There’s a saying that goes by ‘music is a universal language,’ and that’s true because when words fail, music speaks. Are you feeling low, sad, depressed, worried, or having a bad time? The effective therapy that can calm you or lift up your mood is music. Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher says- “Without music, Life would be a mistake.” Indeed, it is present everywhere and at every corner of the world. It is something that can bring people together, something you can dance on and something that can heal a broken person.
