Music is a universal mood-lifter

By Jason Dagenhart
Round Table reporter

Music is one of the main components of my life. It fuels me, it keeps me going, it helps me think, it helps me concentrate, and most importantly it helps put me in a better mood when I’m upset. It’s like a good friend or a lost puppy. And who doesn’t want a lost puppy?

But it helps a lot. It is the brain in which all of my energy stems from. If I get to listen to music, I am happy. On days that I can’t listen to it, I become a little droopier and I have a little less positive attitude towards things. Music is there for me when others aren’t, and it speaks to me like nothing else can.

It has messages and voices that express themselves through tone, tempo and rhythm. It has its own mind and soul and it is there for me when I need it.

This just doesn’t happen to me though. It happens to a lot of other kids. There are kids and adults out there that use music to express their anger or sadness or any other negative emotion. They use it as a conduit so they calm down quicker or easier.

And it really helps, too. Music understands us. It knows us more than we know and subliminally knows what to do to make us feel better.

See? Just like a lost puppy or a best friend.

So if no one’s around to make you feel better, or you don’t have a lost puppy or any puppy in general, maybe you should listen to some music and see how it helps.
