Music and its Effects on the Mind and Body

The "doctrine of ethos" that the ancient Greeks believed in states that music can affect your body, mind, and soul. I do believe this to be true, because I can be mad and turn on some rap or heavy metal to help relieve some of the madness and feel better. I like listening to music that is set with the mood I am in, on the way to work and the way home, or if I go somewhere else during the day. If I am sad, I will listen to some sad songs or maybe something to cheer me up, depending on the situation.
