Can someone explain to me *why* we can perceive emotion in music? It's all kind of magical to me how music really is a universal language. (Erm, it is, right?) We can all recognise a happy tune, a tense tune, an aggressive one, and perhaps a contemplative or serene tune.
Why is that?
@JordiGH Music's feel is a cultural construct.

Listen to this song. I don't have the lyrics anymore, but believe me, they're happy, not scary or anything. It's a celebration of a wedding.
