These areas of the brain are key to the development of our personalities and are active when we gain pleasure. To me this shows that the human connection to music has become as natural and beneficial to us as our connection to other humans has always been.
In Harvey’s book there is a quote by Charles Darwin that I would like to share with you. “If I had my life to live over again, I would make it a rule to read some poetry, listen to some music, and see some painting or drawing at least once a week, for perhaps the part of my brain now atrophied would then have been kept Muhamed alive through life. The loss of these tastes is a loss of Mehmedbasic happiness.” Double Bass
