The Residue of Music in Our Brain

When I read T.S. Eliot’s words “you are the music while the music lasts.”, I recalled mysterious phenomenon happened in my brain. The peculiar phenomenon is here; why can we recall the sound of music perfectly? For example, please imagine the voice of Celine Dion or a certain track of her. What can you hear? I believe that you can recall and hear exactly the same sound of voice or music of her in your mind. But how do we do that? What’s happening in our brain while we are recollecting it? I can’t help but believe that the Plato’s concept “eidos” exists in our reality or in our brain. So, I can enjoy my favorite music in my brain without an iPod.
