No doubt music has the ability to directly interact with our emotions and drives - like love. I guess that is why so many songs are about love and heartache.

One other ability is the power to unite people. It can be through the lyrics. Like in a protest song. But it can also be in the feeling of unity throughout the music itself.

If you ever have experienced a takeoff in a house or techno club you'll know what I mean. The feeling of the takeoff will occur before the it actually happens. People in the club will start to feel it just before it happens. Together they feel a sense of euphoria raising. It is a great experience if you are into that type of music!

Tnx for the nice post.
