Why I Like Listening to Music (WA1)

There are three reasons that make me love listening to music. First of all, listening to music is good for health. Recent surveys show that music is proven to be the best therapy for mental health in some countries. Many patients claimed that art and therapy is more useful than using other therapies. A research conducted in Norway also shows that people suffering amnesia who listened to music, either taped or live music have shown reduced symptoms of memory loss compared to those that didn’t listen to music at all. Secondly, music is the only thing that I have whenever I feel sad or lonely. I always listen to music even when I have problems in school or in my family or maybe if I have a dispute with my friends. Music creates a positive thought in my mind and passes away my anxiety. It brings excitement after one or a couple of songs being played. Finally, music lasts forever. No matter how old a song that I listen to is, I never feel that that song is out of date or feel bored by listening to it. Once I love a song, my ears will always stick with it, and once a song is popular, nobody will forget about it. Who doesn’t know Justin Bieber’s Baby? Or even an older one, Guns ‘N Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine? Even perhaps you don’t know the title, you can’t help but to shake your feet once a good, even an old song is played. So, whenever I feel bored of reality, I put my earphone on my ears and play my favorite playlist on my music player and it takes me to a better place. If I can sum it up briefly, music is a dope for your mind.
