- We all know that music tugs at our heartstrings. But the question of why music gives us the feels is a trickier one, and it’s something psychologists have been investigating for a long time.

I think It’s important to explore different genres, not be an elitist, and realize that music is completely subjective. As a classically trained Violinist, I have recently gained an immense liking and appreciation for lyrical hip hop and hardcore metal music. Just giving myself the opportunity to listen to it for a while without any preconceived judgements has allowed me to appreciate that those genres can be just as complex, skilled, and intricate as any other genre. Judging genres without actually understanding the context, intricacies , or emphasize is kind of like watching a basketball game without knowing the rules. To someone who’s never seen the game it may appear incredibly simplistic, but to an NBA player, Coach, or sports analyst, or anyone with a trained visual eye who understands the intricacies and complexity of the game, it is just as complex as string theory or quantum physics. The same is true for music. Take the time to actually learn, study, and understand different genres of music (even ones you don’t like). At the very least, understand that the same feeling you get from your favorite song, is the feeling someone else can get from theirs.
Amen, variety is the spice of life, especially when it comes to music.
im just glad you didnt say mumble rap
Kevinito9 There's really no such thing as mumble rap. It’s made for a specific context of vibing and having a good time in a party atmospheres. There are some incredibly unique sounds and production in “mumble rap”. There's also sorts of unique and dynamic flow patterns, inflections, vocal fluctuations, innovative production, experimentation etc. The vocal creativity in trap is off the charts. There are actually some decent artists in trap music. To this day nobody can still explain what mumble rap is. The line between mumble rap and regular rap is so blurred.
Well from what i remember looking it up years ago the people that listen to metal and orchestral are the same kind of people so thats not surprising.
I once simply hated music. Everything anyone else was listening to was terrible. One day, I accidentally listened to some classical music on TH-cam. I was going to leave when I found myself entranced by the melody and beauty of the piece. Baroque, Classical, and Romantic-I expanded my tastes to the three big periods (though some other classical music also appeals to me). I feel like the variety of classical music itself is often overlooked. After all, it’s just an umbrella term. Despite my efforts, other music just doesn’t please me at all.
To me certain music just makes me burst out crying, and it makes sense because the theme of the song is sad, but it also happens when something is incredibly beautiful and makes me feel joy.
"and it makes sense because the theme of the song is sad"
It's the same as "It makes sense because yes". Why does the brain perceive it as sad tone? That's the question
@@armen_kocharyan is there any science behind it that explains why certain notes evoke us certain feelings? I didnt find anything on youtube
I know what you mean.. the Mario Bros theme.. Gets me every time.
Yes... not just that, all sorts of theme music i hear from childhood tv series, like Saber Rider, Knight Rider, Star Trek TNG ... whenever i hear them, I feel like being the kid sitting on the couch, watching TV in the 80s
Your pfp was an intelligent pick
Actually, there is a lot of Zelda music that makes me well up when it plays
Have you ever noticed that the first couple notes resemble the 3,2,1, go beeps of old games? Dununun dunun dun dun
your pfp is so tempting lol, god damn
Not only music, but all kinds of sounds can make you feel something. Hearing birds in the morning will give a good feeling to most people, the sound of a water stream is enjoyable, jungle sounds are nice and many people like hearing rain drops when sleeping. Or, in my case, cars (or engines in general) sound great to me. Im not talking traffic noise, but for example when a big engine starts, a sports car revs it up or a race car accelerates. For me, thats better than any music. Once I almost started crying of happiness at a drift show - the sound just touched me.
The reapers sound effects were also a combination of a bunch of the most terrifying sounds to humans.
Your first examples are all things that exist and have existed in nature for millions of years, the car engine I can understand as it being a audible result of precision engineering, progress will always sound good to a human. Music hasn’t existed in the natural world for a long time, so it really stumps me as to how it can have such a gripping effect on a human.
@@Jim90117 Maybe music just reminds us of communication before there was actual language.
@@Jim90117 And maybe the car sounds remind my instincts of the thrill of hunting big roaring creatures...
On the contrary, hearing "calming" sounds can easily make me sad and feel lonely. I realize though this is because of depression, so anything can easily turn into sadness in my mind. Car sounds however make me easily angry, especially the louder they are. I'm glad they can make you happy though 😅

2:41 Nate Biehl may have found the best stock video I’ve ever seen
Rom-coms need to change their sound track to that of a horror movie... I would definatly watch that! 👌
I'd watch the vice versa
I mean, a lot of the stuff in romcoms would end in restraining orders irl, so yea...
I mean it’d make them more realistic
When you hear too much beauty that you can’t handle it
I occasionally hear a harmony that makes me cry almost instantly.
I believe It’s not necessarily if your an emotional person but rather how deep your emotions can be
Everytime I hear “my tears are becoming a sea” it tugs at my heart strings ngl
The human mind is so much more beautiful than we could've ever imagined...read that sentence again...
I can't explain how much I love humans every time I think about something like this.
I cry everytime when I listen to “This Land” by Hans Zimmer from the Lion King OST

This is so insightful! Thank you for being so informative and having so much information
What's always mystified me is people who don't like music. I've known two in life. I struggle to imagine how it's possible.
Don't like music in general, or prefer other forms of entertainment, or the obsession for hearing music?
They probably were generalizing, though it's possible it's also possible that environment and upbringing can affect their views on it, given that they expect themselves not to like music they don't pay attention to it and don't seek it out, not that I have found anything nice in waiting rooms or restaurants. If they explored they might actually find something they like, it could be a very obscure genre or band.
Maybe they have just never been exposed to the type of music they would like. It's possible all they've heard, depending where they are from is more popular songs in the rap, hip hop, soul, country & rock genre. There are other types of music in other areas of the world. Maybe they would enjoy socca or bacchata or african music. its like someone saying they've never been in love, doesn't mean there is something wrong with them, they just havent met someone to love yet.
@@j.hypolite5163 Thanks for the provocative response. Your proposal makes a lot of sense. Seems quite plausible. I like it. I'll likely ponder & analyze this entertaining hypothesis for many years to come. Thanks! ;~]
What I never understood is when people say "I like music!" as if it was a worthwhile information to convey, while they actually mean that they are really into some specific genres - but for them that's what music all is. I'm tempted to poke a little joke on them to interpret their words in the very literal sense, but usually I just end up not reacting much at all.
I would probably be interested in talking to someone who does not like music at all, if they are willing to explain how come it is the case. (Not for justification, just I think it is interesting and not very common.)

I love how it didn’t answer the question in the title
SomeBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME. I AIN'T THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHEEED 😥😢😭
Country roads, take me home. Where I belong [inhales furiously]
WEST VIRGINIAAAAA 😥😢😭
And they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming
It’s gonna be the best day of my life 😭
Let's get funky
To the left. Take it back now y'all. One hop this time!
The part about memory I really relate to. But not only memory but also sensations. There are songs that if I listen today I'll feel the same sensations I felt when I used to listen to that same song over and over at a certain time. It do brings back memories such as the exact place I was while listening the song and what I was doing. But having unique sensations enbebed in each song is something that fascinates me because it's really hard to explain a sensation unlike a feeling.
I just watched a sad music video called “Windows XP installation music.” I didn’t expect it to make me cry literally. It pretty much left an impact on my entire life for the rest of my godforsaken life. It was a really good song but it had a sad vibe to it which is what got a hold of me. Even though I never used Windows XP in my life, the nostalgia took over my brain and it was uncontrollable.
One part of the beauty of music is that you can't explain it, isn't it?
It would be but humans can never leave a mystery alone. Everything has to be able to be explained. That’s why I like the universe. We will never in eternity know everything. It’s like a big middle finger the universe gives us. It’s a bit of a paradox actually because most people absolutely love a big mystery but die to solve them all
I love this video, much like most of your others. I'm hoping you might be able to do a video that discusses ECT, the efficacy or lack there of, how it's used today, the benefits vs the side effects, but also as compared (when combined with CBT & DBT) to a treatment plan focusing exclusively on medications & therapy. What are the long term side effects and benefits? Thank you! Love your channels!
Jean Michelle Jar's Chronologies pt1 first tune on the album brings me to tears, no matter how hard i try to fight it i can't stop it and i'm a grown-ass man at 32 ... that song has played a big role in my love for electronic music but most of all its the anthem of our families triumph coming to America, my father played it on our shitty speakers in our single bedroom apartment in France a year before we were getting ready to leave for the first time when i was just in diapers and it made such an impact on me that i became obsessed with the album ... no other piece of music makes me so emotional, but honestly if you ask anyone thats ever listened to that piece they will tell you its the song that would likely play if the gates of heaven were opening to great you as your soul leaves your body ... Its that good and arguably one of the best pure symphonies i've ever heard. Highly suggest people check it out ...
my most recent flood of chills was listening to "afraid to shoot strangers" The guitar riff is just too good. I'm not sure if it's the time change, (I seem to really love em) or just the rhythm of the riff, but it happens every single time. For a longer term flood of feels, the Morrowind theme absolutely pulls me back to my first time playing and just how strange, wonderful and vast the world was. In a way, I hope we eventually understand why we have such strong reactions to music, but part of me is fine just feeling stuff and just enjoying
I Have listened to much music lately! Ive forgotten what a good song feels like 🎧🥰🎧
I know a song which can both make me cry and enjoy it at the same time depending the person I'm thinking of. Summertime by MCR, I dedicated it to an ex a little under a year ago, so when I think of him it can sometimes make me cry. But if I think of my current crush I can associate it with him.
The incarnation of boredom Oh, to be 13 again...
Love that song! It makes me feel interesting, like it sounds sad but it makes me feel happy in a way
There is definitely a strong connection to memories song can send you back years to something you are totally forgot but to me, it’s the Multi dimensional element, you hear music through your ears and brain response, but also sound can travel through things sound can penetrate deep inside of you monks chanting to a pacific note, can make your whole body vibrate
Exactly! And I think it depends on the person's brain chemistry, how emotional one already is, etc.
I can’t listen to “Come Along With Me”
I start sobbing & that’s a weak ass display
When I first heard the full version of it once a long while ago it brought me to tears, and everyone told me that there was no full version, but then the final episode happened and all these people are crying and I'm over here sobbing but also feel vindicated, haha.
I've found context, setup, & circumstance makes all the difference in the world. In some situations, a song may just be noise in the environment. In others, it can start me bawling. Sometimes the effect can be so extreme as to cause me to experience profound physiological responses; such as putting me in a trance like state.
This gives me an idea for a research project regarding the perception of a facial expression with certain background sounds!
I love modern classical music and I have felt emotions when listening to something dissonant. I love dissonance and the emotions that it evokes in me.
It's weird, I cry every time I hear "Final Duet" which is a song from the Omori soundtrack. It quite literally never fails to make me breakdown into tears
There's also frission which is a literal feeling during emotion parts of a song. Experiencing frission, and subsequently reading about it, is how I learned about ASMR
Singing music just in my head helps me to feel less anxious, and listening to a song like Dream On starts my heart pumping, I feel like running, and if my leg hurts, music makes it hurt less or helps me barely even notice it, musics cool, I love it
Music is life to me! I don't need movies/shows or social media, I can just spend an entire day listening to music. However, more often than not it triggers sadness and nostalgia. This is likely due to depression, but it's annoying how even the happiest of songs can paralyze me with melancholy. I even prefer being alone for this reason, if I'm with people and music is playing it's hard for me to focus on anything else.
Sometimes I listen to music that I really like (only some) and it makes my eyes get wider and my heart rate goes up and it feels like I am drowning but its fun? Its like this big wave of rushing emotion that seems like it shouldn't be contained in a body, but it is, and its so overwhelming that you want to be surrounded by it, or consume it, or feel as much of it as you can. It is just this endless hole of excitement and passion that is somehow kept inside and when its over, it makes you feel disappointed and you just want to listen to it again but you've already listened to it 13 times.
Music can bring back the memories along with the feelings... Is that why I listen so much to Undertale and Deltarune music these days? 😋
Thanks for a great video!
One Rainy Wish (Hendrix) still gives me chills every time I listen to it.
Hi, Antonio Damasio has research on why we (sometimes) seek pain and suffering in art (in music or cinema) despite avoiding it in real life. Very interesting... Made me face those situations in a different (better) way. It goes something like this: our emotions have remained through out evolution because they were mostly useful, so there is an expectation (from our fisiological body) that each emotion should have a certain group of reactions/consequences... Fortunately in our human societies we have realized that acting on emotions can many times be counterproductive (to say the least) so we withhold ours very often and sometimes for too long...
And when we cry (for example) while listening to music, we are, in a way, (indirectly) providing one of the expected outcomes caused by some (real) grief or frustration,... And so afterwards it's easier for our body and mind to return to a calmer, more positive state 😉
(Important to mention that hese are not conclusions... These are the researchers own interpretation of their incomplete research and data)
The voices in my head make me feel like when I am emotional shows like Idol & The Voice is wrong and I am a messed up person and it's wrong. I hear these things 10x a day by "the voices"
trance music makes me emotional gets me have tears while dancing because trance music is piece of art and beautiful
But... how about the constant void inside?
NeverAskMeWhy07 Feels
That void resonates like a huge golden bell, peeling out beauty and joy through the blackness or your thoughs.
Indeed there's more than that when music plays.
A kick drum evocates the heartbeat of our mom when we've been in the womb.
An electric guitar evocates a thunder and storms, electricity & powerful lights. Maybe some ancient animals growling. It goes further in our past as human species, in the ancient Africa.
Music is something so organic we can't explain with words, you just feel it. The loudness of an earthquake or a twister is being represented in metal music, as example. Dissonant treble noises could evocate some dangerous animals in our ancient past, that's why a violin tremolo in a horror movie disrupts our amygdala?
Our ancient emotions are evocated in sounds, being noise or plain arranged music.
NSP songs make me feel a lot of things.
Danny Don't You Know gives me the feels.
Same. Last Unicorn, Heart Boner, Danny Don't You Know... 😌
3 words. High Charity Suite. Words will never do justice to describe how beautiful the strings are.
Beethoven's 9th, the culmination of all three movements into the fourth and final movement. The music elates me and brings me to tears, it did so from the very first time I heard it.
0:19 Or how I immediately feel the tears in my eyes whenever I sing-along at "Rise" by Riko Azuna.
Leaves from the vine from Uncle iroh gets me every single time.
I’m a Metal, Rock/Hard Rock type of guy, and the song Fireflies by Owl City hurts me, not in a bad away, just tugs at my heart.
Sonic underwater timer song still gives me anxiety
Music is attached to an experience and when you hear that music you remember that experience and that experience's feelings are reactivated. I'll send you the bill.
Music doesn't arouse feelings for me. It silences them.
I spent a couple of years moving every 3-6 months (I don't recommend it), and I now live very far away from any of those places, so when I hear a song from before I moved where I live now, I remember where I lived when I first heard it, usually on some highway at night.
One good thing about music. When it hits you, you feel no pain~
for me, there are definitely three main influences: memory, evolutional cues and emotional contagion.
when it comes to almost all music i enjoy, it consciously or subconsciously causes me to have memories that make me have the emotions i feel. for example, i early cried today at a song not just because it was sad, but because it was about a profound, difficult time for the artist that i could really relate to and empathize with them over.
next, cues is the next biggest influence, and i think this surely influences everyone out there somewhat. what i mean by "cues" is that an accelerating tempo will make us feel tension/anxiety because it makes us uneasy, reading for something bad to happen. this is the more involuntary response for me.
and last is emotional contagion, which i also think is universal and ties in a bit with cues. if you see someone crying, you will feel like you should cry with them. if you can sense in the way that music is composed that the artist wanted you to react a certain way to it, you are more likely to actually react that way.
Well, I think that it's more about how the brain connects sounds... And what it connects them to.
We all grow with music... Why music?
Because songs are easier to remember than other things... Many stories passed through songs, and when related to social situations, it can induce far more.
Kids find it easier to listen and learn through sounds... Especially when these sounds are songs... It's attractive, it's interesting and it's easy to grab attention with.
Music, used in cinema, games and ells, also tends to relate to a certain attempt to describe a feeling through sounds... Now we, as humans, do have a massive relation between sound and emotion... When people speak in passion, fear, anger and others, they make a different variety of sounds that our brains are already hardwired to translate.
Now, take these basic tunes of voice, or even... Of scenery, of everything we know... And convey it through instruments that imitates these various sounds, to form a story through audio.
Why we get so emotional than?
Because the sounds themselves are mostly based around sounds that occur during sadness, or, sounds relating to sadness...
Since music relates to both social events and how we translate sounds, people can react to sounds very very differently across the globe...
I, personally, find relation to Gothic metal, Synthwave, and ambient music, usually tending towards fantasy, scifi or melancholy.
Looking upon the sounds I grew up with, which are, video game sounds and what I heard in the movies... It all wraps together nicely.
These sounds relate to my childhood, let alone, that most of my life I've been deep in depression, hence, I can heavily relate to such sounds.
Most people, on the other hand, tend to grow and connect to what's popular, to what's current, and to what'll make them connect with others.
Hence, they'd listen to what's considered "in", and the music will relate to their childhood most likely, and will accompany them to adulthood...
As for dancing... Dancing much more fits to a physical expression of what you hear... That is why pop music tends to make people dance as if they engage in intercourse, and why the sounds follow a bit similar to intercourse, and why intercourse is what mostly goes on within their minds.
Or perhaps, that's how it seems to a sideviewer as myself.
I'd look at music as I'll look at any other field of art and design - Except, instead of visual design, it's sound design.
It all comes down to how specific people translate visual/audial cues, and to use their perspective to form something that'll convey certain things within them.
Some songs can make me cry. 😔 Love songs can make you cry. It's different in everyone. Music can give you the chills.
me too. As an adult nothing else can make me cry but a good sad song and violins.
It makes kinda sense that they are connected. First look at the animal kingdom. Many species communicate over a variety of sounds which sound like music, bird singing for example. and emotions with their expressions are the form of communication long before language in nowadays sense existed. Sounds are an important part of conveying information. For example you may not speak the same language as a person but you can easily detect their emotions by only universal sounds we make, like screaming, crying, laughing, groaning etc. Nobody needs to translate for you to understand that the person is sad, in pain or afraid. 80% of communication is non-verbal, meaning facial expressions, gestures, tone of our voice like how we say things entails much more information than the words only by themselves etc. And with that because music is consisting of sounds it seems quite logical that music is closely related to emotion.
I like her expressions and hand movements 😁
Sometimes listening to movie Musical/background songs from harry potter,Lord of the rings,Pirates of the Caribbean etc. makes me feel i'm part of their world.
Those who write the music are expressing their emotions,(or in the case of some commercial music,mimic emotions).If it "works", they pass it along to others.
The explonation that humans used to communicate via music a long time ago, definitely sounds interesting to me. Maybe the chord progressions that invoke such strong emotions out of us today, were just the noises that people would make to communicate emotions with eachother. People would communicate happiness with major chords, sadness with minor chords and fear with dissonant or out of key notes (and more).
Its an interesting world to imagine lol
Som Sabadell flashmob doing Ode To Joy...gets me everytime, look it up, it'll get you too!
I mean I hate music and I cry when someone blasts it and plays it infront of me
People picking up the topic amplifies the emotions 100 times
As a musician, I often ask myself, "What makes a song valuable?" This video suggests one possible answer: music impacts how we feel, and we can control what music we listen to. This gives us some degree of control over how we feel, and there's nothing we hate more than being powerless. Obviously, there's not just one valuable thing about music, so this is far from a complete answer.
I think there was also a study of how other hominids reacted to music, which at first glance was totally different, until the beat was modulated to match their own relative resting heart rates, and suddenly there were similar reactions
Because music is made with emotions. Why pick certain words for how they sound? Why do some things sound sharp and some flat and smooth? What's the difference between 'Kuh' and 'See'? We choose the sharp ones intentionally and the soft ones. So when you listen to music you're listening to a sentence without words. And communication conveys emotions and ideas.
They say that smells are the best at evoking memories, and when I smell English Leather after shave, I think of my ex husband. However, when I hear Lynn Anderson singing "I Beg Your Pardon, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," I vividly remember coming down Mr. Baldy with him at night, going too fast in his old blue Ford Fairlane, sliding back and forth across the seat on one of those uncomfortable wooden bead seat covers as we careened around curves, singing along with the radio, with my hand on his knee and the lights in the valley sparkling in the distance, and smelling his English Leather after shave.
I usually sing when I get scared. It makes me fell better.
Despacito 2 is the most emotional song I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Surprised nobody has done the alexa play despacito comment yet
I'd love to know more about the opposite. When visuals change the feeling music gives us. Constantly editing videos, I notice I can put a slow rumbling song over someone crying and it seems super tragic, but put that same song over someone walking through a forest with a smile and it's an epic uplifting self discovery thing. A friend and I noticed something as small as a slight timing change could change the whole relationship between the music and the visuals in school, when we had to play our visuals and music from separate devices for a class, and meant to show how we could change a bit of the 8th HP movie's trailer from being about the good vs. evil to what Harry was going through in his own head. We pressed the button for the music a second too late, and it ended up looking like it was about Voldemort's uplifting internal struggle.
When Alex is beating the couple in A Clockwork Orange and belting “Singing In The Rain”. Along with the beautiful and classic pieces of music that accompany the scenes in which he and his droogs are attacking innocent people. The dissonance between the music and what’s going on is astounding and jarring.
What scares me the most in a horror film is the soundtrack.
I'm not sure exactly why this is, Brit, but your voice is surprisingly engaging even to my ADD, zone-out-prone brain. Usually if I scroll down to read the comments while any vid is playing, I automatically tune out the speaker. But something about your voice is distracting enough to constantly re-engage my attention so that I actually absorb what you're saying, but without being irritating, or being *so* distracting that I can't also read. Idk, I've just never been able to multitask like that before, so it's kinda cool.
That's awesome!
I don’t know but the “love I know or No I know “tiktok sound and I cry.It’s weird I can’t understand it.
It makes me FEEL GOOD
i think seeing visual beauty and listening to music is working on the same principles.
Certain music makes me sad. Even the most happiest song makes me burst into tears. I’m an emotional person okay?
Add video and music videos give you all the feels.

Music is merely emotions outwardly expressed in an enigmatic way.
in my opinion, music is the single most mysterious thing about human psychology in terms of evolution
When the heavy metal hits as that Baron of Hell comes around the corner.
This is exactly why I no longer listen to Twenty One Pilots on a regular basis, they're too depressing and I've been prone to suicidal thoughts and cutting. Now I listen to happy, hopeful music, especially Piano Guys and Josh Garrels and for King and Country.
The fact that we've never quite understood music may mean that we just don't have the necessary knowledge and technology to do so yet. Or as I believe, that music shows us the soul.
weird flex but ok
whats there to understand its just vibrations in the air that are done in specific intervals. how you interpret it is your own doing. not every one will interpret it the same.
@@MindlessTube but why are some air vibrations music when others aren't when they share so many qualities? Music has been baffling scientists for years, just look at all of Scishow's videos about it
@@zakd2124 all your talking about now is definition, many air vibrations will give emotions not just music, music just defined as air vibrations with a beat/rhythmic pattern.
@@MindlessTube Music gives emotions much more frequently and with more effect than other air waves. And some beats/rhythmic patterns aren't music.
And the fact that people interpret music drastically different than others can show the uniqueness of the soul.
I'm a man of science, but this explanation makes the most sense to me.
Ceremony new order always gave me fell of sadness even im happy all day long
I took mushrooms at a Wookiefoot festival several years ago, the band on stage was singing "SQUEEZE! RELEASE! AHHHHH! SQUEEZE! RELEASE! AHHHHH". I cant quite place the emotion the scene gave me, but I can still feel it after all these years. Good times lol
What video editing software should I start using if I want to start making SCIENCE VIDOES ON TH-cam?(I want the software to be able to handle graphics illustrations animation etc but be easy to use)
when I listen to messages from the stars I cry
Music has a lot of patterns, which, as you said is predictable and very easy to remember, that could be a way to store information before humans invented writing
As a Synysthete (Note no one can spell that) I have a even more intense reaction to music, and it can literally speak and tell stories. Just something to think about
Does reactive inhibition (the requirement of respite for a concerned neural pathway) lead to my ceasing to repeat continuously the same part of a favourite melody?
God gave us the gift of music. In heaven the music is so beautiful any person would break down in tears immediately! That's why he wants us to make and listen to happy loving music because it affects our emotions making us more likely to love our neighbors
Is there any research on why it is that music sometimes hits my brain like a hammer striking an anvil? Sometimes it is a single key change, or riff, but when it hits the spot it hits the spot. I hear that sequence of notes and it is a full body sensation, like my brain is being flooded with dopamine.
What's more, in those instances I tend to replay that section of the song over and over again, and eventually the sensation diminishes. Why is that?
Overthinking things. Just relax and enjoy the music. 😁
