Is it true That music changes the mood of people?

Question

like for instance say i listened to death metal would it alter or make me feel a different mood?

is there any statistics on it?

Answer 1

Most likely, but I ask the question,why would you like to listen
to something that expresses gloom and doom? There is so
much that is negative, why not listen to something that will give you a positive frame of mind? I for one enjoy music that
gives peace and rest to the soul, and I am talking in the
spiritual sense of the word.(Godly type of music) Not so much
the beat, but the words that will fill the soul with a touch of
joy and happiness. There is not so much of that around these
days. I hear more noise, than something that will soothe the
inner self. There are so many types of music that we can listen to, what is there that will make you feel like you are
alive inside instead of just the opposite? For me it is
southern gospel. It will touch the heart, spirit, and soul.
Most people won't like it, but to each his own. I have had the
priviledge of listening to all types, but what I listen to now has
more meaning of what life is all about. And most important
it emphasizes the one who created you and I. "Jesus Christ"
