During the early 1950's, every song that you heard on the radio was positive. At that time, there was no term to describe positive music because there was little music that wasn't positive. Because of the quantity of negative music that society now accepts, there is now a great need to understand the difference between music that is positive, healthy and healing, and music that is negative, depressing, unhealthy and stress-inducing. In this article, I will present various points about music to help my readers better understand what positive music is all about. However, I would like to make it clear that I am not talking about a particular style of music when I talk about positive music, nor am I just talking about 'happy' music.
Happy music is certainly positive music, but sad music can be positive also.
Negative music invokes emotions such as frustration, anger, suspense, horror, fear, and states of mind such as mental exhaustion, and anxiety. Positive music invokes emotions such as love, joy, hope, peace, and states of mind such as stability, self-worth and tolerance. More DoveSong International is a registered trademark.
