Music Helps People Move On, Become Mature

Music has been identified as the way people connect with each other and learn to empathize with each other. The effects of music may vary with each individual but research confirms that music helps individuals mature psychologically and emotionally and be able to cope with their different situations. Moreover, the type of weather may also have an effect on the type of music different individuals like to listen to.

A music composer may use the songs he writes as a means of therapy as he is able to write what he is going through. Furthermore, listeners are able to connect with the songs as they may share the same experiences in life. Apparently, music is able to make people feel that they are not alone in the feelings of sadness, anger or pain.

In addition, listening to sad music written by successful people may also help individuals feel empathy from the music as well as encouragement since someone as successful as the one who wrote the music could go through those feelings and be able to cope. Furthermore, music may also be used as a catharsis and help dispel stigmas surrounding mental illness, Observer reported. Still some individuals are keen on forcing themselves to listen to music surrounding a failed relationship to be able to move on while others cut off from sad music as if it were an addiction.

In other news, Spotify recently revealed data about a study they conducted from November 2015-2016. It has been revealed that several cities are affected by different types of weather conditions, specifically during rainy days. It appears that New Yorkers have a tendency to listen to more organic instrumentation, acoustic or downtempo songs when it is rainy, Baeble Music reported.

Music by Bon Iver and Radiohead are said to be opted for on rainy days instead of turning up to Beyonce. Moreover, dance-oriented songs chosen on rainy days are more of chill vibes like Jeremih's "Don't Tell Em" rather than high energy. On the other hand, it is said that London, Liverpool and Chicago tend to choose more danceable music on rainy days. Listen to Barry Manilow here:
