Tune In, Feel Alive 🎶

When was the last time a song sent shivers down your spine? Music isn’t just sound—it’s energy, emotion, and an instant mood booster. Whether you’re feeling drained, stuck in a funk, or simply need a fresh start, pressing play on the right track can work wonders.

Science shows that your favorite songs light up the brain’s pleasure center, unleashing a rush of dopamine and serotonin—the same feel-good chemicals linked to joy and euphoria. The deeper your connection to the music, the stronger the high. Pretty powerful, right?

The Magic of Music, Backed by Science

Think of music as a secret key to your brain’s happiness circuits. Every beat, melody, and lyric you love unlocks waves of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, creating a natural high that lifts your spirits.

And it gets even better—when a song is tied to a special memory, it activates the prefrontal cortex, instantly bringing back vivid emotions and nostalgic moments. In a heartbeat, you’re transported to a time and place that made you smile.

So go ahead—turn up the volume, lose yourself in the music, and let the rhythm work its magic. 🎧✨

The Magic of Teenage Tunes The music we fall in love with during our teenage years holds a special kind of magic. Between the ages of 12 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development, and the songs we listen to during this time become deeply imprinted. Thanks to a blend of hormonal changes, brain growth, and the way music ties into our evolving social identities, these tracks form strong emotional bonds that stay with us for life. It’s no wonder the songs from our youth feel like timeless classics!

  1. Get out whatever app, device, thing you play music on. For many of us that’s Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music or Pandora.
  2. Start by searching for the 5 favorite songs you listed above. Add them to your own playlist.
  3. Now let those songs trigger you into other favorites. Your streaming service may prompt you with similar songs – review them to find other songs you love.
  4. Keep going until you have an hour or so of music. Great job! You know have a playlist that’s as powerful as medication. Scientifically. The next time you feel down, or have a headache, or need a boost – reach for this playlist instead of a drink or an advil!

Pro Tip: Go through a list of all the hits for the years when you were 12 - 22. The songs you fell in love with during these years have the greatest amount of neuro-chemical power for you. Just google: “billboard hottest 100 [and the year when you were 12]” etc. Example: “billboard hottest 100 1990” - view results
