So, why does music rely so heavily on repetition? One part of the answer comes from what psychologists call the mere-exposure effect. In short, people tend to prefer things theyve been exposed to before. For example: a song comes on the radio that we dont particularly like. But then we hear the song at the grocery store, at the movie theater and again on the street corner.

Personally I am not a fan of the chorus. and specifically the generic verse-chorus-verse- chorus-bridge-chorus formula of so much music. less is more. love songs with those precious on-off moments, bold changes of tempo and/or moods, highs/lows and to start and end in different places!

Some people say that long ago music and language used to be the same thing and this is why we love repetition - because it enables us to anticipate on the other / our surroundings, it enables us to exchange information and makes us feel connected. Interesting theory right?

Maybe that's why people tell me they feel relaxed and like falling asleep when I play shakuhachi.
Not really a compliment at all.
Instead of being mindful they fall asleep.
Imagine giving a concert and your whole audience starts falling asleep.

The psychology of music is fascinating and potentially lucrative if one exploits the science in composing the music and song.

No wonder the Undertale soundtrack is so appealing. It shoves Hopes and Dreams at you endlessly at every chance it can get.
