The idea that I can put little devices in my ears and tap the screen of another device — and listen to almost any song that exists — it seems like a miracle I too often take for granted.

Technological wonders aside, I was listening to some music as I walked recently.

I soon realized that my footfalls were in perfect sync with the music I was listening to.

For better or worse, we can be surprisingly influenced by the music we hear. And we don’t always realize that we’re dancing with the inputs.

The lesson? Play a good soundtrack. Sync yourself to a good tune.
