Is it the feeling of unexplainable unbridled pleasure ?

I am reluctant to call it similar to an orgasm , because of the sexual connotations. While my body does not respond in a way similar to an orgasm, the "dopamine rush" (I am being liberal with the term) I get when listening to certain music is very similar.

I often have raised hair, tears in my eyes and a general lightheadedness and the biggest grin after such a moment.

First time I put it that way. Hoping it doesn't sound too creepy.

Not at all, that's the feeling exactly.
