FOR THOSE OF US THAT LOVE MUSIC: Please read this and know why you are part of a very Special Breed of People: Enjoy 

We all react to music differently. For some, it’s a soothing wave, a blanket that mellows us out. For others, it’s a cathartic thing, a way to shake off the shackles of everyday life. A small portion of those might even see a physical reaction to their favorite songs in the form of goosebumps

Turns out that those goosebumps can actually tell you something about the structure of your brain. A study by USC PhD student Matthew Sachs, published in Oxford Academic, argues that those who get chills from music have structural differences in the brain. What this means, as explained by Neuroscience, is that these individuals “have a higher volume of fibers that connect their auditory cortex to the areas associated with emotional processing, which means the two areas communicate better.” Basically, you’re subject a wider, richer range of emotions.
