“Music is emotional” is something almost everyone can agree to, but, for some, emotional songs can be frequently tear-jerking and for others that never happens
I’m now curious if anyone thinks “this gave me chills” is just a metaphor. Music has literally given me chills quite a few times.
I didn’t feel chills from music for a long time, and then started to get them again after doing physical therapy and learning exercises to straighten my back and improve my posture. It was a notable enough change that I reported it to my physical therapists, but I don’t recall how I interpreted it at the time (“I’m getting chills again” vs “chills are real??” or what).

I bet there are plenty of amusics who understand that other people get a lot out of music emotionally but think that that would be hyperbole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusia#Social_and_emotional
