Because it triggers emotions, and memories linked to those emotions.

I'm not really sure but I have always found it really interesting how one song can pop up on the radio and it can make you want to cry, scream for joy, or just want to rip someones head off. Music is truly of the soul. Music comes from people's hearts and so therefore I guess it just seems to touch other's hearts also. Strange isn't it lol

It is mysterious! Music is the most abstract means of human creation. We cannot see it. We cannot touch it.
Yet, we can feel it, share it, cry with it, shout with it, dance with it, explode with it.
It is a magic, directly linked to our emotions...So mysterious!
Everybody loves music. So mysterious!

It's not just humans.
Several years ago Saturday Night Live had Sinead O'Connor as musical guest.
As soon as she opened her mouth, my German Shepherd started howling as if her world had ended.
