There are several possibilities and some of these things have been studied. I don't have any research references but it seems they would be easily found. The word music is extremely broad; there are many musics in the world. Let's narrow things down to music of the western cultures. Most pieces of western music, classical or popular, have a recognizable rhythm. These rhythms might imitate natural rhythms like heartbeat, breathing, ocean waves, laughing, lovemaking or any number of other things. Hearing the rhythms might bring about a change in our natural bodily rhythms to match those in the music. The very act of listening to music (either the music alone or words that accompany it) is a focus of attention. If we're troubled about something, listening helps bring our minds to a different kind of task altogether. We attend to the interplay of different instruments, different lines in the music (not words) harmony, energy level, and so forth. It's even better if we are actively playing the music we are listening to.
There is also the fact (I believe) that music engages some of the same parts of our brains as language. Language processing is very complex, and it involves all kinds of symbolism, logic, structure, syntax and more. So we give ourselves very interesting and sometimes intense non-verbal messages through the 'language' of music. You have probably noticed that (most) piano players will make some distortions with their mouths while they play. This is no accident, and I don't believe it is deliberate either. I think it is in part because of the interplay of music and language, and those parts of the brain are so busy enjoying music that some signals get our language machinery going!
