Emotions and music

Whenever I’m stressed, angry, sad or happy I listen to music. Music has always been there in my life, I wake up with it and I go to sleep with it. When I’m studying for a test I need music to concentrate, even when I make the test I have music in my head. While I’m writing this, Mumford and suns is playing in my ears. I need it to function almost. There are nights where I cannot sleep without music, no matter what time it is, even when it is five in the morning, I need to listen to my music. Even if it is just one song.

Music influences your emotions and they can calm you down when you are stressed. I know it helps me every time, it can be an emotional outlet to make music or scream along with your favorite band. Going to a festival, meeting new people, music is there to connect us, to help us.

For everyone of you I created a list with my favorite bands and solo artists:
