People say that.."Music elevates mood"

"Depending on the type of music, tempo, accents, key, loudness or softness, music does affect moods. E.G. soft, gentle, slow music can be calming, comforting or soothing. Loud music with lots of accents and quick tempo can excite someone. Violent music with hateful lyrics, fast tempo and roaring guitars may negatively affect impressionable young people. Happy and cheerful songs may elevate mood. Worship music can be very uplifting spiritually."

When I came across this, I found myself totally relating. I have played the guitar since childhood. Now 50, I play bass in the praise band in my church. Growing up, My genre of music was southern rock and my style of living at the time reflected that. Now, with the different genre of music, I must say, my life style reflects the mood of the music from a spiritual standpoint. But, than again I just love all styles of music, because it all can be good if you just have a love for music.
