6 Reasons Why Live Music is Good for the Soul

While listening to music in the comfort of your home can be a very relaxing audial experience , watching a live music performance is surely food for the soul . COVID-19 made people realise the importance of community and how people are a source of joy . The passion and connection atmosphere . As India is seeing a host of concerts by Coldplay , Dua Lipa , Maroon 5 , Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Aujla , to name a few , live music ’ s alluring charm is surely hard to beat .
1 . A Connect with People
It is often said that a good concert has the power to change the world . When so many people come together at the concert venue , there is a surreal experience of the crowd singing collectively with positivity in their hearts . Dancing , singing and enjoying together is a more fulfilling experience than being alone . This feeling is not easy to replicate via virtual methods for sure .
2 . Living in the Present
Everyone ’ s life is full of ups and downs , with a gazillion thoughts running through our minds all the time . But life seems more magical in a concert , and the worries of the outside world crash for a bit . Since live music occurs only for a short while , like 2-3 hours , the mind is fully concentrated there and does not wander away into endless thoughts .
3 . Music = Therapy
Many researchers have concluded that the therapeutic qualities of music lead to a dose of catharsis , which is the purging of emotions . Listening to a jazz band , rock anthem or even classical orchestra performance makes us find solace and a sense of replenishment for the senses .
4 . Dopamine Release
The feel-good effect on the mood is caused by the release of dopamine in the brain , and music is one of the sources . The thrill of adventure , the energy of the performers and the excitement of the crowd all add up to the same , making the heart race faster , amplifying the effect even further . The overall vibe of the concert then becomes uplifted when everyone is in sync , making the feel-good factor extra special .
5 . A Burst of Creativity
Sometimes , life can feel uninspiring and unproductive when you follow the same routine day in and day out . Though a vacation here and there serves as an escape from the same humdrum of city life , it doesn ' t really cause a sudden burst of creativity . However , attending live music can ignite a fire in the heart when you witness the creativity and musical upheaval in front of you , which can prompt the listener to explore their own talents .
6 . Unlocking and Making Memories
As a person grows older , the friend circle decreases as everyone gets caught up with work and family . Live music with old friends , like in college and school , is surely a way to relive old memories and , of course , make new ones as well . Also , the feeling that you had forgotten can be revived with particular songs whose lyrics resonate with that emotion .
