When we were kids most of us went to sleep while listening to our parents or caregivers singing lullabies. So from the day we were born music has been part of our lives.

Musical Emotion Is Rooted in Chords. Think about it, when you hear a major chord, you interpret the music as positive whereas if you hear a minor chord, the music feels negative. Tempo also impacts how you feel. A slow song in a minor key, for instance, makes you feel sad. A faster song in a minor key may make you feel scared or angry. When played in a major chord with higher pitches, more fluctuations in rhythm, and a faster tempo, listeners typically interpret the music as happy (J.Paterson).

So whenever you feel depressed or sad listen to some cheerful music and yes, it will make you feel better.

Another surprising fact about music is it can help you lose weight. Of course people usually use music during workout sessions but do you know music helps you to eat less?

A recent study pointed out that people who ate at low-lit restaurants where soft music was played consumed 18 percent less food than those who ate in other restaurants (K.cherry). Soft music and lightning helps you to feel more relaxed and calm so while eating slowly you might feel kind of full too.

No matter what country you live in, what your culture is or what language you speak, through music we can understand each other or situations quite up to some level. So indeed music is the "universal language-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "
