Emotions in Music

Music affects people's emotions in different ways. Certain types stimulate sadness or anger while other types cause feelings of well being or happiness. Music is used in various settings to help set the mood of an environment or to amplify an experience.  It is also used to deliver messages in media and entertainment. The power of music continually affects the emotions of people and motivates them towards change or harmony. A great example of harmony that was felt all over the world was Michael Jackson's, We Are the World. 
This song still brings goose bumps to my arms when I listen to it.  This song is a collection of famous singers, singing for the desire to help our world.
A song that will make me cry everytime I hear it is Your Gonna Miss this by Trace Adkins
The song that annoys me beyond words is Miley Cyrus, The Climb.  It annoys me in so many ways that I cannot begin to list them here.
A song that makes me happy would be Good Life by OneRepublic.
As you can see we can relate to music by how it makes us feel when we listen to it, what a person is doing at the time the song was first heard, in what chapter of our lives we can relate the song to.  All these things are why emotions in music are capable.
