Music is healing...Do you agree?

My tattoo is rememberance of my nephew...note the  - This is the tattoo i got in rememberance of my nephew who died too early at only 15 :(. I love and miss him very much. He also loved music like everyone in my family and I'm sure most of your too. Anyways the blue is because it just happens to be both of our favorite colors, the music notes because it was something we both love, the heart because he will always be in mine, and then of course his name, nickname, and dates.

I love music. Somtimes i listen to a mix of every kind of music...usually i do this when my brain is scattered and I am in an everything mood. Then thier are the times when I cant make up my mind...so i listen to parts and pieces of songs. I try to do this when nodody's around it tends to drive people crazy!Then i will sometimes listen to specific types and genres of music when I am feeling a certain emotion. Or certain songs when I am thinking of certain people. But no matter what is going on in life music is an esacpe...I time when you can clear your mind if need be....or you can use the musci to fill your head of memories and feeling that you want. I love music i believe it can be very healing. Do you agree, how does music impact your life if at all.

Hi...I am a music person. Music is my life since the age of 3. Am teaching music to non examination students who just want to learn for leisure. And yes I agree that music has healing properties but depends on what kind of music. Those heavy metal and rock stuff ain't gonna bring any healing but more damage. Instrumental music is a great help.

Yes I do. At least it abates a little of whatever is bothering me. if I’m sad or stress, I just put an earphone in ear for hours and try to focus on the lyrics and think of some other situation relating to the song.

I agree. Sometimes just hearing an old song will remind you of something and make you smile. A song has the power to jerk memory into action. It reminds us of a time or an event and can certainly brighten your day. Sometimes I just want to hear a certain type of music, but whatever the situation, music always puts me in a good mood.

I love listening to music, many different kinds of music. I don't know if music is healing, but I can go on one day without music. Music is like a food to me.

Music is based on the human heartbeat. I love to have music playing. Life seems to move along at a beat. Music is nice because it is full of passion.

Yes I agree and have experinced its effects so many times. I use music to either set a mood or dispel a mood. Rap makes me feel misrable and crappy and hard rock and todays dancehall music makes me feel like.... oh I cant discribe it. They just really irritate me.

I LOVE MUSIC! Music definately soothes my soul when I'm feeling a little down. A couple of my favourite songs and I am perfectly fine again. No matter what! Music can have amazing effects on people. They can be feeling upset, then after a good song they can be feeling perfectly fine again. Power to the music!

I have have to agree with you there, I love music although I mainly listen to Heavy Metal I still love listening to Blues, Reggae, Country anything really except techno and R&B and gansta Rap. The thing I love about music is that it can give you energy when you need it there is a different genre for every mood when you're feeling happy, angry, sad or whatever Music will make you on top form again and ready to take on the world. I also think that playing guitar has the same effect aswell music I think can also make you think about a whole lotta things and therefore it can make you smarter. But you Music is also an Opinion. Anyways Yes I agree Music can be very healing!!!

Hi there kayla_7602. I love music, you know its my passion. I cannot live without my music, music makes life go round. I do also make music, I play guitar, sing and compose. Every time that i am depressed, i always listen to music. Music offers you alot. It can makes your emotions mix. It can make you cry,happy,sad and even crazy. I don't know what does music have that people are really attracted to it. Music is healing, yes I agree. Music can be your friend that through good times and bad time will always be there for you. Comforting you through it's melody and rhythm.

music is healing for the mind but just when you enjoy it and when it relaxes you. even rock and heavy metal can heal your mind if you don't dislike it;)

I think music can be very healing. It can be energizing, it can lift the mood, it can reflect your mood, and it can fuel internal fires. I like just about every kind of music but I can't stand music that fuels hate not matter what the genre.

Music always keeps me company. I can stay in my room all day just listening to music. It comforts me when I'm sad. It makes me feel better. Music is life!
