Hey All,
Music can be a powerful emotional motivator SailorWriter.
Next time you are watching a scary movie, instead of the words, listen to the background music. When things are as they should be, the music is calming. When things get serious, the music becomes louder and more intense. The film maker is using music to manipulate your emotions.
So yes it is entirely possible to feel sad after listening to music. The Blues are an entire genre of music dedicated to sad songs.
"My baby done left me BooHoo BooHoo!"
"My baby done left me, what will I do"
"She's gone away, gone away for sure."
"How long, O how long must I endure?"
Sad stuff. But the interesting part about the blues is that when you listen to them and you are downhearted, they actually can pick you up and make you feel better. Life may be hard, but I'm not going through what that guy is experiencing. So listening to the blues can effect your state of mind.
I believe music can communicate on a different level than just words. Did you know that some deaf people, people that cannot hear, can feel the vibration of the music. That's very cool.
Keep walking everybody. May God bless,
Taz
