Why We Like Music

Ever considered why we like music? Rob da Bank takes a look at how music affects us emotionally. 

Rob Da Bank has a go at tackling the universal question - why do humans like music? From the effects of rhythm on our brain to why some songs make us laugh and some make us cry.

Rob gets wired up in the name of science, visits a druid in a wood and hears why Radiohead's producer thinks it's all about sex.

A weird and wonderful journey.
