Music touches our lives in many different ways. It inspires us, it energizes us, it gets us feeling happier, more confident, more energetic and more alive. Music can transport us to different places in our mind, and can get us looking at a situation in a completely different way than if we were living our lives on mute.
Music touches so many aspects of life on a profound psychological level. For example, stores purposely play music that encourages people to be in a happy mood and ready to spend their money more readily.
It is suggested that music is a result of human's need to communicate, pass stories down and communicate - and this is another way music touches people.
Think of how ancient tribes would pass on knowledge and life lessons: Well-respected elders would address the rest of the community through story.
Nowadays, music touches people in a similar way: Well-respected celebrity musicians are able to influence the way we act, look, dress and think based on the stories they tell and the music they entertain us with.
