Have you ever wondered about the puzzling relationship between music and a typical human mind? I am sure you must have because music is such an inseparable thing in a human life. At least I have; a lot.
No matter how much I try, I have not been able to figure out the answer to why almost every human being in the world loves some or the other form of music. I know you can come up with a lot of exceptions but I am pretty sure they will constitute an ignorably small percentage of music lovers.
I have not read a lot about the workings of human brain but as far as I remember there are some kind of waves (alpha, beta, gamma etc) which our brain emits or responds to. Sometimes I think there is a strong correlation between these brain waves and the waves which make music or come out of it. But I haven't found any literature on that.
Sometimes I think that it is just our environment which makes everybody interested in music. Today we can see music everywhere. A child grows up in the sea of music. There is no way he can remain unaffected by this(leave extreme cases out). So may be it is the social circumstantial conditions which make music so popular.
I can't think of any other plausible reason and I don't know if the reasons stated above are correct or not. Any suggestions??
