inspiration to create"
Me, a fanfic writer: Eyup
I would mostly listen to music on the bus riding to and from university; with the lockdown, I found myself listening a lot less and only got back into it several months later.
Omg malinda I am proud of you I would die without your music
There's a leaf in the cyder, dear Liza, dear Liza... lol
Just seeing the trees and lake wherever you guys were staying reminded me of my cottage ☺️ and I love listening to nature when I’m there, it’s so beautiful 😌
Those vistas at the end are making me homestuck for New England.
"Sonic Chaos" is a good name for a band. Debut Album: "Malinda's Brain" 😂
I won't go into details as to why, but I will say that I really needed this video today, especially the message at the end about the origins of creativity. And the song preview, AAAA I can't wait to hear the full version. "You don't have to have it all figured out (for me?)" made me start crying.

I'm forever excited to see what comes next from you. Well wishes to you and yours, Malinda. 💛
Can’t imagine not listening to music for more than a few minutes so props to you Malinda!
For me this is impossible, I am always thinking about music. I have at least four songs in my head at any time.
Can relate!
I’m definitely going to refer back to this whenever people tell me I listen to music too much
The dramatic camera angle has return🖐
As someone who doesn't experience silence, music is everything to me. When it's quiet my tinnitus is painfully loud. Sometimes I just rub my fingers by my ears to have something to alleviate it.
Nothing relaxes me like a stream slowly flowing over rocks in a mountain stream...
I'm not sure if I could do this, music is in my mind and a big part of my life. My name even means "Celestial Melody". I hope it was worth it Malinda 💖
me clicking on this: and she survived HOW?
I'm gonna throw this out there, but there existed a time in the not-to-distant past where listening to music was considered a luxury, and people were still able to be creative.

You’re a legend. I couldn’t do that. I also now want to write a poem about campfire sounds.

So far i’ve been loving these 5 day challenge videos. They’re very relaxing to watch and and all have a beautiful message behind them.

Very thoughtful, beautiful music - at the end - love the autumn pictures.
Creativity doesn’t come from within but from outside influence and inspiration is such an important philosophy for creators to carry
Listening to you speak just makes me feel so much better, thank you.
I loved this! I thought that it was so poetic how you referred to starting to really listen to the fire and falling leaves!
Quaker too eh? The song "How Do I Keep Myself From Singing" is very appropriate here.
I can’t even imagine doing this. I play piano but learn the songs by ear so I’m a music geek. And not listening to music and not having to listen to Jessica’s break up and veronicas love story sounds like a NIGHTMARE😶💀
Good experiment ❤❤ thanks for sharing it with us!!
That song you preplayed (is dat a word?) is so awesome I can't wait to hear it completely

I have songs playing in my head on loop if I'm not doing anything and it's annoying sometimes XD
Can you share the location of where your journey took you? The scenery makes me want to bathe in it.
This made me reflect about my personality and it's relation with my favourite music genres/artists😌🏞️💙
Funny enough my Brain has something similar, I try to do something without any music, RUclips or TV, and then in my head I immediately start signing a song I like, sometimes it's "I've tried to understand you but you're still a mystery", "Trapped in the madness beaten hollow", "When I was young if I just closed my eyes then I could go anywhere" or any other lyrics I enjoy
it's so crazy to hear "figured out" in a preview and hear how much the song has evolved now that it's out god I love it

Your music is beautiful and I loved this video
I am never going to turn off the music now.
Thanks so much and the “preview” was great
it's weird seeing this video in march, because you know... all the autumn...
and I do agree, the sound of leaves falling is just amazing :)
"On day four I finally started listening to the sounds around me"
Me screaming at the screen: "FINALLY!" X-D

Love this! You have learned a valuable lesson. Music is life. Thanks for bringing me more, to add to my life soundtrack.
Going back to this video in 2023, I am SHOOK that I got to hear Figured Out in a raw form and I am so happy to hear it

I came from a video on 9gag, and im amazed. Such a beautiful video. A virtual hug from Brazil
“It is sonic chaos in there and I am so glad that no one has to listen to it”
You are some, and you are important and we love you! ❤
As someone who is unilaterally deaf, losing my hearing completely is my biggest fear. To no longer hear music, to be left with silence, is my biggest fear.
I think from knowing you can’t do something makes you want to do it now
Love you Malinda, so excited for new music 🤩❤️
soo heartwarming!
its really a life lesson this way.
i can relate a lot

Hello 2020 Malinda, it's 2023 and your album and film has just been released.🎉🎉🎉🎉 This is the first time I watched this video and I can't believe this was the first time you shoed us Figured Out!! You're going to come a long way in the next few years!!!! (PS your hair is dyed red at the ends now 😊)
This was such an interesting video to watch and hear of your experience. Honestly, ty for sharing. Idk why, but it made me smile
This reminds me of a quote I once heard: "Don't be afraid of being bored, it helps you to process your thoughts"
Great video Malinda. I was actually doing something similar in this period in the hope to be more productive, and after watching your video I realized it wasn't helping and decided I will stop doing it.
This wouldn't be the biggest challenge to me.. I rarely ever listen to music.. Take away videos and podcasts and that would be a different story... T_T

Can't wait for Malinda's new album!!
