What do you feel?

A friend who caught a bit of the audio bug from me asked me what I felt when I listened to music. I was taken back by the question because I didn’t know. I told him that I was relaxed when I listened to music. I didn’t think that was a good answer but I couldn’t think of any other. After a few days I came to the conclusion that I what I often feel is a sense of gratitude when I listened to music. I feel gratitude to be hearing the performance so well. It is if I was rich and had the best musicians in the past and present to perform at my pleasure.

What do you feel?

In my case there's an analogy between cravings for music and cigarettes.

First I feel cravings just like before having a cigarette(quit 2 years ago);

Than I figure out what kind of cravings these are:
a) Spin some vinyl; b)Download something new and play; c)Purchase live performance tickets; d)Type of music; e)Recording quality if applicable; d)Opt out from listening...;

Than I go to the listening mode just like smoking cigarette and enjoy the music just like I used to enjoy the cigarette.

My 'cravings' for music are substantially more frequent than for cigarettes that still exist after 2 years of not touching a single cigarette at least once per week.
