If music be the food of love, play on…These words from the Shakespearean sonnet, Twelfth night connote music as the soul of love. And it was William Shakespeare who said it first that music does provide sustenance. But the fact that i am going to establish is the divine omnipotence, that which the music holds.
The word ‘music’ is translated from Greek as ‘the art of muses’. Music is known to be a kind of art. Every special art has its own ‘language’ to deliver information to people. Music is a harmony of sounds. People have long been pre-occupied with music. It is an integral part of one’s journey from womb to tomb. Babies in the womb are capable of hearing music played through the woman’s abdomen. Music that the mother personally hears also has a bearing on her unborn baby as it will affect the mother’s moods and this, in turn, affects the baby’s mood. Every person gets absorbed by the world of music since an early childhood being influenced by it during an entire life time. Throughout life, people will develop a taste for music. Some types will stay forever and others will change throughout our lives. This often depends on what is going on in our lives at the time and we associate different songs with different events, times, ages and emotions. Immediately after hearing those tunes again we will be get transported in our minds eye back to whatever was going on at that time and we will also recollect the same feelings those we had then. These may fade slightly over time but they will still be there. Listening back to these we can still remember where we were when we heard them, where we lived and what was going on in our lives at the time. Music can also be used to deliberately alter a mood. For those who want to create a romantic atmosphere then some mellow love songs will go a lot further than some heavy metal rock tunes. Personally, i suggest to hear rock songs when you are upset or sad. It is because,if you go for some sentimental stuff, while you are sad, It will again agonize your feelings, nothing else will happen over there. But rock song will take away your mind to another level and refresh yourselves. Your mind will start dancing with its steps and will leave away your mental depression behind.
Music not only does give mental uplift but also provide the energy to rebuild one’s physical abilities. Every disease has a connection with our brain. When we listen to music, it vibrates the cells in the brain and gives us the desired result. Music increases the metabolic activities within body.
In a way, it is an elixir that which make you rise from your momentary deaths.
