Music is like art, but using the sense of hearing rather than vision.

Music expresses my thoughts and feelings in a way that nothing else can. Every song I like rather it is vocal or instrumental is something I can relate to emotionally.

Not everyone likes music

Not everyone likes all kinds of music

Music drowns out internal dialogue

I think a large part of it has to do with the importance of dancing, which is closely linked to courtship and therefore reproduction.

I used to not really care about music until I got older.

The story, 'The Scientific Mystery of Why Humans Love Music' is quite telling as to why we like music:
