Music and our minds, moods, and feelings.



Since the blog's name is “The Daily Musica”, I decided to start with something about music even though the word musica doesn't refer to music in the blog content. :)

I'll start with a couple of paragraphs in which others spoke about music in life...

Is it true that music makes one smarter?
Music controls some cells of the brain for a particular way of thinking. After listening to classical music, one can quickly perform some spatial tasks such as adults can quickly solve jigsaw puzzle. This is because the classical music pathways are similar to the pathways used in spatial reasoning. Listening to classical music, these pathways are "turned on" and are ready to be used. This is how you can solve puzzle quickly but lasts for a short time after listening to music. Playing an instrument also improves the spatial skills as research has proved that music training creates new pathways in the brain. "Olivia Andrews"

An International Language.
Music has been called 'The International Language' - a very simple thought with much meaning behind it. Even if you can't speak the language of a country, you can move, sway, dance and most of all enjoy the music of the country. We may not understand the words of a musical selection but we do understand the beauty. ”Essortment.com

Music brings up deep feelings.
Now something beautiful about music, which we all go through, has to be said, remember when you heard that old song and you felt your heart ticking and the air fresher?!! , remember when you heard that song which wasn’t so sad when your eye dropped a tear? Now I won’t talk about the physiology of the brain because I frankly am, not familiar with it, but I sure have found out something, It’s that the human brain (I can only talk about what I have :) stores several things in the memory including feelings which aren’t easy to retrieve later, but the good part is that these feelings are like salt or pepper sprayed over the other contents of the pot at a time (the brain!), and songs especially are unique things, they’re certain words going on with a certain melody and a certain voice, so they’re distinct in our memory, whenever we hear that song a long time later, we feel almost the same way we felt, (not when we heard the song at first) but while we heard the song at first!!

Here’s a little experiment, it’s really easy, someday, try to turn on a song and replay it a few times, then do it the next day, and then ignore that song and help out of it for like a week or two, then listen to it and!!!, believe me there will be something, even if you didn’t know what you were feeling at the time you heard it first, now you’ll know coz your brain found out in two weeks :) Please tell me when it works with you! “Mohammed Hasan



From time to time, we hear a song that we like so much that we keep rewinding until the day is over, it’s more likely these songs that stick with certain feelings that ones that we choose, these songs are out there and sometimes we hear an old songs that we never heard before and be so much attracted to it, how about telling us which song you once stuck to! Just give us the name and download links will be available for them on this blog :).

Best Regards,
Mohammed Hasan.
