enjoy listening to music for a number of reasons.

First, individuals are listening to music all over the world. There are unlimited melodies and rhythms.
It differs from a country to another. Even within the same nation, each community has a specific type
of music. Although pace differences, music can travel across geographical borders and influences
people’s spirit without the need of verbal communication. Therefore, festivals are organized annually
to spread local and international music and reach more music lovers. A large number of public
attends these manifestations. Everyone travel spiritually and dance following the rhythms. By the
end, people are overly happy and full of positive vibes. Far from festivals, numerous online platforms
enables music lovers to enjoy music freely. By a quick search, everyone can easily look up for songs
and melodies. With one click, we play the playlist and can even download it. For instance, some
songs globally reached more than milliards downloads. A Korean song named « gangam style » is the
first song that exceeds the record of the most listened music in the world by exceeding 10 milliards
of downloading on Youtube platform. Its rhythm is such new in comparison to prior compositions. It
changes radically the mood from laziness to happiness and energy.

Second, the nature has its own music. When wind is blowing, the motion of trees and plants creates
a soft and natural music that change people emotions. In addition, beach waves move infinitely and
slowly to the sand and create repetitive relaxing natural melodies. It relaxes and calms down. Thus,
some therapy use nature music to calm down people suffering from depression and anxiety. Instead
of medication, music cure is a possible way to get rid of stress and other psychological pathologies.
Music did not have negative effect on the health like drugs. It affects directly soul and help people
overcoming the cause of problems by forgetting them. Furthermore, nowadays, some nature songs
are dedicated for babies to help them sleep. Once few minutes pass away, babies sleep peacefully.
The songs resembles to nature rhythms without any noise and quite similar to whispers. For instance,
babies still do not understand languages but sleep softly by listening to music.

To conclude, music is a way of communicating between people. It goes directly toward music
listeners and change softly their mood and maybe their daily behaviors. That is why people enjoy
music. Even there is an ambiguous relationship between the music and its effect but the impact is
overly clear and evident.
