Why Do We Like Music?

People love music. Almost everyone has a favorite song, or a reason to listen to music. But why does it satisfy us? When the brain hears music, a special structure in the human brain is released. This structure is called dopamine. Dopamine is usually only released with eating and very addictive drugs. So when you hear a song and you like it, your body is liking it as well (your brain in particular). Even when you hear a song you'e never heard before; if you like it, your brain will release dopamine. Also, when you hear a new song that you like, your brain's memory changes; it adds "space" for you to memorize the song. So, in a way, if you like a new song, your brain already knows you'll listen to it again. This all shows just how amazing God created human beings.

Here are two songs I really like. The one above this is called "You Can't Stop Me" by Andy Mineo and the second one is called "Power Trip" by Lecrae. They're both Christian songs. Enjoy!
