Music


Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection
is our dream, and our dream is heaven.

Amiel Henry



Generally, soft music soothes the mind and enhances physical and mental productivity. Soft music also acts as a stress reliever.
A study released by the American Psychology Association found that listening to violent songs results in an increased feeling of hostility without provocation or threat even in those not known otherwise to give in to acts of violence. Such music may also act as a release valve for people with a pre-violent disposition.


Lyrics play an important role in music. Songs with lyrics that speak of sadness and depression will often make a depressed person even more depressed, while lyrics of hope and joy makes the heart light.



Studies reveal that songs depicting men as sex driven studs, women as sex objects and with explicit references to sex acts and raunchy lyrics are more likely to trigger early sexual behaviour than songs with veiled references to sex or songs of committed relationships.


Music is a great soother, mood maker, and one of the great joys of life.


Soft music is a stress

reliever and productivity

enhancer.
