The purpose of the study was to examine the role of music in lyric analysis with live music, recorded music and no-music conditions. In this study, group differences were examined with four categories: emotional changes, perceived disclosure levels, participants' perception of the group, and the selection of lines and lyric discussion topics which most affected the participants. Ninety participants were recruited from a university in Florida. Each of 90 participants participated in one of 3 conditions: live music condition (n = 30), recorded music condition (n = 30) and no music condition (n = 30). Research sessions were randomly assigned and were conducted with 3 participants at a time. A pre- and posttest design was used to measure the emotional changes, and posttest only design was used to measure the perceived disclosure levels and the group impression. The lyric sheets were analyzed for the selection of lyric lines and the discussion topics. A One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences in the post feeling of sadness in the live music condition, and in the participants' perceived disclosure levels in the recorded music condition. There were no other significant differences by types of music.
