Alice Wignall on the health benefits of singing →
Advocates of singing lament its diminishing role in our lives: from the days when we sang round the piano in the pub and to pass the working day, to soothe babies and to mark moments of celebration and sorrow. Singing is sacred and everyday, ritualistic and spontaneous. It makes us better, and makes us feel better. And we should all be doing more of it.

I definitely find that singing calms me down when I’m feeling stressed or upset, much in the way that cats purr to calm themselves when they’re frightened.
