For many, music is nothing more than a noise you hear in passing. But for others, a song can be the lifeline that helps them carry on through trying times. In her TEDx Talk at the University of Nevada, breakthrough artist Cam shared her firsthand experience of how powerful music can really be.
Before she shot to fame with her hit single "Burning House," Cam obtained a psychology degree and worked in the field. This experience gives her an especially intriguing bit of insight into how music has helped humans survive and thrive through trying times.
"Music carries the burden of our heartbreak," she explains in her speech. "It allows us to process grief. It reminds us that good things are coming and it lets us know that we are not struggling alone."
