What Music Feels Like

Imagine you're eating your favorite candy, it makes you giggle and feel good. Music is kind of like that. When people hear a song they love, it's like getting a big hug from the sound. Some songs make you want to dance, others make you think about your best friend, or even make you feel sleepy, just like a lullaby.

Everyone has their own favorite flavors, some people love loud and bouncy music, like jumping on a trampoline. Others prefer soft and gentle songs, like drifting in a cloud.
