How good it feels when you are listening to your favourite piece of music and you can point out/ predict the minutest change in rhythm. For me, music has been an ultimate bank of emotions where one could find, overwhelmed and subtle, expressive and deadpan emotions. It is like a time Machine which once opened will fill you with all the emotions you once felt when you heard that song, you might not remember the context itself, but the music would remind you of all the things you experienced that time. It might be a visit to your hometown, a teary goodbye, or even the sight of your crush. It is, in fact, amusing how a simple set of sounds tactfully spaced can bring about a stream of memories you might have consciously, or subconsciously , pushed to the back of your mind. Somehow it envelopes you in its soulful beauty and induces different emotions in different people.Some People may feel more energetic and inspired while the others could get completely lowdown, some might even completely stop listening to that particular song or artists if it reminds them of something they can't let go of. I think, it is not the content of the song, but the sound of it that brings about the innermost memories in people. It is the music that lulls you into its own world which somehow is entwined with your own. It is the rhythm of beats which resonates with that of your own soul and makes you feel in harmony with your own self. Music is a pathway to your soul, or has it always been there?
I agree with this. I have experienced it. Music does actually remind me of different events in the past.
