@Tucknrollgrampa Try to get drunk. I'm musically trained and i can feel great differences when i'm arriving late at night, my senses are just sharper. Worth a try.I'm not saying to get accustomed to alcohol, but from time to time it's a pleasant thing to experience, to detect things you woldn't otherwise.

@Tucknrollgrampa haha, this'll probably be the hundreth reply you got for this post. Best advice is to just listen to a lot of classical, or abstract music for that matter. IIt's all abstract emotions, not in words, something you have to listen within the melody. It took me a couple weeks, but now I can enjoy classical pieces decently.

@Tucknrollgrampa search youtube for gilels rachmaninoff g minor prelude. If you're not a classical music fan after 60 seconds, you'll never be.

@Tucknrollgrampa I played this in Orchestra last year at college and it was such a powerful piece. Close your eyes and just listen and try to make a story out of it. All music has a plot line behind it is the listeners job to decided what that plot is based on how YOU hear it.

I wish I knew composition and a better trained ear to appreciate more, to truly feel a sense of rapture. As it stands, I can only feel a pleasant tickle when I listen to classical music. :[
