Psychological Impacts of Music on Human Feelings

Music has, through the years, been largely part of human culture and tradition, and it plays a huge role in that aspect, from possessing the power to ignite emotions to being a source of entertainment, reigniting memories, and bringing people of different races together. I'm a big fan of music, and when we talk about it, psychology, and how it makes me feel, I'll tell you all about it as we explore what music makes me feel in this article.

There are several feelings I get from listening to music, and as I said, I'll be telling you about those feelings. The first on that list is the emotional connection I feel from music that resonates with my state; depending on the state I'm in, when music being played resonates with it, I'll literally have a rush of emotions. Sometimes such could be sadness, happiness, religious feelings, and the likes, but then since they're music for almost everything feelings, this makes it positive.

Another feeling I get as a psychological impact of music is how it can relate to me and help reignite my memories about something or a past event. I remember one time I was listening to a song I used to love and listen to often, and when it was being played recently, it opened a path to odd memories of what my life was to be like and how far I've come; one even reminded me of my time of being in love and how I used to sing the song together with my ex-girlfriend, so that's music for you and one other way it makes me feel.

Still in line with what music makes me feel, I'll say listening to some music just has a way of regulating my mood. There are times when I'm feeling bored, tired, or indifferent, but by listening to some music, like the tempo ones, you'll see me gradually leave that boredom state and begin to groove and sing along with the music; it's one of the beautiful psychological impacts of music on our feelings.

Last but not least on the list of what I'll be talking about regarding what music makes me feel, I'll say it's the aura of entertainment and relaxation. You see, when listening to some music, it just has its way of influencing my feelings; for instance, some music can enhance my decision to just relax and relish the moment as I listen to their lyrics, while others can make me stand up and dance to entertain myself or those around me. Music is a beautiful thing and one of the best discoveries of humanity.

Regardless of its genre or style, we'll all find one or more pieces of music that can impact our emotions in one way or another, showing us how music can be a medicine to the soul in the form of psychological therapy and the like.

Thanks so much for your time, have a wonderful day ahead.
