lyrics

People who are more empathic toward others are also more likely to have more feeling for the emotions communicated in music.

Music has been called a ‘universal language’ – the language of emotion. When listening to music, much like when we listen to a friend who is in despair, angry or elated, some of us seem to pick up on emotions more readily than others. Perhaps these differences are more than just a product of musical taste.

Is the tendency to contemplate and vicariously experience the emotional content of music related to how attuned someone is to other people’s emotions in general. On the surface, music seems to confer no clear evolutionary advantage to those who participate in it.

“The human capacity for music must be ranked amongst the most mysterious with which he is endowed.”

– Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871)
