When you listen to music, how does it make you feel? For a lot of people, music affects their mood pretty strongly. If you play sad, depressing songs, they’ll start to feel down and drug-out and tired. If you play something upbeat and happy, it can be a great mood lifter, even if a person was feeling depressed before the music started. Some people are affected by music more than others, but almost everyone identifies with at least a song or two in some way. Whether it’s a love song they first heard when they met their spouse or a ‘lucky’ song they heard while they were winning big on one of the sports betting sites, music matters to most of society.
Whether you make music or just listen to it will be affected by your level of talent, but also by what you enjoy. Some people just prefer to listen to music, and they don’t want to go through the work that’s required to learn an instrument. It takes time and dedication to play an instrument well, and taking lessons is also often costly. With that in mind, it’s entirely up to you how you choose to express your love for music.
Many more people listen than play, but quite a few do both. Either way is fine, because it’s all about what you like to do in life, and what makes you feel content. If playing music makes you happy you should do it, even if you’ll never be a professional. Likewise, if you prefer to be just a listener, there’s a lot of benefit to just sitting quietly and enjoying your favorite music – or dancing around to something that’s really upbeat.
