Why does music do this to me?
There I was reading and writing,
The music playing as usual
When suddenly I stopped,
Stopped and was taken away,
Taken away to the world of music.
A piece came on the radio
And transported me to that place,
That place of emotive joy.
I just sat still and listened,
All else was forgotten.
I was in Chopin’s world,
A world of wonderful music
Where peace, love and joy reigned.
The piece finished and I came back,
Came back refreshed,
Refreshed and full of love.

Well, I might be able to tell you why music does that to you, if I could understand an intellectual piece of writing in a book! Something akin to not being able to say 'why' it does that to us, but that music has an effect on our senses; maybe we associate it with past happy memories; it reaching to our subconscious level. There's some possible reasons from what I can understand of what I read.
So true Orchi, music starts after conversation ends.

Listening to it as I type this - great music - I could listen to it all day.
Thank you Michael, I always have music playing in our house, it is wonderful.
Andy
Must be a record, surely ..
Actually it is a CD Neville. LOL.

This asks the ultimate question. I'm not sure you get a good answer. Something to do with dopamine receptors. Who cares music sounds good and that's all that matters. Wonderful poem
It may well be the ultimate question David but music is always in my life. Thank you.
Andy
I do wish you wouldn't ask so many questions, Andy...😊👍
Well I am still learning Dave. 😀🤣😂

Ah, that music! That Chopin that my dad used to play. I wouldn’t even nerve up to appear but listened from another unseen place, like eavesdropping into his world. Good stuff!
So glad you were listening arqios, your dad probably knew and would be proud of you. Thank you.
Andy
He probably was! I favoured Bach more but Chopin is also on the top tier.
Music does many things and it does refresh the soul nicely written Andy
It certainly does soren, thank you.
Andy
Good write, Andy.

Andy
Excellent write Andy
Most kind Tony, thank you.

You're welcome
A simple note can trigger the memories and moments from the past, without music we'd all be dead. 🌹
So very true Teddy but I know when I am dead I will meet up with my dad and we will be together listening to Mozart.
