I don't know if it is a spiritual, physiological or psychological phenomenon, but I believe now more than ever that singing is a universal, built-in mechanism designed to cultivate empathy and compassion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Singing with others is an unmediated, shared experience as each person feels the same music reverberating in their individual bodies. Singing is part of our humanity; it is embodied empathy.
Singing becomes a form of therapy.
I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.
Singing is a form of meditation... apparently the only one that I have command over.
Most of the people who act and sing do so for their own pleasure and that of their friends and family.
There's a certain feeling of giving, a certain feeling of generosity in love songs. When you sing a song of love, you're actually giving something to yourself, too. You're singing and casting these affirmations of love out into the universe. It resonates in your body in a way that feels extraordinary.
Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness. If I sing when I am alone, I feel wonderful. It's freedom.
Singing really oxygenates your blood. You stretch your lungs and take in much more air into them than before. It's really good for your health.
What is certain is that singing is not merely modulating a song by means of the voice: we sing and we celebrate the beauty that we can grow and live every day. If you want to sing and give emotions to those who are listening, you must have something to tell through your singing; you have to use singing like an instrument to tell something.
Singing is just a feeling set to music.
