Bespin 8,457 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 In many studies, scientists have found that the pleasurable experience of listening to music releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain important for more tangible pleasures associated with rewards such as food, drugs and sex.

Bofur01 245 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 There's a fair bit of film music that gives me chills. Lots of the obvious parts of LotR, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, CE3K, ET etc, HTTYD, Solo... Most recently, Sometimes Nature's Cruel and Gods Fight, Buck Takes the Lead and Rewilding from Call of the Wild.have all given me chills. Even *imagining* Rewilding gave me chills, which I've never had before... has anyone else had anything similar? Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have similar feeling towards it as you - it's a fantastic cue. Call of the Wild overall is a frequent listen for me, probably more than HTTYD 3 or Solo.

Bespin 8,457 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Nice time of the year to get some extra dopamine by listening to music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anthony 572 Posted April 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2022 I guess I'm a dopamine junkie then. This may be an oversimplification, but one of the main reasons I listen to film (I should probably say "orchestral") music 99% of the time is I find it to be the only form of music capable of giving me chills/goosebumps on demand. No other form of music (not even say electronic film music) has the same effect. Other types of music might be able to elicit that kind of response from me, but it's unpredicable and far less common.

Brundlefly 2,382 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 The exclusion of Hiphop is weird considering how important a genre it is nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
