Why don't we tire of music?


So, there’s a lot of smart folk’s on this site, and I’ve been wondering why people never grow tired of listening to music. For example, we don’t read the same book over and over, nor do we watch the same TV show or movie over and over.  But, we never get tired of listening to the same music.  Why is this?  What is it in our mentally that allows this to happen?  Just curious...  Thanks!

“Brazil” Great movie! Thanks for mentioning it. I need to watch it again. Over thanksgiving we were in Michigan. My brother in law has a decent home theater, and we watched “Young Frankenstein “. Still funny after all these years.

My best friend’s wife watched "Karate Kid" dozens of times over the course of her life.  "Sound of Music", too. My wife is stuck on "Avatar", both versions. Which is to say I don’t buy your basic premise. Movies, static art forms of all kinds, and books can be as much of a repetitive obsession as music.
