Can someone explain to me *why* we can perceive emotion in music? It's all kind of magical to me how music really is a universal language. (Erm, it is, right?) We can all recognise a happy tune, a tense tune, an aggressive one, and perhaps a contemplative or serene tune.
Why is that?
@JordiGH I have a theory that music is actually what humans are built for.
It's what we do that makes us special in the universe and someday, when the aliens get here, we'll be famous for it on an intergalactic scale.
@viTekiM I think language is it! Which might be related to music. Birds seem to have some kind of language/music thing going on, and most humans speak a tonal language!
@JordiGH Would you buy that music is our "real" language? :)
