Somehow music has a direct effect on our emotions. Usually, people do listen to music to be entertained, others could relate to the music they listen to, like reminiscing the past, the sweet memories they had when they first heard the music. Whether the music was slow or beating up like disco, the fact is that the music has given them impact to their lives. They may not remember the lyrics but the melody or tempo would still remain in their hearts and minds. As the saying goes, music is the language of the soul. Our innermost feelings could be fully expressed through the lyrics and melody of a song, either we sing them of listen to them. I listen to music when I am about to sleep. I consider music as a sleeping 'mechanism' because by doing so specially at bedtime, music gives ease and comfort to my mind inducing me to sleep. Sometimes, I want to hear songs because I want to keep myself alert and productive in the sense that I can do multiple tasks particularly when I am inspired and full of energy and music does the trigger. In general, music makes me happy, sad, inspired, sometimes makes me depressed, more romantic, more lovable, energetic, relaxed, and cool-headed.

I listen to music for many reasons but the biggest reason is that I am depressed at that time. When I'm happy, I clean my room and I work but when I'm sad and down, I don't feel like doing anything. Sometimes I just sit in front of my pc and I listen to some classical music or sometimes a very loud pop-rock or metal music. It cheers me up a little when I do this.
