Music allows us to experience aesthetic pleasure in a way that literature or visual art really cannot: it gives us aesthetic pleasure through sound. True, some visual art can do this, but not to the full extent that music can. Music allows us to feel the direction that the song is going it, for in hearing the music, we feel it. Haven't you ever gotten shivers from a certain song or a certain part of a song? Not to mention sometimes you can feel a real low, bass-filled part of a song no matter what the genre. Music is not only a medium you can hear, but also feel.
Music allows your imagination to take over, which other mediums cannot. Especially when it comes to instrumental songs, the mind can do with the songs in terms of interpretation or visualization or what have you however it pleases. That is one of the beauties of music, for music provokes in us many different feelings all at once, and in a way can do more than other other medium of art.
