Question

I can't be the only one that feels this way!

Answer 1

I open up my mouth and just sing sing sing man, not sure but it sure feels good

Answer 2

i know what ya mean

i have taken up yodeling

yeah......yodeling


i started because i thought it would annoy the crap outta my co-workers, especially my boss....but they just find it amusing and try to imitate me

i work for the dept of forestry....and 3 out of 5 days we work out in the field....and its not any normal field....its way out in the mountains of eastern Kentucky....50 or so miles from any house...the beauty makes ya kinda want to 'sing at the top of your lungs' & its fun, fun, fun....lifts everyone's mood.

also found out that the grad student that works with us can do a mean Kurt Cobain "plateau", singing and guitar!!!
(keep the lazy government employees coments to yourself, lol)

Answer 3

Because when you're singing, you're releasing endorphins, which are the feel-good enzymes in your system. Besides, it also releases tension, aggression and a lot of hot air!

Answer 4

I do it when I'm driving and feel sleepy. It wakes me up because I get more air into my bloodstream from inhaling and exhaling more deeply.

That is probably why you feel better after you do it, too.

Answer 5

Because it's a moment that you really don't give a crap what anybody else thinks or says, and it feel sooo good!

Answer 6

i really didnt niotice that.....i think it kinda messes my throat up....but then again i guess it all depends on what pitch you sing at and the normal sound of your voice and all

Answer 7

I don't know--but laughing til your belly hurts (or tears roll down your face) is even better!

Answer 8

If you are good at it, good for you, else I pity the ones around you :)

Answer 9

It's not for me. maybe it lets you relieve stress.

Answer 10
