I noticed many years ago, that the beats-per-minute (BPM) and music intensity (Classic/Thrash) affect my heartbeat/rate and therefore my mood.
Since then, I listen to classic music when I drive, soft piano jazz when I work, and Sepultura before doing sports.
There are plenty of studies/articles that have discussed how music affects heart-rate (and therefore mood). Below you can find two I found worthy of reading.

With effort I can barely detect non-drastic changes to my heartbeat -- I am much more readily aware of changes to my mood.
