I'm going to go WAY out on a limb here and say that it seems to me that people that "think on a higher level" (that's not meant to be insulting, BTW) seem to be more into music. I certainly don't mean those that think mathematically or scientifically - I mean those who just seem to "really get it". Its very hard to describe, but if you "get it" you just do...
I'm really glad to see that I'm not some kook all alone in thinking like this...
I can actually change my moods with music...not just superficially, I mean really change them. Most folks seem to listen to music that describes the mood their in, I listen to music that PUTS me in the mood I WANT to be in. Anyone else do that??

I do both. Sometimes I wish to change my mood, and music does that for me, or sometimes I simply wish to find something that matched the mood I am already in. And I wouldn't say it's people that "think on a higher level". More like, it seems, some people can just think wit their heart and feel with their mind. It's more of a form of empathy, I think, then thought, though some songs are very Intellectual. Saul Williams comes to mind for that one. I like music like that. Makes you think as well as feel.
