Document Summary
Motivations: we might purposefully listen to music to: Help us feel happy (e. g. after an unhappy event or when we feel low) Help us feel energetic and enthusiastic (e. g. before going out) To lend us focus on goals and confidence (e. g. before a sporting performance) Help us recall a place, event or person (e. g. a lost relative or past vacation) To distract us from a current feeling or predicament (e. g. pain, anxiety over something) To add to, reflect, speak to, resonate or even amplify, how we are feeling (e. g. sad, lonely) To take us momentarily elsewhere (e. g. to a fantasy world, to a place) To relieve boredom or alter the perception of time (e. g. music whilst working out) To attach us to a particular culture or fashion and show this self-identity to observers (e. g. boys and their bass boxes in their cars) To enter a spiritual mindset or openness (e. g. whilst taking recreational drugs)
