When Adele debuted her 2011 single “Someone Like You,” her bittersweet ballad resonated with millions worldwide.
More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular tunes.
Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of tugging at our heartstrings with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.
There is no doubt that music can soothe the soul for some, and it turns out that it could also be a temporary soother for physical pain.
Listening to favorite songs could reduce people’s perception of pain, according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research.
