Connecting Through Music

I have been to a few gigs recently and they really got me thinking about connecting through sound. This works on several levels. 

There is the physical connection of two or more people experiencing sound or music simultaneously, whether that be live at a gig or on record. The sound energy is sensed by the body and perceived in the mind, which then causes us to release energy, maybe dancing, singing or just general enjoyment, creating an atmosphere in the room which in turn is also experienced by everyone. So the energy in the room is connecting everyone in it.

Then there is the nostalgic connection between two or more people who have heard a record and each have specific memories and emotions attached to it. If they were to meet they would have that song in common, therefore a connection between them would exist.
