I feel excitement when I hear this song. The words are like a prayer of love, and relationship that brings joy and sadness feelings together. The music and lyrics combination is wonderful and makes me want to hear it again and again.

2. According to paragraphs 1 – 4, cognitive science says we do not simply respond to musical notes. Explain why this is true.
Researches from the past few decades about the cognitive science of music shows that music perception is being shared in a few perceptual areas of the brain, and is not just about earing the notes as they are heard. It is also influenced by the perceptions and the culture of people, where and how they grew up and exposed to music. It's all affecting how each one reacts to it.

3. How does brain imaging explain the theory of "interconnectedness"?
Brain imaging explains this theory by saying that when listening to music the brain turns on a full system/network of vision, motor control, emotion, speech, memory and planning and not just a single section of it. All the aspects of our lives, what we see, hear, expect, and our movement come together to create how we experience music.
