For centuries, music and love had been intertwined, with lyrics and melodies capturing the essence of romance, heartbreak, and every emotion in-between. Over the years, music has developed the ability to evoke feelings, creating connections, and experiencing the depth of human emotions. The lyrics find a way through our soul and build a bond that sometimes lasts, especially if there's an agreement between the lyrics and our current emotional state.
Some years ago, music was my solace in heartbreak. The more the lines hit my soul, the more I cried, yes, that's what I needed at that moment (to cry) and I was able to get an album that evoked that feeling. We seemed to enjoy music based on our current emotions. When I'm in love, there are certain songs that capture those beautiful moments, when I'm sad, there is music that helps me heal, when I want to have fun or dance, there are songs that set the mood. So music works with our current emotions.
Research has shown that music activates the brain's reward system, releasing oxytocin and dopamine, the "love hormone" and this neutral connection stimulates pleasure, reduces stress and fosters empathy. A love song for someone in love is often like a honey on one's tongue and a butterfly in one's belly. Over the years, music has been the best form of expressing heartfelt words, capturing a moment saturated with desires and passions.
Music is often linked to memories. They evoke memories that transport us to the days we shared, the beautiful moments with loved ones, and set an atmosphere for a romantic day. Lyrics in music have been able to capture the complexity of love, from the heights of euphoria to the low of heartbreaks. Music brings people together, creating a shared experience that transcends into words.
