Music Is Comprehended by Your Brain Differently from Movies and Books

Of the various forms of passive entertainment, music is comprehended differently, in such a way that the listener does not get tired of it nearly as easily. Most movies or books can be watched or read several times before you’ve mostly memorized them and they’re no longer particularly interesting, but music can be played hundreds of times, and as long as you don’t play a song or album too many times all in a row without listening to anything else in between, you can still keep listening to it. This is because movies and books are longer and more intricate, and use storytelling devices that often rely on suspense and lack of knowledge of what's to come, whereas music’s value comes from cleverly crafted lyrics and the sound itself, which can remain enjoyable.
