Why do we get goosebumps when we hear a good song that means something to us?
In: Biology
When we had hair covering our bodies it would stand on end when we sensed a change in our surroundings as a defense mechanism to make us appear larger (many animals have this ability). When we hear a really good song that moves us emotionally it triggers the feeling that something has changed in our surroundings. The goosebumps are our hair standing on end (if we still had hair) in reaction to the sudden change.
