TV shows and books depend on stimulating us through both logical and emotional pathways. Once we know how a book or show ends, and why, the logical pathway is "satisfied" and cannot be stimulated again in the same way.

Music hits us very hard on primarily emotional pathways. It also leaves the "imagery" component totally up to us for interpretation and re-imagination later on. Over time, our re-interpretations will play off memories made when first hearing an album. Much like a good drug (but without the downsides), this yields incredible playback value! Of course, there are limits :) I think I got 99.9% of all the Led Zeppelin I ever wanted to hear between ages 14 and 15. Thank god because I wouldn't want to have lost my virginity to that shit 😂

@mulveling There's a plausible reason to suggest that most of the regulars on sites like this have never had to worry about losing their virginity....

Our body metabolism and soul are rythms...

We cannot be tired of rythms change because it is life itself...

Even creative thinking is more rythms changes in perception and imagination than mere discursive logic...

Music is akin to poetry and geometry the best way to encode and program rythms if we except the body gestures primal codes...

I am never tired by Bach and Scriabin but for sure i appreciate them more if i change my perspective with jazz or Indian or Persian complete different rythms..

Memory is rythm... Imagination is rythm changing...Perception is a balance between these two...

What is not rythm ? Even colors are an ocean with waves... Numbers are rythms we can feel and rythms we can only imagine in the infinite...

God or the source is a manifested rythm coming from an unmanifested one ... Love is rythm...

I dont know what has no relation to rythm...

The stability and unmoving aspect of this world is the illusion...

Deep sleep is not perceived conscious rythm but it is a rythm anyway...

The battle between light and darkness and their wedding is also rythms...

Rythm is frequency with and in and from a dancing body ...

 

«Shiva or Vénus, nevermind who, she dance»-- Anonymus dance master

 

 

As an aside note, even silence is rythmed and itself rythm our brain...

Rhythm of Silence

 

 

 

 

To conclude with Charles Sanders Peirce , we can say that meaning itself is rythm and begin with the number three... Any sign is also a rythm, the potential presence of other signs...

This is why we cannot be tired of anything perceived  as meaningful...

But if we recognize any objects  from a labelling habit, all rythm are lost, and boredom is born .  Children dont put labels on the world, they play with the rythms...

Scientist observing nature go beyond  consensual accepted labels...

 

‘For me, music begins where words end’. - Jean Sibelius

Pretty much explains it for me, too.

I dont want to contradict the great Sibelius...

But music begun when the body gesture called speech begun.

Speech is a rythmic social coordination and timing of attention through body gestures , it is music...Speech and music are born together like siamese twins. They were chirurgically separated by evolutive history but they always remember  themselves and wish one another as one anew...

And my favorite music is acapela chorus....😁

Once this is said, Sibelius meant that music is beyond prosaic description as Poetry is beyond prosaic meanings ...
