Music and Happiness

Do you have a favorite kind  or piece of music, composer, song? Classical, jazz, pop, folk... whatever it is, what do you feel when you listen to it? Analyze the emotions that listening evokes in your deeper "self". As to me, the music of Russian composer Tchaikovsky is the epitome of perfection, it expresses a sweet kind of melancholy that makes you willing to be alone and let your mind and heart float into infinity, with no aim, just experiencing and absorbing the beauty of the melody. His music can raise your soul to the highest places imaginable, in a sort of spiritual heaven. I am not an expert, but I know that this music can offer moments of pure bliss. Do you have a piece or a song able to give you a few minutes of happiness? Elation of the spirit cannot be measured. It's the feeling and the emotion that count.
