How music shapes our moods

​​You know that feeling when the music just hits? You’re on the treadmill at the gym, your song comes on, and you feel like you could run through a wall. You hum a lullaby to a screaming baby, and they suddenly calm down. You hear a track you haven’t listened to in years, and in a heartbeat, you’re 16 again.

Today on Happy Enough, we’re exploring the powerful connection between music and happiness. Garvia talks with music therapist Jennifer Buchanan about what’s really happening in our brains and bodies when the right song plays—and how she’s used music therapy to help people in settings ranging from hospitals to detention centres.
