Am I defective?

I took organ lessons in the late 50s on my Dad’s Hammond C3 with Leslie. Got as far as a rudimentary version of William Tell Overture.

I have been watching music reviews on YouTube. Doing the reviews are regular folks, vocal coaches, musicians, professionals, etc.

Artists reviewed are Phil Collins, Disturbed, Zep, many drummers and guitar players, etc.

Many of the reviewers are moved to tears. I swear at least one female reviewer is close to orgasm.

While I appreciate the music it does not affect me any way near to how the reviewers are affected.

Is it me?

She came for a visit & we ask her to sing. She went to the far corner of our living room & cut loose with a voice that brought tears to my eyes. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced.

I think it is a blessing. To be "moved to great lengths" (tears, joy, sadness, bliss) IMO makes us more engaged humans. If you keep an open mind, these things will find you. Don't go looking for them.
