I agree with the statement that music can have an effect on emotions. Everyone has listened to or will listen to music that makes them feel sad, happy, or angry. Also, someone's emotions can affect the music they listen to. Sometimes, people will listen to sad music if they are sad or having a bad day; if they feel good, they will listen to happy music. There has been research into whether or not music has an effect on emotions and almost all research has the conclusion that, yes, music has an effect on emotions. There is a problem with studying music, though. This is the fact that "the emotions in music are very subjective" (Vaidya, 3).
The emotions someone gets from music all depends on
how a person interprets the sound and lyrics. What someone thinks could be
happy music, someone else could think is bad. The song Pumped Up Kicks by
Foster the People is a great example. The music is upbeat and fun, but the
lyrics, such as "He found a six-shooter gun in his dad's closet, with the
box of fun things" could be seen as disturbing. I had a few people listen
to this song and some people thought that the music itself made them happy, but
at a closer look to the lyrics, they said that the lyrics are the complete
opposite to the music. You can listen to it here: http://youtu.be/T3ldsF65cLM
Everyone listens to music, and everyone has emotions. Music and emotions tie together, and each one will affect the other. For example, it is seen in many movies and television shows that when someone goes through a break up, they listen to sad music while they are crying. This is because they are feeling sad, so they will pick a sad song. While it is seen in the movies, it happens in real life. Sometimes, when someone is really upset, they do not want to listen to happy upbeat music because it is not how they are feeling. People are known to go to things they are feeling and what they know, so if at the time they know they are sad or happy, then they will pick the music that goes along with what they are feeling.
