Can you ‘feel’ the music? You’re probably an empathetic person

[Analogous]

Research on the link between music and empathy has yielded some intriguing insights: for instance, studies indicate that people who self-report high levels of empathic concern for others – that is, they say they tend to strongly care about other people’s feelings – also tend to experience heightened emotional reactivity to music, especially sad music.

Can you ‘feel’ the music? You’re probably an empathetic person | Psyche Ideas

People who are more empathic toward others are also more likely to have more feeling for the emotions communicated in music

But obvious, isn’t it? I’d like to separate the lyrics from the music here. What I’d look for is the emotion the music produces in me, even if I don’t listen to the words. That’s when I’d consider the musician has succeeded in conveying the emotional content to me through music. It of course needs the musician to be congruent and empathetic him/herself to write that kind of music and then skilled enough to play it to produce the effect. The rockers did it with the emotion of ‘angst‘ back in the 70s. Good Indian Raga music achieves it across the navrasas even through instrumental tracks. In Marathi there’s an entire genre - BhavGeet that is based in emotional content. (Those curious can try listening to any of Shrinivas Khale’s songs - he composed music that brought out the emotional content in each line, rather each word and was revered even by the Mangeshkars). Ghazals and old Hindi songs fall into same category.

But emotional effect isn’t all that makes music music. This is where I disagree with the article when it says, ‘This suggests that music-listening and self-reported empathic processes might share similar circuitry in the brain.’ There‘s also a part of the music-listening which is aesthetic appreciation. It relates to the mathematical beauty of music - embedded in the proportions, sequences and rhythms. A lot of Jazz music exemplifies this. I don’t understand brain structure/processes, but I’d daresay it’s not done by the same part of the brain circuitry that processes empathy.

Empathy is not the same as sympathy. I cant say if the 'research' is true but I have empathy but not sympathy and I connect with music very well. Music soothes my mood. Can't say I care for sad music but I do listen to music for music,tone and peoples voice, I dont care about the words

This may help clarify the direction of the research being done. I am sure MRI studies will follow soon.

Being Moved by Unfamiliar Sad Music Is Associated with High Empathy

The paradox of enjoying listening to music that evokes sadness is yet to be fully understood. Unlike prior studies that have explored potential explanations related to lyrics, memories, and mood regulation, we investigated the types of emotions induced by unfamiliar, instrumental sad music, and...
