Why do we like listening to music?

Do we listen to music differently in different stages of our lives?  Do we find some songs more gratifying than others in different times in our lives? Why do some songs make us feel good inside and others are just... just alright. Is it the wave frequency or is it that we relate to the lyrics? I, personally, know that I am not drawn to the words, sure it's great when the songs connect to your feelings and thoughts, but that is not my top requirement when choosing which songs I like or I should say which songs pull me in. I don't feel I choose them. They automatically get replayed and eventually given the title (at least in my head if I don't share them with anyone) that this song is goood.  My taste of music is different than what most people around me like.

So its been ages.... Design never seems to disinterest me, no matter what it is. I'm in love with branding, architectural, interior, product, packaging, fashion, accessories, nature.... it's everywhere and its always entertaining to look at. So....today I wanted to share some products I found that are pretty to the eye, that are simply innovative, and even products that are so pretty you get people to buy them because they look nice but won't actually use them.
