Music is rightfully considered to be a universal human language, as it is profoundly able to cut across time and borders. But while music has the ability to bring forward deep emotions that would usually lie dormant, it has the same effect on our memories. Without any effort, music can not only help us recall stored memories, but can also help us create new ones.
How does it do this? And why do we have no control over it? Click through this gallery to see why our minds become so pliant under music’s sweet tune.
