I don't know man. Lyrics make me think a lot. I can relate to them often. Spoken words to appealing sounds can do a lot for me.
But WHY???? It's just noise!
It stems a reaction in emotional form and generates these via chemicals once the sound is interpreted.
Yes, but why does that sound contain any emotional aspects to it? It's easy to say why words can stimulate an emotional response, but I'm just talking about the music itself. There are some instrumentals that can make you feel a wide variety of emotions without any words involved. If you know anything about chords and stuff, you would know that simply changing the second note in a regular three-note chord down one half-step makes it from sounding happy to sounding sad. That's just one tiny tiny difference, yet it changes the entire emotional sound of the chord. Why is that???? IT'S JUST ONE FREAKING NOTE.
I'm hurting my brain.
Hm, I guess there is no real answer to satisfy. To stem more thought, why are these chords able to produce these emotions in us, despite when they become more complex? Such as augmented chords having a sort of "twilight" feeling, diminished chords being even more sad than minor chords? Or Major 7th chords sad and happy, melancholy? And even the inversion used or it's place in a progression can change it's entire emotional interpretation?
The answer? It's just how it is, I suppose!
