How do you "affect" the deaf?

David Rose asked me in class, "can you hear the music?" For a second, I was trying to clarify the question. Did he mean could I hear the music? Or did he mean, did I know there was music playing? Or did he mean, was I affected at all by the music?
Maybe he meant to ask all three questions. I answered, "No, but I can feel the music." But wait! Feeling the vibration does not affect me the same way people hear the music. I don't know if the vibration is a happy, scary, or romantic vibration. The interpreters told me what kind of music was playing but it had no emotional affect on me.
I've seen the "Wizard of Oz" so many times and I know the song, "Over the Rainbow" is a wistful song about dreaming of some far off place and it does affect me. Why? Judy Garland's facial expression and the longing look as she gazes out into the horizon. Facial expressions does to me what music does to my hearing peers. (Thanks to David's illustrations of AABA helped me understand the musical interpretation of it).
