Interesting question. And one I cannot answer.

The only thing I can say is why do birds sing? It is the same thing, it is in our souls.

1. It usually puts me in a good mood.
2. It can instantly transport me back to a great time in the past.
3. The excitement of live music usually means hot chicks, hot licks and cold beer. Yes!

The beats and chord progressions stimulate my mind and captures specific emotions that are important to me.

Always loved the piano. When I was a child, my mother played the piano in our home. When I grew older, I became very attracted to artists like Bruce Hornsby, Marc Cohn, George Winston, and Jim Brickman. The types of chords and arrangements gave me chills and the sounds became addictive. To say that I dealt with constant earworms would be an understatement. Music is addictive and certain sounds resonates with different listeners.

To me, the creation of great music is the closest you can get to actual magic in the non-metaphysical world. Even "magicians" are only tricking you with sleight of hand and false illusions. A mind that pieces together disparate elements and makes them work in a medium as intangible as harmonic sound waves is doing something truly astounding. At the highest achievement level it is genius in it's purest form.

And it goes good with beer.

I'm not a huge Dylan guy, but that quote is spot on.

One very interesting question to which I have never heard a satisfying answer is: why do we physiologically love music? i.e., what is it about an arrangement of sounds that can cause us to actually feel things, or have to put a song on repeat because we can't get enough of it?

In other words, we know physiologically why a really sexy female makes my dick hard, but I don't think we know why music does the music equivalent of making my dick hard.

Its sensory pleasing and sometimes fills an emotional void
