Music – That Feel Good Addiction!

Posted on April 25, 2011

Music has a deep psychological effect on each of us.  Some melodies make us sad, others make us happy, some make us relax while others energize us. Have you ever wondered why music makes you happy? Accordingly to Discovery News, music releases a feel-good chemical associated with addiction called ‘Dopamine’.

This funky little chemical helps to motivate an individual in different ways, which explains why upbeat tunes make me dancing through the house while doing my chores or even force me out of procrastination.   Do you groove to the beat?

Now that you’ve been educated on why Music Moves Me (you), it’s time to climb on the Love Train for this Music Moves Me Monday!

 

 

LOVE TRAIN The O’Jays

 This week’s theme is no theme also known as “Freebie week”, which means you get to pick your personal best this morning.

Freebie themes are like a curveball.  I’m not sure what to do with it, especially on a Monday morning.  Hmmm… I believe I’ll use ‘Train’ as my theme and see what cool tunes I can hunt up.  Are you ready to get on board? Then turn the volume up on your speakers and enjoy the ride.

9 TO 5 (MORNING TRAIN) Sheena Easton
PARTY TRAIN The Gap Band
CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO The Andrew Sisters
RUNAWAY TRAIN Elton John & Eric Clapto
LONG TRAIN RUNNING Doobie Brothers
MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA Gladys Knight & the Pips

 Wowza! Unbelievable!  What a ride!  The list of ‘train’ songs is looong.  These selections tickled my heart’s musical chord and I wanted to share the love with you.  For more selections click HERE.  Don’t forget to link up with the Monday’s Music Moves Me, crew!

Have an excellent MMM!

    What a great bunch of songs… I’ve never heard of the “Party Train” but all the rest I immediately started singing right along.
    Thanks for playing with us this week – sorry it took me so long to visit, but it’s been a LONG week. Hope you had a lovely Easter.

4M Guidelines: Below are the 4M co-hostess. The rules are simple. Every other week, a suggested (not mandatory) theme is given to build your song picks. We're looking for embedded music to enjoy, one song or several. On the off weeks, we dance to whatever music moves you (your choice)! It's just that easy. Have fun and welcome to the party!
