Why Do We Use ‘Music’ to Express Our Emotions?

Imagine you're sad, and you hear a song that makes your tears flow, magic, right? Music helps us feel emotions because it uses sound and rhythm, which are like happy or sad voices we can listen to. When we sing along, we share our feelings with the music, making it even more special.
