Humans and Music

Why is music so pleasing to humans? Almost any person you find will have some sort of music they enjoy. Is it the varying tones? The solid beat syncing with your own pulse? The memorys of first hearing the song and what was going on during that time? What music or lyrics stand for? It boggles me.

I think I enjoy music because it triggers my imagination. As I listen to music, I develop ideas, movies, images, animations in my mind. I also like how predictable it is sometimes. In music you can feel the changes coming before they do, you can predict melodies in advance.

Overall though I can't explain why I or so anyone else enjoys music so much. In reality isn't it only a combination of certain sounds in a rhythum? It just makes me feel like at ease and happy, content. And I have no way to explain it. Does anyone?
