Music is often referred to as “The International Language”. We might not understand the words but we all understand the music being played enough to move and dance and most of all, enjoy the music being played.
Now lets get on to feeling the music, The popular saying “Music soothes the savage beast” is very true. Music affects all of us, just some a lil or alot more then others. It can help calm us down after a busy, hectic, and or stressful day or do the opposite and lift us up from being tired, sad and or depressed. So in my opinion the right song at the right time can be the perfect drug.
Music can influence your mood in many ways which include the following:
1. Entertainment – At the most fundamental level music provides stimulation. It lifts the mood before going out, it passes the time while doing the washing up, it accompanies traveling, reading and surfing the web.
2. Revival – Music revitalizes in the morning and calms in the evening.
3. Strong sensation – Music can provide deep, thrilling emotional experiences, particularly while performing.
4. Diversion – Music distracts the mind from unpleasant thoughts which can easily fill the silence.
5. Discharge – Music matching deep moods can release emotions: purging and cleansing.
6. Mental work – Music encourages daydreaming, sliding into old memories, exploring the past.
7. Solace – Shared emotion, shared experience, a connection to someone lost.

Music has the ability to express everything you are feeling, everything you want to feel, everything you can’t or won’t say……It has the ability to feed your soul.
