We sleep, we rest, we rise, we work, play and eat; we sleep again. This is driven by our Circadian rhythms that repeat roughly every 24 hours.\u00a0These are our rhythms of life that influence various bodily functions and are primarily controlled by light exposure.\u00a0 Vitamin D Production: Sunlight exposure is essential for the body to produce Vitamin D, which is vital for bone health and immune function.
Our moods and mental health are affected by light, especially natural light, which has a positive impact. Also, exposure to sunlight can stimulate the release of\u00a0serotonin,\u00a0a neurotransmitter associated with happiness and mood regulation. Maybe this is one reason we are a little obsessed with it, and why it is a topic that is consistently explored in music; if music makes us happy, then music with light in its words can only make us happier. Find a small list of songs that explore the theme of Music and bright light here in Circadian Rhythms: The Best Soaring Thrill of Music<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light and darkness are major influencers on each of us, alongside food, activity and social environment. Music in all its forms has been part of our world even from the earliest of human existence, with archaeologists discovering ‘bone flutes’ dating back tens of thousands of years, alongside evidence of other instruments and vocal practices, indicating that music was a part of prehistoric life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If music be the food of love, play on” is\u00a0a famous line from William Shakespeare’s play, Twelfth Night and again highlights the part music has played in our universe. But why do we sing about light?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light is a common theme in many cultures and traditions, often\u00a0symbolising positive and transformative concepts.\u00a0Light is frequently used as a metaphor for knowledge, truth, goodness, hope, and spiritual awakening.\u00a0It can represent the divine, the triumph of good over evil, or the joy and clarity that comes with understanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, singing about light is a way to connect with powerful, universal symbols that resonate with people across cultures and beliefs.\u00a0It allows us to express complex ideas about spirituality, morality, and the human experience through a universally understood and cherished symbol, according to some sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n
