What Does Music Do to Us?
12/29/2013
Music has the capacity to
1. console us,
2. heal us,
3. inspire us.
4. invite us to listen, dance, explore, watch, and participate.
5. be one of the most powerful art forms which can alter our mood almost instantaneously. (I remember introducing a song in the early PM to a group and it turned out that I changed their mood as a whole. It was amazing to see.)
6. power changes the ways in which we view and interact with the world around us.
7. have a powerful influence on the body as our heads begin to nod and tap our feet to the beat. Our bodies just want to move and express our emotions physically.
8. dance.
9. not only to move our bodies but lyrics are equally important to enrich the soul.
10. make song lyrics, like great poetry to feel understood, contemplative, become more active, sentimental, about doing something about our excitement and point out towards answers to our mental and emotions.
Can you recall what music has done for you?
