For the Strength of Youthteaches that “music has a profound effect on your mind, spirit, and behavior.” Music can enrich your life in so many ways, but it can also be dangerous. President Thomas S. Monson said: “Music can help you draw closer to your Heavenly Father. It can be used to educate, edify, inspire, and unite. However, music can, by its tempo, beat, intensity, and lyrics, dull your spiritual sensitivity. You cannot afford to fill your minds with unworthy music.” And it may not matter if you listen carefully to the words or not; words that are put to music are often easily learned and easily remembered. No wonder we are cautioned to “choose carefully the music [we] listen to.”
