Answer 1

Ahhh, my favorite Creedence song.  I can't believe no one has responded to this question yet.  *star*  Music can totally amplify your emotions.  It just gets me so worked up.  Usually I don't go to the Stones for sorrow though, I do like that song, but I turn to them for more of Paint It Black anger/anguish.  In high school I had a tape where I had recorded Paint It Black over and over again so I didn't have to try to find the song (fast forward, rewind) when I wanted to hear it.  I didn't realize there were videos to these songs.  Thanks for that.

Answer 2

I just read an interesting study on how emotions invoked by music enhance memory processes.  It was interesting reading the process in which we remember the music we hear.
