Though, it is very difficult to even begin to comprehend the vast responses that are felt by audiences. This source begins to decipher the emotional responses of people and why they actually happen. (8) Though little evidence can be found to support the claim that music evokes emotional responses, some evidence suggests that responses are linked to behavioral and psychological changes in the listener. (9) I am extremely persuaded by this book because this source finally provides objective and subjective evidence supporting the emotional effectiveness of music. (10) Key sentences and passages –
 * "Emotions are named and distinguished from one another largely in terms of the external circumstances in which the response takes place."
 * "In such cases the response must have made to those elements of the musical organization which tend to be constant, e.g., tempo, general range, dynamic level, instrumentation, and texture."

Additionally, these song lyrics can help establish how musicians and songwriters use specific moves in order to evoke certain emotions in the audience. (8) Many songs, including "Secret Crowds," were written with the intention to evoke a certain emotional response in the audience. (9) I do not think that I could be persuaded by this piece since it was chosen in order to analyze the effect that musical lyrics can have on listeners.
