Can you feel it?

The experience of the human emotion is difficult to put into words. 

What is anger? 

What is sadness? 

What is love? 

Of the many vectors of expression and communication that humans have developed, the most effective and concise concerning emotion is music. Here's why:

1. Emotions are not seen, touched, tasted, or heard. We "feel" emotions. Music is the only form of expression that seems to break free from its most obvious sensory medium and enter into the realm of "feeling." 

2. Emotions are difficult to qualify, at times, due to their abstract and subjective nature. Music, more than spoken or written word or visual art (I believe), is very similar in this regard. One piece of music can evoke similar yet varied emotions to different people.

3. Emotions are not learned or taught. They are innate and essential. Music does not need to be taught to be heard. We begin to hear the moment our sensory organs develop in the womb. If you observe fetal development, you'll find that we hear before we even begin to see. With all of that in mind, music seems to be the most natural method of communication of our innate emotions.
