Music has played an integral part in human life since time immemorial. From the lost tunes of ancient civilizations to modern jazz, pop or even romantic ballads, there is always a song for every season and reason.
While, the great romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley had once said, "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought," ever since the Indian film industry has come into being, there have been certain songs that evoke a euphoric feeling. Bollywood songs that bring joy and happiness have a peppy vibe associated with them and bring with it a sense of euphoria.
Furthermore, music, as a therapy, is often used to improve a client's quality of life as well, being beneficial for all individuals, both physically and mentally.
