Why don't we tire of music?

Good question.

I remember reading that James Joyce once sought acknowledgent amongst close friends that his famous novel Ulysses was as good as a work of music.

He didn't get it.

What about that Nietzsche quote?

"Without music, life would be a mistake."

It would seem as if there is something almost supernatural about the power of music and it's ability to influence the human mind.

Perhaps it's better if we never find out just what it is?

@quincy , it is instinctive. We are programmed to listen to music for a number of reasons. We do get tired of the same music over and over again. Stimulus variation applies.

I think that it's because every piece that we love gives us a different mental pleasure response, almost like drugs, and therefore, we (like addicts) never get tired of those feelings.

This would be a good threat for the 'Music' topic, as it's got nothing to do with 'analog' per se, and you're liable to get a good many responses there. 

larsman.  Wasn't really sure where to post this question.  My logic told me that analog would work because we are analog beings.  We don't hear music, or anything else for that matter in digital, we hear in analog, actual sound waves.  Hence the post in the analog section.
