What does music do for people?

Question

In terms of emotionally, mentally, physically.

Answer 1

It's my anti-stress and anti-depressive medication!
Some music just gives me the strong wonderful feeling deep down inside. Sometimes it's from the vocalist or the guitar usually.
It's awsome just to go out by the lake on a clear night and sit and listen to my favorite music and stare at the stars just to think and get away from sh*t.

Answer 2

Since hearing is one of the five senses that we as people possess, music does the following:
1. Obviously gives us something to listen to
depending on the type of music it can help us focus on a task (I like having happy music on for housework, mostly cause i hate housework....)
2. it can evoke emotions and memories and put us in whatever place we want to be. It is the only stimuli that we freely choose, as you can not "turn off" your eyesight, sense of smell, touch, etc.
3. like all the senses it reacts with our nervous system and believe it or not, the right kind of music can and will help to keep us healthy, along with diet, exercise.
4.on a subliminal level it tells us that we are not alone in feeling whatever we are feeling as we listen to a song. there is a commonality to it that we as people can all share.

Answer 3

Emotionally it calms them down. Mentally? Phisically?

Answer 4

For me it can lift my spirits or calm me down. I use it as therapy. I use it as a back drop when I want to be romantic with my partner or when I'm in the mood to write. It keeps me moving and gives me energy when I exercises or do house chores.
All that and then some.
