That's because you're not making art with that light. If you were, you 
might think of it very differently. If music is wallpaper for you, then 
a more in-depth analysis and a deeper listening based on its history and 
technique would be the farthest thing from your mind. You probably just 
want a mood, or want to party. I find this "musical wallpaper" attitude 
to be most associated with pop and club music, where the sound is meant 
as a kind of background environment, and often doesn't really reward a 
deeper listening.
