Has anyone experienced a (positive) shift in how you experience music?

I haven't heard this from very many, if any, other people. Since I started HRT and transitioning my experience with music has really drastically changed. It is kind of hard to describe this change, I would equate it to seeing and color when I used to see in black and white. Before I would listen to the beat and I love the beat of a song or the specific instruments that were played. Sometimes I would think about the words and what was being said but not often about the meaning behind them. I definitely didn't have any real emotional connection to any song. Maybe some nostalgia at best. I couldn't dance I couldn't move my body to the music I didn't even know how. But now holy crap, I can't believe the difference. I hear the music like I've never heard it before. It makes me feel so good, it makes me cry so much. My body moves on its own, I don't need to think about it. It is one of the most amazing things I have experienced with my transition. Has anyone else experienced this too?
