This is really turning out to be a good thread...the more people that stop in, the more it seems that we've stumbled onto a commanlity among TFPers.
Believe it or not, there are just a lot of people that seem to be completely desensitized to music. They seem to be just too caught up in "everyday life" to appreciate the emotions that music can elicit or amplify. Seems to be a common perception here...
I especially like what ishkeb started -

Taking the obvious "storyline" or lyrics out of the equation, that's a really interesting question...why DOES a piece of music seem to elicit a certain mood based on the sound, key, chords, scale, etc??
