The power of music

[Mustachekitteh]

Music has been around probably since the first humans that exist. For that science has all but confirmed that humans are hard-wired to respond to music. It does have it's many effects on us mentally and physically. For a while people have done many different research studies on what all positive things music can do for the mind and body. So here are some y'all might enjoy or be surprised about.

How Music helps Physically

• Can ease pain- In some recent studies they have found that people who focus and lose themselves in the music end up feeling less pain. For more info about how that works this website goes into more detail on it. A Dose of Music for Pain Relief


• Improves exercising endurance- Some of you might notice that when you have the right song playing it help you be more motivated to push yourself harder during workouts. Again focusing on the right tune helps distract your brain from how long you might be running, lifting weights, etc . Let's Get Physical: The Psychology of Effective Workout Music


• Improve sleep quality- Do you have issues sleeping? Maybe you are not listening to enough music. Research has discovered that listening to music could help you catch better quality of sleep. Can music Help You Get a Good Night's Sleep?


• Enhance blood vessel function- Research has discovered that listening to music acutally might help with blood flow through the vessels. When listening to joyful music by feeling that way it could cause the blood vessel to dilate. Research team concludes the cardiovascular benefits of music are similar to those found in their previous study of laughter

I LOVE IT!

But um I am sure you totally noticed that music totally helps with studying.

YES IT DOES OKAY? I NEED JUSTIFICATION FOR MY BAD ACTIONS!!

[BertMacklinFBI]

I like music, it is good to me, and I to it hahaa.

[Remonster]

Good take. Music is quite important to our souls, even though I didn't always appreciate it like I do now. I'm quite partial to video game soundtracks myself, like:

But also:

For the real nostalgia feels.

I'll respond to your video game music with trailer music lol

Its Handel's Sarabande... but it works so well...

I really like the song in the trailer ^^

[FrenzyP0W3R]

This movie looks interesting :D

[AllThatSweetJazz]

I make and play music. Music is magic.

I actually have the assassins creed soundtracks and the ocarina of time soundtrack. Those ladies look quite cheesy and it's awkward to watch lol but I like like the tunes.

I often wonder how specific to humans music is. Given the intuitive nature of music, aliens may not be moved at all by music, or at least music typical to them would be very strange, likely incomprehensible. Being so abstract and intuitive, it really makes me feel like music is essentially magic for manipulating humans.

... thus making me a wizard. :D

I agree completely except 'Improve sleep quality'. I'm becoming music addict and it's now causing me trouble in sleeping. I listen to music from 12:00 am to 2:30 am which is definitely not good for my health. I don't know how to get rid of this.

Music is the heartbeat of God.

as for the easing pain; rock and metal is supposed ly effective. Was something about the strong bass vibrations "jamming" the nerve signals or something.

Kinda neat

[PT1911]

I've fallen asleep listening to metal albulms.

I focus on the raw power of the guitar/bass riffs, something about them...

I don't know what life would be without music. I could live without a TV or a PC, but not without music.

Great take ;)

I love music. Especially Joni Mitchell. I see so much of myself in her songs. They're like a sympathetic friend that says hey I've been there.

Playing the piano puts me into a whole different world. I completely mute everything around me and imagine beautiful things. "Music is the heartbeat of God" I completely agree.
