I know that listening to music can soften our hearts, ease our minds and sooth the souls. Music also communicates to us on many different levels and our favorite music tends to transport our minds to its favorite place.
Recently, i read a result of the study done by Hakanen (1995) that says ” A positive effect on mood was found for 92% of individuals when they listened to music of their choice. Excitement and happiness were typical reactions to the music”. Scientists have found that music stimulates our brain. Actual research suggests music has postive effects for any age. Music excites our mind, whether we are forty one, or a hundred and one (Niven 2000)
I discovered that Cablevision provided at least 10 channels for music. In our own TV set, it is from 820-830. Different type of music is played in different chanel and are categorized as Contemporary Pop, Jazz, Opera, Ligh Classic, Gospel, Easy Listening, etc. My favorite channel is 828 where nostalgic music are played. Usually i tuned in to this channel before i go to bed and after waking up.
My type of music did not change over the years. My 10 most favorite are:
1. Daniel by Elton John -
2. Yesterday by the Beatles
3. Yesterday Once More by The Carpenters
4. The Long and Winding Road by The Beatles
5. The Way We Were by Barbara Streisand
6. Cherish by John Fox
7. You’ve Got a Friend
8. Save Your Kisses For Me
9. Love Me Tender by Elvis Presly
10. I Just Called to Say “I Love you”
