I listened to music and I'm left with feelings of unknown.?

Question

I listen to trance and sometimes the music invokes feelings in me that I can't explain, there are no official words for these feelings.. Does this happen to anyone else? I used to listen to hiphop, rock, alternative back in school and I didn't even come close to feeling these emotions.

Answer 1

Thats why music exists, to express the inexpressable.

(a famous musician, I can't remember who, in response to a critic who asked him to explain his music said: "if I could have expressed it in words I wouldn't have written the music")

...works for me.

In fact I would even take it one step further, if someone pretends to be able to fully describe music with words and logic then they have missed the point.

Answer 2

You might find Kurt Leland's "Music and the Soul" and David Tame's "The Secret Power of Music" worthwhile, as they explain feelings like yours.

Answer 3

The first time I got drunk, I played the song "Black Hole Sun",  since then, every time I listen to that song, I get the chills. It's all about past experience, and association.

Answer 4

there is no words to express verbally those, not just verbally , also mentally...Only you may recognize and understand that feelings, no one else, although many have similar experiences.Those feelings is not of a Mind, but of Consciousness. Know thyself. Trust yourself.As it had been said; you'll know the Truth and truth will set you free...

Answer 6

Answer 7
