Can someone explain to me *why* we can perceive emotion in music? It's all kind of magical to me how music really is a universal language. (Erm, it is, right?) We can all recognise a happy tune, a tense tune, an aggressive one, and perhaps a contemplative or serene tune.

Why is that?

@JordiGH There are certain things in music that aren't innate (but instead learned) -- stuff that differs between western & eastern musical traditions, or some things like specific chord progressions that have gained meaning through use in sound tracks since the 1930s. To the extent that it is universal, I've heard people claim is has to do with pre-lingual mammal vocal communication.
