Music is one very essential aspect of life that can not be sidelined, the way water is to the body to make us feel fresh and rejuvenated is the way music is, not just the body but including the spirit and soul, in the olden times it is often revealed that when ever kings were depressed or troubled about something and they would call on a musician or a player of some instrument to come play for them to feel relaxed
From practicing this on babies when they cry and singing to them, they'd stop crying and fall asleep, which tells you music has more connections with us in a way more intense than we actually know.
There is a calm, relaxed, peaceful feeling that comes when listening to music; somehow, that magic resonates with your soul, your mind, and influences your entire mood.
