"All melanin’s show a variety of physical properties, like absorption and dissipation of light and sound, binding of metals and organic compounds, storing of liquids and gases, conduction of electrical current and transformation of light into electric energy."
Is the absorbtion of sound by melanin the reason why we "feel" music?

I purposefully made no mention of race. It is a fact that White skinned people have the same amount of neuro-melanin (as opposed to cutaneous melanin) as dark skinned. So when I say "we" feel music. I mean "we" as in people.

You could be on to something; I always wondered why everyone except white people had this kind of like spiritual dance that just moved you through your whole body

No because I'm dark skinned (a lot of melanin) and I've been told all my life that I dance like a white girl (no melanin). On the flip side, Christina Aguilera has more soul in her pinky finger than I have in my entire melanin flavored body!

Might be a lil nature and a lil nurture. There are way too many soulful artists of the lighter persuasion for me to think some melanin in the mix makes all the difference.

Melanin at the epidermal level is the basis for a lot of things, i.e. protected speech, unwarranted claims of racism in regards to personal failure, affirmative action in the hiring of less qualified individuals, acceptance into schools for individuals whose testing does not meet the schools requirements etc. etc.
You "feel" the music because the bass is turned up so loud how could you not "feel" it. The simple beat, lack of vocal or true writing/instrument playing ability intrudes on everyone else in a one-hundred yard radius. I am certain someone with Mozart's, John Lennon's, or Ian Anderson's lack of melanin never felt their music.

So the darker-skinned you are, the more music you absorb into your skin, and so the more you feel music? It's a lovely idea, but I doubt very much if it has any biological reality.
