The relationship between music humans is sophisticated as generations throughout

history had different notions concerning the impact music had on them. It is apparent that

people believed that music had extraordinary features due to its observable yet unexplainable

influence on people's behaviour as some individuals sing aloud, tap their toes or dance around

while listening to music (Pereira, et al., 2011). There is substantial evidence that there is a

connection between the human mind, music and behaviour. The paper hypotheses that soft

music elicit valence which heavy music contributes to aggression; and also most people will

seek to find the beauty of the beauty of music before rating the song.

Research conducted by Blood and Zatorre (2001) demonstrated that music stimulates

similar neural processes that control the brain's ability to produce euphoria related to sex,

drugs, and food. The same research exhibited that the brain structures associated with

wakefulness and attention are activated when people are listening to music. Therefore, this

supports the above observation that music can influence the brain to convert the musical

auditory information into components of neuronal simulations related to attention, emotions,

and euphoria. Therefore, this is the rationale as to why different music elicits various

reactions from people. For instance, romantic music is more likely to awaken euphoria,

making people develop sexual arousal or the need to consume drugs. The music's ability to

impact individuals' emotions is what makes people choose the type of music they wish to

listen to at any given time. Therefore, the music leaves a memory in the human brain, which

informs that a particular song or melody can suffice a person's needs during difficulties.

It is noteworthy that as the music continued to evolve over the years, so was the

people’s comprehension of how particular melodies influence the mind. Evidence shows that

listening to music can stabilize human minds by producing an extensive range of positive and

negative emotions (Schaefer, 2017). For instance, people can use relaxing or pleasant music

to manage stress and improve their health since high-stress levels can impact the human mind
leading to a disorder such as anxiety, depression or insomnia. The relaxing melodies are

currently being used to elicit sleep in individuals with insomnia, and hence the music is being

used for therapeutic purposes. Therefore, music can influence the human brain to elicit

action, which is not intentional (Schaefer, 2017). As such, the impact of music on people

knowledge is currently being used to decide the kind of music played in different human

events. For instance, specific melodies are played during birthdays, graduations, and even sad

times like funerals. People chose to play the music that would elicit emotions that would

match the occasion being attended.

Another study conducted by Vaajoki et al. (2011) found that music can significantly

lower people's blood pressure and respiratory rate. The songs which were associated with

these impacts were soft and relaxing music. The research suggested that the participants who

were surgical patients lowered their breathing rates by matching it with slower songs and

intern improved respiratory systems. Therefore, while slower music is said to calm people,

other kinds of music like heavy metal, rock or punk music with a higher tempo depicting

violence can promote adverse emotions and exasperate people's conduct. Therefore, due to

having numerous music styles, it is conceivable to presume that aggressive behaviours can be

provoked by aggressive music. As a result, people's emotions and behaviours can be

interpreted from their music preference. For instance, for individuals who like to listen to soft

music, it is safe to assume that they like working in a calm environment, and their tendency

to be aggressive is lower than people who prefer aggressive songs. The rationale as to why

behaviours are being linked to music is that people act out of their feelings and listen to

music. It is challenging to calmly deal with an individual listening to aggressive songs

because their emotions are heightened, impairing their judgment to make crucial decisions.

Concerning the data gathered from the online experiment, it demonstrated that

majority of the people do not seek the beauty music, but a significant number of them do
appreciate the beauty. Very small number seeks the beauty of the music till the end of the

song. Concerning valence, the data depicted that the majority of the people do not seek for

positivity while listening to the music. However, there is a strong relationship between the

people who do not seek for beauty in music and those who wait until the end of the song

since the p=.983, p>.05 which means the significance is true. The case is different for the

people who seek for beauty since the p=0.00, p<0.05 which is insignificant. Therefore, it is

not significant that people who acknowledge beauty in music only listen to songs with this

feature.

People listen to music for their amusement, especially in the current period where

people have various media channels to select the music they wish to hear. For instance, when

radios and television were the primary sources of digital musical entertainment, people

listened to songs that the presenters were selecting. However, currently, people are playing

music based on what they wish to listen to, especially the adults in society who can listen and

watch anything they aspire (Egermann & Reuben, 2020). Hence, it is safe to conclude that on

a personal level, people listen to music privately because they want to experience joy

regardless of the song's tempo and valence. Hence, currently, musicians are making songs

with the sole purpose of eliciting a particular emotion in the audiences. Therefore, the

wording has to go hand in hand with the melody being used to maintain the song's relevance

(Vuilleumier & Trost, 2015). For instance, it can be challenging for a song to sell if the

melody used is not conforming to the lyrics of the songs since such an art cannot elicit

people's emotions, as to why, most people pay iTunes and other sources of music to access

specific kinds of music, which elicit the feelings they wish to experience. For instance, sad

people can listen to sorrowful music to enhance their grief moment and then later listen to

soft music, bringing happiness and strengthening their emotions and beliefs.
