Music And It's Affect

I really like music. People have listened to and made music for almost as long as there have been people.

It makes us feel good. I have no idea why. Most everything of our nature has a point, we like fatty foods because they were be a commodity in the past. We like action heroes and romance films because they represent things we want or want to be subconsciously. We desire to sleep, make love and gather together in groups all for explicable reasons.

But music in my mind could serve very little practical biological purpose. Perhaps to drive away predators? But humanity has had no natural predators for so many, many generations that I would think that it should be bred out of us.

But no, it seems that it is an intrinsic part of our nature, that for what ever reason, we will make a noise with a rhythm.

Music can have a profound psychological affect on the listener. Just as you are what you eat, you are your taste in music.

Just a thought. Now, to get back to David Bowie.
