Why Do We Like Music

Posted by: andysatu on: December 10, 2008

I think that for each person this question could have a different answer. Music is an escape for some people. I know that my husband and son love music. They never go anywhere without an MP3 player. My husband says he hates to listen to other people while he travels Toronto’s transit system. My son is a teenager and listening to music is just what teenagers do. Music is a cultural thing but it is also an emotional thing. It can make you feel happy, sad, and strong and take your mind off your troubles for a little while. It can give you a sense of some other emotion then what you would typically have.

Some like to listen to music very loud. So loud that the words are indistinguishable, like in rock music. Is it that rush and heart pounding beat that we cannot get enough of? The music industry is indeed huge generating billions of dollars. Music moves the world. It can bring people together in a way no other genre can. Of course, it can also spark debate. Why do some people like some music and not all music? Is it just the way our brains work? If you think about it, we are actually introduced to rhythm in the womb with the mother’s heartbeat. If the mother is in distress the heart beat and breathing speed up. When she is resting, the rhythm is softer and slower. Maybe that is where soft romantic music comes from. Lovers have their own unique music to romance to.

Music can be listened to anywhere. In the car, at home, away. I think we can relate to music and the lyrics to some songs. The songs make us think about our own lives, loves, dislikes, hates and sadness. In a way, it can relax us too. Music is a source of entertainment. We have all gone to bars and clubs, listened to music, danced, and tried to forget our problems for a while. Music can mean happiness like at weddings, but it can also mean sadness like at a funeral. It seems like all our get tog ethers and parties have some form of music. This is obviously, because people enjoy listening to music. There have been studies that conclude the brains waves are affected by listening to music. Can you imagine a world without music?
