There is no doubt that music can soothe the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary soother for physical pain.
When Adele debuted her 2011 single 'Someone Like You,' her bittersweet ballad resonated with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular tunes. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of tugging at our heartstrings with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
With millions of songs available, one person's favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes.'It's a very cool result,' said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal.
