The Psychological Effect of Songs

Subconscious Mind Programming

One of the facts of life is that everything that you hear or see programs your mind. The child who is constantly being called names like dumb grows up thinking that he really is dumb. A person who is is told that he can't succeed, whether by other people or himself, will never succeed, and a person who always watches comedy movies will tend to be cheerful.

As you can see, each type of input we receive is stored in our minds and turned into a belief. If you constantly receive negative messages as input, you will have negative beliefs and vice versa. I know that sometimes negative messages cannot be avoided and I know that people who put you down are usually more than those who push you to succeed, but in this article I am addressing something different, I am talking about the case where the person himself is the source of these negative messages. How, you might wonder, can that be? One of several answers is: By selecting the wrong songs to listen to.

Programming Yourself with the Songs You Listen To

Have you ever noticed the words of your favourite music track?
Have you ever analyzed them and tried to find how many negative messages they contain?

The songs you listen to are no more than suggestions accompanied by music. These suggestions are even more dangerous than normal ones because you usually listen to music while you're busy doing something else. This allows suggestions in the song to directly insert themselves into your subconscious mind without first being filtered by the conscious mind!!!!

Do you know what this means? This means that if you listen to a song containing 5 negative messages 10 times a day you will be exposing yourself to 50 negative messages every day!!!

An Analysis of the Song “My Immortal”

Personally, “My Immortal”, one of Evanescence's tracks, is one of my personal favourites, however before listening to my immortal or similar songs you should first prepare yourself so as not to be programmed or affected by its lyrics, otherwise, the ideas you recieve from that song will turn into beliefs that may impact your ability to recover from break-ups. The following are select lines taken from the song’s lyrics with an interpretation of the negative messages each one contains:

I am so tired of being here
(Message: I am really feeling bad)

Because your presence still lingers here and it won’t leave me alone
(Message: I will never be able to forget about you)

These wounds won’t seem to heal; this pain is just too real
(Message: this pain will never go away because it’s too real)

There is just too much that time cannot erase
(Whatever happens I will never be able to forget about you because of
all of these good memories we had together)

I have tried so hard to tell myself that you are gone but though you are still with me
(I have already tried, but I failed, I will never be able to help myself)
(In summary: there is no hope, I will suffer, I will feel pain, you will never come back and I will stay broken forever)

Wow! These five very powerful negative messages are repeated three times throughout the song! If you like this song as I do, and if you hear it several times a day then you will be receiving loads of negative programming every day. These messages will affect how your mind deals with break-ups and so the next time you're broken-hearted, you will take ages to recover if at all.
By both, listening to songs like these, and trying to recover from a bad relationship you will find conflicting emotions within yourself, something that hardly helps you to recover.

You must understand the dangers behind these messages and carefully select the songs you listen to. Doing so will enable you to avoid negatively affecting your life without even knowing it.

Should I Completely Avoid Listening to Songs like "My Immortal"?

Of course not, but there are rules for listening to these types of songs. In the case of my immortal, you should first read about the psychology of falling in love to know the truth about recovery from breakups and to discover that there is nothing called “the one”. You need to discover that you can get over any person, no matter how attached you were to him/her. After knowing all of these facts, the programming messages in the song will no longer affect you.

You should also know that these messages are far from being true. Just try to enjoy the music and words and don't let the negative ideas get to you. Doing anything else will only harm you. If you're just broken up with someone and feel bad about it, you should completely AVOID these types of songs since they will only slow down your recovery.

In my book How to get over anyone in few days i pointed out how the music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups for months!! Those who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don't. So if you want to recover fast from breakups, make sure you avoid such songs until you fully recover.

Successful People Usually Listen to Motivating Songs

Try to find what successful and motivated people listen to and you will be amazed to know that successful people tend to prefer special types of music!! You will almost never find a self-motivated person who does not listen to motivating songs like “breaking the habit tonight”. My advice is to select your songs wisely, because whatever you hear or see programmes your mind and so affects your life directly.

Did that help?

I want to know more about psychological effect of music

Yes, but tell me which songs can make me more motivated.

Tell me more about programming the mind.

You are right, but I'm currently broken hearted. What can I do about that?
