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?

music appeals to the head or the heart.

i find some music a catalyst to thinking and problem solving, while other music appeals to the emotions.

i think there is another aspect of the value of music which has been implied by some of the posts. music has the ability to both alter psychological states, as has been indicated, but also alter physical states, which has not been mentioned.

music can lower blood pressure and put you to sleep, or at least contribute to a soporofic state.
