Music, Spirituality

This is the kind of music that always hits me strongest. These tracks that give so much light to the imagination and are immersed in atmosphere. That music can paint pictures with instruments and sound through the air is such comeplete MAGIC to me.
Music, Spirituality
It's no wonder music is so a part of my spirituality. I was amazed and in love with music's paintings since I could understand the concepts. I was listening in the car seeing vast scenarios playing out like it were second nature.
Then you have this special sort of ambient downtempo that is seemingly focused on being atmospheric, and focused on capturing that moment, somehow, through melody and patterning that invokes things as deep as our ancestry.

And why? why does music exist, and has existed for so many millennia. Seemingly, for joy. connection, empathy, emotion.
sorrow. happiness. nostalgia. saudade.
anger, silliness, laughter, celebration.
Sound to heart, bringing emotions, patterns, tone, timber, note, and more sparking associations. the weather, the setting, the emotions. sometimes the serenity.

@Oneironott I think it's because music is one of those things that we as a species had before we had cities and civilizations and in some cases sophisticated language. Music is primal and emotional. It is able to bypass the noisy monkey greymatter and speak to what Neal Stephenson called "the deep structures" of the brain that underlie cognition.
Music, Spirituality
Music is a language that our third eye sees through our hears and translates through our experiences, qualia. Sometimes it's different in big or small ways from person to person, but it flows. it doesn't matter. it celebrates those differences.
