A well-crafted piece of music can bring us to incredible highs and crushing lows, sometimes within the same song. Why does music affect humans this way? Join Chuck, Josh and special guest cellist Ben Sollee as they get to the bottom of music and emotion.
In this fascinating episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive deep into one of humanity's most mysterious abilities - how music and art can unlock powerful emotions and memories in our brains. They explore competing scientific theories about why a simple melody can make us weep or why looking at a painting can transport us back in time, examining everything from brain scans to cross-cultural studies. The guys also welcome back musician Ben Sollee to share insights from the artist's perspective and treat listeners to another live performance.
