Why, oh, why...

Why do we like music ? Does anyone have any scientific
explanation ?

Cause it reflekts all aspects of our emotional spectrum.

Because it gives us that emotion we seek the moment of
listening.

emotions...

Good question: I think we get certain emotions because we
associate the way the music sounds (tempo, notes/chords
used, timbre, etc.) with something we might have heard or
experienced before in our lives (???)

This is a good question but extremely hard to answer.

well, it brings us like in another world, through the aural
stimuli... aurally we feel in another world, an escape from
our everyday reality - i think if we loved the reality we
live in, we wouldn't care that much about music... nor about
other forms of art, nor about travels, etc.

and even if we love the reality we live in, we like it
because it brings a change - because it makes us learn more
things, brings us more experience, so that we're more
prepared to encounter something similar which would "attack"
us in some way...

now, sometimes the world in which music bring us isn't
pleasant at all. why do we like to, for example, listen to
frightening music, read frightening books, watch frightening
movies?
i think it's for the reason in the second paragraph, and
because of the unwedging between the "fake" world those
stimuli bring us in and the reality we know that the worlds
music bring us in isn't reality, we're still aware that we
are safe and can escape it by pressing the button or closing
the book - but still it can bring us more experience,
through the fake reality it brings... a bit like a
simulator.

don't know if it was already obvious so i would have dashed
through an open door or not, neither if i was understable or
not, sorry... =/

All our sences triggers emotions.
Seeing hearing touching smelling etc...
Music is just sounds like any other really.

It all comes down to personal taste , some people like the
sound of for example a race car and some people don't . Some
people like to take a big bite of a lemon and some people
would never do such a thing .
Same with music , its just a emotion trigger among the rest
.

The strange thing is that certain harmonies produce the same
kind of emotions in all of us , like in a soundtrack to a
horror movie you could never have for example Super Mario
Bros theme or something.
Or maybe you could ? Many horror movies have childish
melodies to produse a scary atmosphere , maybe because when
you where a child you where more likely to get scared of
something then now and your brain asociates certain melodies
with childhood.

Same with action movies.
During an action sequence the music is always a bit faster
and more dynamic so that our pulse raise.

In John Who's "Face Of" theres a action scene wich have
"Somewhere over the rainbow" in the backround.
Its a cool scene and you get the anti violence message but
your pulse doesn't raise at all , no adrenaline flow in your
body .

The Christian answer:

Because of God, now stop asking such trivial questions and
worship Jesus.
