If I pick one, listen to my favorite music. Lately, I have been listening to the same songs over and over. The expert said that familiar music is cognitively “safe,” which means the brain processes it with less effort.
Yes, I feel comfortable. Songs and lyrics connect to personal emotions.

What a beautiful reflection! I completely understand what you mean about familiar music feeling “cognitively safe.” Some songs are far more than melodies—they become treasured companions that comfort us, awaken memories, and gently remind us of different chapters of our lives.
I enjoyed seeing your playlist spanning different years. Each song carries not only its own rhythm but also a unique emotional story. Music has a remarkable ability to transcend language, touching the heart long before the mind begins to analyze the lyrics.
Thank you. I remember I listened to the music using a CD player. During the 1990s (or a little earlier) and the 2000s, it was the CD era 🎵
