Is it normal to get goosebumps When listening to music?
Music can send chills up some people’s spines and give them goosebumps. According to new research, this could mean they experience more intense emotions. Goosebumps are actually part of our fight or flight response. It could be linked to our brains releasing dopamine, a reward hormone
The limbic system, which is involved in processing emotions and controlling memory, “lights” up when our ears perceive music. The chills you feel when you hear a particularly moving piece of music may be the result of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that triggers sensations of pleasure and well-being

The limbic system is the part of the brain involved in our behavioural and emotional responses, especially when it comes to behaviours we need for survival: feeding, reproduction and caring for our young, and fight or flight responses.
