If music didn't give me pleasure...I wouldn't listen to it.

evocative is a good word......but I think emotive might be better.

Music can stir happy thoughts or console you when you are sad, even when you are depressed you may listen to sad music...which may make you even sadder. But sometimes you just want to dwell in your unhappy thoughts. The song Gloomy Sunday, a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress is said to cause suicides.
