Music does so many things in our lifes but i wonder if it really changes our emotions and if it does, how do you think you can choose the particular music to listen to at a particulat time.

It changes mine yes,if im listening to something up beat then my spirits are lifted,but if its something like a ballad then I will tend to feel a little sentimental,but im sure that most of us are like that .Music can evoke many emotions,take the proms for example,they are amazing,just out of this world,and they are very spine tingling.

I AM A SINGER. SO, ALL KINDS OF MUSIC I SING AND PLAY. WELL, I PREFER TO SING OLD TIME HITS AND SOME OF THE NEW SONGS NOWADAYS... BUT,IN EVERY SONG THAT I SING, I SING THEM WITH MY HEART AND FEEL IT,SO AS I DELIVER THE SONGS TO THE PEOPLE WATCHING ME,THEY WOULD FEEL THE SONG... BUT,MOST OF THE TIME,I'D PREFER LOVE SONGS AND OLD TIME HITS LOVE SONGS TO RELAX. SOME OF KENNY G's JAZZ MUSIC HELPS....

Yes, I always listen to music whenever I'm down.. It really changes my mood and it relaxes me.. Sometimes, when I study, I also listen to music to even set my mood.. It really does magic to me.. :D

Yes, music has a lot of influence on the mind , depending on the type of music. I like listening to classical music at the end of the long busy day. It is so relaxing.

Oh yes it does. I have this feeling that Music is one way, we can really understand a person. And their emotions at that point of time depending on the music they listen to. My music pattern changes with my mood and I like to listen to music depending on the mood I'm in. bourne

Yes music can really transform my emotions. I got more sad if I'm down and I listen to sad music or love songs that is why i don't listen to them that much. i also fell irritated with rock music as if they tear the walls of my ears and my heart. Right now I'm into inspirational music for it really relaxes and calms me down. Listening to them is a true source of strength and inspiration and also give me the sense of survival especially in this chaotic world. I am a music lover and I do believe that it changes man's disposition and mind set. Happy posting!

Music is a such a thing which can both change emotions temporarily and permanently.. there are some singers particularly in asia- called "SUFI" singers have a great impact on listners mind.. such music can transform a beast into a man.. can generate love for mankind an god... HENCE IT IS WELL JUDGED THAT MUSIC CAN CHANGE OUR EMOTIONS AND LIFE AS WELL......

Particular situation,particular music,and particular emotions.when you are in particular situation,you may want particular music to meet your particular emotion.while,most of times we listen to music is arbitrary.At that moment,special music comes to your mind,as a result ,special emotion comes .some music stands for some emotions in your mind,which can bring your mind back to foretime.For the foretime is of specialness,your feeling is particular.
