This is quite fascinating. Would love to hear more. Have you ever enjoyed any music whatsoever? What about movies? Reading fiction? Looking at art / photography?
I’ve never enjoyed any music. I do enjoy movies, reading fiction, creating and looking at art, etc.

Deaf people can feel the music at various degrees. Some deaf people even quite famously were composers themselves. Also, not liking music doesn't mean you don't feel anything. And lastly, some people indeed have an inability of feeling but that typically extends beyond the realm of music, so it does not remove anything from the statement of the author.
I have musical anhedonia. Music does absolutely nothing for me. No emotional response at all. In my 50+ years of life I have never heard a single piece of music that gives me the chills, unless by that phrase we mean that all the music leaves me cold. But, to the best of my knowledge this doesn’t extend beyond the realm of music for me. Though, on other odd thing about me is that I do not dream at night. At least, I’…
I do however dream at night 10-12 dreams a night.

If you have resources to share beyond your own experience, they'd be welcome.

The anticipation of the climax of this songs give me chills that go way beyond what an orgasm feels like.

Thank you a lot! I've been experiencing this since I was a kid. Specially in orquestral soundtracks like "The breaking of the fellowship" but also in electronic music like "Ode to joy" from Savant or "Herz an herz" from Blümchen. The anticipation of the climax of this songs give me chills that go way beyond what an orgasm feels like.
