Looking at the top 25 list of songs from the New York Times, it is apparent that most of the songs listed are mostly positive, and are meant to keep people motivated in day to day life. With the current coronavirus pandemic sweeping the world, it has become imperative that people who are locked indoors, keep sane and happy. Being stuck inside for long periods of time is never good, and with only so much to keep anyone going, it’s important that people use all the resources available to either work on self-improvement, or to take some time off and relax and maybe, get a Spotify playlist rolling.

Music by no end has a significant impact on us. Music can change the way we think, act, or even live. People that have been raised with a certain genre of music will most likely keep on listening to the same genre well into their adult lives. Music has the power to change how we feel, and listening to a happy song, or even a moody song can make us feel more at ease. It can prepare us for eventualities that can occur in life, and help ease the burden of other sad moments that people might be facing at times like these. With the creation of mood specific playlists on many music streaming platforms, it can help a person feel more comfortable, and eventually better if they’re going through a tough situation that may be affecting their personal life, family life, or work.
