Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do And only so many hours in a day But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you get old You're gonna kick off before you even Get halfway through When will you realize, Vienna waits for you Slow down, you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Tonight, Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong, you know You can't always see when you're right. you're right You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get half through Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? What Getting Chills from Music Says About Your Brain You may have a very special kind of brain if music hits you at the core. Music seems to have a primal hold on us, reaching the very core of what it means to be human and reminding us that we are all small-town girls, living in lonely worlds. And when it finally hits that chorus, you know that you'll never stop believing. We have chills — do you have chills? If so, you might have a very special kind of brain. A Sensory Superpower As it turns out, getting chills from music is not as common as you might think. Researchers from USC released a study that suggests that only about 50 percent of people feel things like shivers, a lump in their throat, and goosebumps when they listen to music. What's more, those people might have very different brains than those who don't experience those feelings. First, they gathered 20 people and had them listen to a selection of their favorite songs. Whenever they felt a chill, they pressed a button. All 20 were then given MRI scans — and the 10 that reported reactions were obvious standouts. Their brains turned out to have a much higher volume of fibers connecting their auditory cortex to the areas that process emotion. More fibers mean that those two areas of the brain can communicate much more effectively. It also means that, because their emotional processing centers are beefier, those people are more able to experience extreme emotions. A Feeling of Frisson This study might shed a light on the causes of the phenomenon, but it's been well documented for years. Actually, it even has a name. The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and it's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since it was first described. That's because even if we know the actual mechanism that causes frisson — a close connection to the emotional processing center — we don't know what purpose it could serve us. But other studies have suggested some potential benefits of this kind of behavior. One report from 2007 found that individuals who experience frisson are more open to new experiences than others, and other studies described higher levels of creativity and intellectual curiosity. In other words, the appreciation of beauty is central to what makes us human, and frisson is just a super-charged version of that appreciation.  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

Music moves and stimulates and enhances. Listening to music is essential to your survival if that is how your life is postured. I need music every day. There are those of us who do.

Interesting. I don't think I'm in the 50%, though. I only get a reaction like those if the song has an emotional meaning for me.

Makes sense. I always knew that some people experience the performing arts more viscerally than others. I know that, even at my age, if I hear the 80s 90s music of The Fleshtones (expecially the live cuts), I cannot stop myself from going nuts and yelling the call-backs back to the band.

I think we like 2 or 4 different style sof music. One of Pink Floyds best albums was dark side of the moon. When I listen to music I try to picture where their hands are on the guitar. Music is a big part of my life and it always will be. The only music that gives me chills, or sometimes nausea is country music and opera. If I had to go to a club where they did karaoke. I'd be in hell. I need high voltage rock n roll. Give me a Flying V, a Gibson SG or a Gretsch any day. A Martin or Taylor might be okay for a little bit of blues, but I get bored with acoustic guitars. I've never fallen asleep with one. On the other hand. I've woken up with an SG more times than I know.
