Love songs have long been an essential component of music lovers’ playlists. From heartbreaking ’50s ballads to club bangers written about love’s ups and downs, musicians have written music depicting all aspects of romance.
Are songs the answer to our emotions and help us process hard times? From happy milestones to grievous losses, music can bring people together by channeling emotions into song lyric. But why do we enjoy music so much?
It’s Amazing
Music’s greatest strength lies in its power to unite us all – no matter where they hail from or what their background. Music can make people feel good or bad; its power transcends time and space and provides comfort that you aren’t alone. Music also inspires creativity like no other medium can.
It’s Emotional
Music that speaks directly to our emotions can feel like it’s speaking directly into our hearts; that’s because musical sounds serve as a language our feelings understand. Studies show that our brain processes musical syntax similarly to spoken language processing; thus music can stimulate a wide range of feelings depending on genre and life events at that moment – fast-paced loud music tends to bring excitement while slower and melancholy tracks may produce sadness or melancholy responses in response. Acoustic qualities of voices may also reflect emotion which are then mirrored back through sound in our musical listening habits.
