The body mirrors it as emotion but I would name it something else if I could find a word for it." was, "Perhaps the word is simply FEELING." Then I see Monique's comment starts with : "Describing the feeling of listening to music..." To me, it's both a physical and an intellectual experience, therefore feeling which is both physical and mental seems appropriate whereas emotion which is more exclusively mental seems more restrictive. I know that the words feeling and emotion are considered synonomous but in fact, in their nuances they are not.

OF all the arts, it may be the one I find most easily reaches in to us. Hearing poetry read aloud can sometimes produce similar feelings in me. But music is somehow... special in this way.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736499939969754097noreply@blogger.com
