Music stimulates the brain. With that in mind (NPI), I wonder how people experience music, I came up with a few ways:
1. The music makes the listener think about external things or life, meaning the music stimulates the listener to think about these things.
2. The listener tries to always think about what the song is about or means and how it relates to the person that is singing it or wrote it, specially famous artists.
3. The listener enjoys the music for what it is, meaning the great beat, moving strings part, the softness or loudness of it, basically how it all comes together.
