Sometimes music (real music) feels like it is influential enough to dictate the course of events around it. At least alter the moods of the people listening, and therefore the actions of those individuals, and vice versa. The current mood could also be held responsible for the musical selection.
For Example:
Two days ago: Depression.
Musical Selection: Disturbed, Metallica.
Yesterday: Not so much.
Musical Selection: Incubus, Bush.
Today: Not Bad.
Musical Selection: Zwan, Vertical Horizon.
I have often heard of the comparisons of music to architecture.
I have even heard a similar argument made that architecture influences people's behavior. Buildings are bound to steer the course of action of the people inside them. Maybe that is the failure of a place like a state hospital, [Danvers] designed in a Gothic Revival style, or the unplanned success of another building.
Maybe for the same reason that is why so many stories of heroism came from the World Trade Center, a structure built to be the ultimate expression in open form design. (The Core and the exterior walls were the structure. It leaves a very open floor plan.) My point is that a person would feel more attached to his co-workers if he looked at them on a daily basis, which this floorplan allowed.
In any case; I feel better mentally today, than I did a few days ago, and better physically, than I did a week ago.
