The power of music.

Music certainly has a lot of influence on the mood. Listening to music has been the favorite way for me to relax and relieve away from the mental stresses. That's the way I have been clinging on to music in the evenings after I get back home from long stressful work. The most helpful music for me is classical music, slow, smooth, and enchanting.

Yes, music is a powerful tool.The best thing about music is that you can always find a song that fits a particular mood.Optimistic songs never work for me when I'm down, but sad and depressive ones do.When I'm sleepy, I need a bit of rock & roll.I never listen to songs that are the total opposite of my mood.I like soundtracks very much, good choice of different moods.

Hi JamesStas! Apart from the songs we normally hear I've heard of music being used in a therapy as you've said too. If music can lift anyone up from feeling depressed the power of music should never be underestimated then. I'm sure the right kind of music would make the hens lay more eggs, the vegetables to be greener and alot healthier, fruit-trees to bear more fruits and perhaps the meat from animals reared for this purpose to be more tender and healthier too.

Music is indeed a powerful mood enhancer because I think it is somehow connected with our bodies. Our bodies respond and react to he beats, the rhythm, the melodies, and the lyrics of songs. Our bodies seem to be wired to the ebbs and flows of music. We don't need to understand the language of the song, we just have to feel it. Explaining the connection is beyond words, but we feel it, we understand it, we respond to it, we imbibe it.
