i have always loved music and it really puts me in a good mood most of the time, and i think that nothing else can make me feel the way that music makes me feel at times because it can either make you feel happy or sad, i really like to listen to up beat music so that it gives me energy, and i recently read that music is good for people because it helps them relieve stress andi was just thinking that it does help me a good bit, so what about all of you, do you think listening to music is good for you or not? i would like to take this time to thank everyone that has taken time out of their day to come by and read my discussion and hopefully provide an answer for my discussion, i hope that you all have a great and happy weekend, thanks once again for taking the time to come by and happy mylotting!

Hi jhl930... I also love music. I think music is an inevitable part of everyones life. I agree and also feel that listening to music is very good. Music can make a real difference to ones life. Music can be your best friend. Whenever i feel low i just put on some music and it really cheers me up. When in happy times or in party times we all love to have music. Music always gets a smile on a persons face.I have also come across some articles where music is being used to cure patients.

Yes listening to music is good for me. Aside from the fact that it relaxes my mind, there are also some songs that puts me in a happy mood especially when i can relate to what the song says. Music has been a very important part of my day. I go for almost all kinds of music. It's soothing and yah can really give a lot of energy. Whenever I feel bored, stressed out, sleepy, tired, I just listen to music. It is indeed good for me! Have a stress free day!

i also love music, and i think i can't live without it! music is my life!! it helps me a lot! it helps me take away those boring moments. it relaxes me and helps me think. its also a way to have a deep sleep because i usually cant sleep right away. music helps me express what i feel, if i want to relax, well i listen to classical like Beethoven and Mozart. when I'm sad i usually play sad songs, if i feel like dancing, i play songs that make me dance, if i want to get crazy i play rock and hardcore music! i listen to any genres of music, depending on my mood. i really really REALLY love music =)

I listen to music most of the day. If I am on the computer my iTunes is playing, in the car either the radio is on, ipod, or cd's playing, at work we have the radio on work. I work with much younger people but still enjoy hearing their music. We take turns on what to play. Music always makes me feel good and would rather be listening to music than sitting in front of the tv.

Ho jhl930 , I cannot think of a period in my life when i have not listened to music. It has always been with me. I loved music and songs as a child and some of those i still enjoy as much now as i did it then. I love collecting music of all kinds. It has no barrier either language or culture. Any melodious tune stirs you. I have memories , mostly good , attached to most of the songs that are my favorites ..Listening to music is definitely good for you

Hi, I definitely enjoy listening to all kinds of music. Music can relax my mind and in fact different kinds of music can put me into different kind of mood. There was an experiment been done that has shown that classical music can improve memory. I enjoy listening to pure music those without lyrics as well.

Music is a great way to destress, to relax you and to help your body recover, they have said that people in comas who have their favourite music played to them has aided recovery, and I can fully understand that working. I love music, I have it on all the time, especially at the gym, when I am training I find that music helps me especially if it's the right type of music. I love the 80s, and pop. There are some music that is not good for you, but it depends on the person. I certainly couldn't listen to rap or heavy metal for example that would actually irritate me more than relax me. Right music for the right mood.

I love music. The roar of lion creates fear. A child crying for help generates a need to help. There is Satan music. Always hear good music.

Well for me music is my live, it has given me a reason to live, it has made me take up the guitar, or start singing. I totally agree with you music is great for you, for me listening to Heavy Metal music(Yes it's not all noise it does have alot of music quality to it ever hear of Bruce Dickinson? best singer ever) gives me great energy it makes me want to work hard so after I finish school I will hopefully be a very good guitar player(without being cocky) and start my own band and make a difference in music. If you are a music lover then you can't just listen/play to one genre you gotta be open minded as I may be a massive heavy metal fan but I also listen to bands like Blackmore's Night, Cream, Joe Satriani, Johnny Cash, Stiff Little Fingers, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley etc. I really don't like mainstream music at the moment as that takes the reality and feeling 9out of the music and turning it into a money making business which is just not what music is for me. Music is just a gift from where ever, we are lucky to have music. Question who are you're favourite artists? My right now would be Bruce Dickinson, Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio & Lamb of God(I have an obsession with them). Cheers for this disscusion! ! !

Yeah,i like music very much!No matter which language a song was written,when i find it has the same feelings as me,i like it wery much. Listening to music is good for our mood.It could relax our tense neves and make our sad heart become happy.i always listen to my favourite songs when i want to do nothing.From the singing,my heart turns to quiet,and then i gain energy to face every challenge.
