Why does music have a potent effect\u00a0on our emotions?\u00a0 In a 2001 study at the University of McGill, in Montreal Canada, neuroscientists studied the effects\u00a0of music on the brain.\u00a0 Using magnetic resonance imaging they showed that people listening to pleasurable music had activated brain regions called the limbic and paralimbic areas.\u00a0 These regions\u00a0are connected to reward responses in the brain.\u00a0 As a result of listening to music, the brain would release dopamine into the body resulting in the feeling of pleasure.<\/p>\n
In addition to providing pleasure, songs are\u00a0esthetic form of expression.\u00a0\u00a0We write songs because we feel like we have a message we want to share with the world.\u00a0\u00a0During the coronavirus pandemic, the feeling of isolation and sadness for all that is going on in the world is normal.<\/p>\n
