The Science of Soundtracking Your Life.
The human body processes things in different ways. From understanding your physics homework to trying to learn Zara Larsson’s Lush Life dance, your brain computes all that info in specific ways. Another example is how we process our favorite music.
Music is a universal language.
Have you ever listened to a song even if you don’t understand the lyrics? This just shows that we understand music through beats, rhythm, and movement. We know that fast, energetic music tends to be perceived as happier, and slow music is considered sadder. And we don’t need a common language to understand that. It just shows how music can change your mood with just one listen.
This goes beyond sounds; it’s science.
When your brain listens to music, it goes into full workout mode. Music starts as sound waves and then gets converted into electric signals that travel to the brainstem and then the cortical areas of the brain—aka, when you actually feel the sound. From breaking down what you are hearing to activating your memory, multiple parts of your brain show up for this.
There’s also the release of neurotransmitters that affect your emotions and cognition. The biggest one is dopamine, which gets released whenever you listen to your favorite music. There’s also serotonin, a mood‑changing neurotransmitter that works double‑time when you find music pleasing.
It is fun to listen to music, your brain would agree.
The release of these (and more) neurotransmitters helps to control your mood. From listening to a dance song to power through a workout, to listening to a jazz song to concentrate at the office, you can change your mood on demand
