What is it about songs that makes us so emotional? It doesn't even have to be intentionally written that way! Look at any music video on youtube and someone will have written "I love this song" or "this song is so great", "it makes me happy" or "it always brings a tear to my eye".
What makes one person like a song when another person refuses to listen to it again? Something in a song corresponds to something within the individual: lyrics, rhythm, melody, pitch, artist
...I haven't quite worked out why.
It's understandable when a voice, the lyrics or tune reminds someone of a friend, lover, family member, deceased or alive, leading to those youtube messages "I LOVE YOU...TONY" or "This reminds me of my granddad. I miss you" What about when someone is over the top regarding a song and doesn't know why. What is it about the tune that just...gets us?
Maybe I'll post a response to my own questions when the answer dawns.
