Why music haraam?

Hi! Currently I'm listening to Noh Salleh performing his masterpiece with Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. It brings peace tau in my ears, especially Rahsia Tuhan.

Why Allah jadikan music tu haram ya? I wonder. To me, my perspective in music is I love listening to music that brings me calm. The lyrics need to play an important part, cause I always relate myself to the lyrics. Lagu-lagu noh banyak reflect about love. Either towards our Creator, our spouse, siblings, friends, all kind of love. And they always make me super grateful to have the ability to listen and understand music. Banyak lagi indie band yang buat lagu ketuhanan tau, Fourtwnty, Pusakata etc.

I love listening to music. But after I read somewhere yang music is actually haraam in Islam, it is hard for me to let go of it. I think I will do more research and readings to confirm if it really haraam or only in certain condition.
