Instead, there are different types of music that can help express emotions, distract from overwhelming grief, find connection, celebrate life, uncover motivation to carry on, and invite peace into life. The wide variety of responses shows that there is no one right song for grieving. While suggestions of music varied from reggae to smooth jazz and everything in between, there were also those who couldn’t bear to listen to music at all in the fear that it will trigger a breakdown they weren’t emotionally strong enough to handle. We asked 146 people about their experience listening to music while they grieve the loss of a loved one. Emotions come and go and preferences on music or lack thereof will likely change as you move through the grieving process. How Music and Sad Songs Can Help You GrieveĮveryone’s grief looks different, no two days will be the same, and you have every right to feel exactly how you feel after a loved one passes. Our lens to the world may be cloudy with what feels like a chance of never ending rain, but there is something that can provide clarity to our emotions and insight into what lays ahead: music. The sympathy texts, phone calls, and cards slow down, and we are left with a gaping hole in our hearts where our loved one once resided, and silence. We get angry, sad, hysterical, and we walk around feeling like we are carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders.ĭuring these restless nights and grey days, our family and friends return to their normal lives. Still, it’s a good entry for the eShop, and a recommendation for those who loved the first game.The time following the loss of a loved one sends us all through waves of unexpected emotions. The soundtrack is again good and the design is better than the previous game, but it offer a fourth of Color Zen’s number of levels at the same price.
#COLOR ZEN KAT SOUNDTRACK MANUAL#
Sadly, the quantity of levels is lower this time, and like the previous game, the manual is lacking (but you can see the tutorial anytime) and the replay value limited.Ĭolor Zen Kids is a good sequel for Color Zen. The presentation is nice again, giving a good explanation of the game and a nice menu design. In general, Color Zen Kids aims to offer the same relaxing experience with a more friendly design. The music of the game keeps the same style, and well, the same artist from Color Zen, and like I said in the other review, it’s a soundtrack that can be enjoyed better with headphones. The game looks nice using abstract shapes, most of them animals I find the designs of Color Zen Kids better than the previous game in overall for some reason. The controls of the game are the same, you use the tactile screen of the Gamepad to move the shapes, but instead of tapping the screen to see the pause menu, there’s a button in the bottom-left of the screen. The difficulty of the game in overall is more easy than Color Zen, but the main problem with the game is the quantity of levels: at the same price, you get 100 levels instead of the 460 ones, and that is a big difference of value. White shapes can be combined with any color, black will make disappear the shapes and the dotted lines shield your shapes from changing colors. The goal is still the same: you win by connecting the objects of the same color until you fill the screen with the color indicated in the corner of the screen. Like the previous entry, Color Zen Kids is a puzzle game using geometric pieces, but this time there’s a difference: the level design (I will explain this later).


What is the difference between Color Zen and Color Zen Kids? Well, the levels and the intended audience.
