When I am upset, music is a huge part of my recovery. I can't imagine there not being any music to listen to. When I'm upset, I get lost in the lyrics and sing my heart out. It always stops me from crying.
Really? Next time try listening to REM's "Everybody Hurts" or Sinead O'Conner's " Nothing Compares 2U" and try to keep from crying. If you can do can that,then you don't have a heart.
I'm just kidding. Music helps me a lot too.
Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
Yeah, music can really set a mood - from romantic, to sad, to happy, etc. There is also some perfect music to walk to - I have lots of cool stuff on my ipod.
This reminds me of the song "Thank You For The Music" by ABBA. I'm not sure if that is the title of the song but I agree that music affects our lives. I wonder what our world will be like without music.
I like the way music can calm me or energize me. My sons play soccer and prior to a game they will turn up their music to get their adrenaline flowing, which in effect readies their bodies for intense physical play. Music is quite profound in the power it can have.
I've never encountered anything that has the affect on mood that music does.
I can make folks cry by playing "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell, laugh by playing "Million Dollars" by the BareNaked Ladies, or twist them with some old Leonard Cohen.
There's a 'color' to music, and with it we weave a kaleidascope.

You are 100% right, music is amazing. Music lifts my spirits when I'm feeling blue and calms me down when I'm overly excited. I love to blare my radio in the car and sing at the top of my lungs!
