Is it possible to live without music?
Hi Steemians.
Never before in the history of humanity have so many musical genres been available with great ease for so many people in the world; the development of electronic media in the latter part of the 20th century revolutionized the access and use of music in our daily lives. We can turn on the radio, play an MP3, CD or cassette, or listen to music in videos or television with very little effort. This was not always the case. Before these technological developments, music was only accessible if people did it themselves or when attending certain religious or social events.
The music is powerful
Music is a very powerful medium and in some societies there have been attempts to control its use.
- It is powerful at the group level because it facilitates communication that goes beyond words: it allows sharing meanings and promotes the development and maintenance of individual, group, cultural and national identities.
- It is powerful at the individual level because it can induce multiple responses: physiological, movement, mood, emotional, cognitive and behavioral. Few stimuli have an effect on such a wide range of human functions.
Music has a therapeutic power
The healing power of music has been recognized for a long time. Therapy can involve everything from listening to making music. It can be effective to begin relaxation, relieve anxiety and pain, and promote well-being through the production of endorphins. Its uses have been extensively explored with particular groups of patients, the elderly, people with brain damage and those with persistent pain. It has also been used to promote appropriate behavior in vulnerable groups and improve the quality of life of those who can not be helped medically.
In addition, it can play an important role in human development, stimulating fetuses and babies from the womb, in a way that promotes their well-being. The first interactions between the mother and the child have an essentially musical quality that helps the development of their abilities. Listening to music or participating in its creation does not seem to directly affect intelligence, although active participation in musical creation can improve self-esteem and promote the development of a range of social skills. Listening to quiet and relaxing music can improve performance in a variety of academic tasks, while exciting music can interfere with them.
On the other hand, music can manipulate moods, reduce stress, relieve boredom by performing tedious or repetitive tasks, and create appropriate environments for certain types of social occasions. In summary, music is being used by individuals to improve the quality of their lives.
Music influences the consumer
There is a large industry concerned about the effects of music on workers and consumers, and its reason is simple: music can subtly influence our purchasing behavior. It can help remember product names by associating this with the music we like. When consumers are actively involved in making a decision about the purchase of a product, it is likely that music plays a more peripheral role. This indicates that music is present in our daily lives and influences our behavior.
This musical demand will probably continue to increase. That is why, to increase our appetite for it, the music industries in the world are an important element in the economy of many countries.
For example, in the United States, music is among the main generators of income. The average American is exposed to more than 1,600 commercial messages in each 24-hour period. Most of these ads are accompanied by music.
Imagine a world without sounds. Imagine listening to the radio and all you hear is talking nonstop. Imagine poetry without a melody. You go out into the yard, you see birds but you do not hear them sing. When you drive, travel by subway or take a bus or even walk, you do not have melodic sounds around you ... where would your creativity come from?
Music inspires, improves, expands horizons, relieves, excites, brings joy, makes sad days tolerable, makes special days the best of our lives. Music is everywhere and everything is musical in its own way. Music can be serious, tactile, create frivolity or it can simply be silly.
Music enters our lives when we are born and leaves when we die.
Music is a universal language. It is not necessary that you know its lyrics, in fact, music itself will tell you to laugh, to cry, to smile, to frown, to be cheerful, or hateful. It can make you swell with pride or tremble with anger.
So it would be ideal if someone who reads this article carefully, send me the song that serves to give music to your life!

Speaking for myself, I can tell you that I'll be dead without it
Music is great, though it's possible to go without. People in the past went into the wilderness, just retracting from society and living on the land; their music was the flow of life itself.
Robots can make music like this now, I've realized that they can theoretically control us that much more.
Good points! greetings from Venezuela
