Abstract

Aim of the Study: This study investigates the complex relationship between music and people's lives, concentrating on listening habits, emotional ties, and the influence of music on daily routines and mood.

Methodology: In a poll with 316 respondents, it was found that many people also like to share music with friends and family, even while a sizable portion preferred to listen to music alone, indicating its function as a private haven.

Findings: The results emphasize how musical preferences are dynamic, with frequent genre shifts demonstrating how music can adapt to changing psychological and emotional requirements. Many people enjoy uplifting and positive lyrics, and a significant number of participants think that music has a big impact on their mood. Additionally, according to the statistics, listeners prefer music that expresses their current emotional state, and a sizable percentage of respondents utilize music as a stress-reduction and emotional-uplifting aid.

Conclusion: Although opinions about instrumental music are divided, its relaxing qualities are recognized. Live music is not as popular as recorded music, probably because digital platforms are more convenient. Overall, the study highlights the significant and widespread impact of music on everyday life and emotional health, offering insightful information for future studies and useful applications in music therapy and mental health therapies.
