Thank you.
Funny since a good portion of my life was spent destroying.
Now I attempt to create and fill the voids back in the world.
As a Scorpio, it is what I do.
I often see wonder in the simplest of things, so much so, that, even that which lies in arms reach, would take me several lifetimes to only start to comprehend. When out and about just seeing a simple smile, warms my very soul.
Coincidentally, we were listening to a KB track last night, just her without any instruments, singing ‘My Lagan Love.’ Now that was spiritual.
Yes it’s lovely that one - ‘Under the ivy’ another favourite, and side two of the Hounds of Love album. Inspiring, uplifting magic.
I agree so much.
No GOD or GODS in my world, allthough I’ve written music for our church...
I mean it’s wonderful sacral music out there, Mozart’s requiem is fantastic
However, my 4 years of studying particle physics has had a profound impact on my music.
Nice thread @RUST( i )K
I would love to get my hands on some solo vocal tracks from Cocteau Twins stuff, I popped into this thread to say something similar about her voice. I read she is often referred to as 'the voice of god'. Hope Sandovals and Kim Deals voices have a similar effect on me at times.
Years ago I went to a yoga class on a whim, was extremely out of shape with zero balance and hated every second of it but felt it would be rude to just leave halfway through. During the relaxation part, they turned off all the lights and the teacher started playing a gong. In that moment I realised the power of sound! Left that class feeling transformed.
It's a shame that the intense effect doesn't translate on a recording and would love to install a huge gong here but don't think my neighbors would approve! I do finally have a few of them on my iPad now thanks to the Orchestral Percussion pack that UVI released for BeatHawk recently.
My lyrics are often about god and the divine nature of everything. Music is my favorite piece of this whole beautiful universe, and I make music for Music's sake.
Interesting to read how music ‘speaks’ to some contributors, in a way that lyrics don’t.
For me, being a lyricist who dabbles with music, it’s the other way around.
The lyric tells the story. For sure, there is instrumental only music that stirs imagination and emotions, but one without the other is like fish without chips.
Imagine ‘Stairway to Heaven’ or ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ or ‘Layla’ as separate music and poetry. Individually they are all great, but together there is a special magic.
There is just us making and listening to music. There is no god and no evidence whatsoever that one exists. No heaven. No hell. No afterlife. Just us and music.

Music, for me, is the one true universal religion. A faith that asks of its followers just one thing: listen. Some may argue that the gift of music comes from God, and there is no evidence to disprove that.
We do have abundant anecdotal evidence of something intruding from what science now speaks of as possible alternate dimensions. Such things are responsible for all our legends of gods and the suernatural, and since music was first made, have been a source of inspiration.
Forgot to mention that I read somewhere that music itself started as an actual spiritual expression:)
I may have misread.
NO God or Gods.
Our church.......
Help me out here........
Thank you
Seriously
I find this type of stuff fascinating, proper old school!
"An effectively random selection of megalithic chambered sites in England and Ireland were tested for their natural (primary) resonant frequencies, with only the great chambered passage-mound of Newgrange in Ireland being pre-selected due to the need for special permission. The findings surprised the ICRL researchers: all the investigated chambers were found to have a natural primary resonance frequency in the 95-120 Hertz band, with most at 110-112 Hz – this despite variations in sizes and shapes of the chambers. There was even some evidence of “retro-fitting”, as if internal features within the chambers had been placed to “tune” the natural resonance to the required frequency. The great chamber of Newgrange resonates effectively at 110 Hz, and the 19m (62-foot) passage behaves like a wind instrument, with sound waves generated within the chamber filling it, their amplitude decreasing towards the entrance.
The 110 Hz frequency is in the baritone range – the second lowest level of the male singing voice. It is therefore possible to speculate that chanting male voices could have been used in these supposed tombs for the silent dead. This could have been on ritual occasions, or for oracular purposes, in either case most probably at those times of year marked by the entrance of sunbeams into the chambers, for these sites are astronomically aligned – at the 5000-year-old Newgrange, for instance, the beams of the rising midwinter sun shine through a special roof box above the passage entrance, down the long passage and into the central chamber, making the stones there glow like living gold."

I'm really proud of everyone here for having what could be an awful mess of a conversation but so far has been really chill and reasonable. Good job everyone. I'd like to see more of this attitude in the world. Turns out it's pretty easy to just openly talk and not have a senseless argument about something that's really just a personal aesthetic
Sorry
I meant to say, I’m not religious, but I have written music for our local church.
Right now I’m working on choir arrangements for the church Christmas concert.
I try to respect the views of others, an have adopted musical pragmatism.
And I just can’t deny that the sound of a well played church organ, moves certain biological parts inside me.
Tear canals we’ll up, heart is beating heavier, shivers running down my spine.
For me that is being human.

That is because everyone contributing so far is reasonable, and fair. We can all have very different ideas, yet share the common language of music making.
ISTM that threads with the potential for unpleasantness only go down hill when someone chooses to sling in a verbal hand-grenade, because they are unable to articulate their view, or just to troll.
It is very nice to see a constructive mutually respectful thread meander on so well. Good work, people!
No doubt.
I am big science person. Facts, all that.
However, I still embrace my primitive components at times with hopes of an afterlife and other other worldly exploits.
Everything note I play and every song I write is inspired and dedicated to our lord and savior . . . Satan.
I’m just a cell based organic animal, trying to cope with the pain of being born. Sorry, too much Schopenhauer
Of course. May I perhaps give you some wise words from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s FAUST?
“Ich bin der Geist der stets verneint! Und das mit Recht; denn alles, was entsteht, ist wert, dass es zugrunde geht.”
You just can’t translate poetry like this. I learned german just to read it. Took me 3 years.
Comment when you have laid a bit more effort the into understanding the topic.
Here’s a good one:
“God help us -- for art is long, and life so short.”
Goethe - Faust
Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster. -Fred
"This isn't flying, this is falling with style." -Buzz
Sorry to be redundant but I'm amazed at the course of this thread.
Interesting and instructive. Religion/faith for many of us is no longer the argument. We are tolerant of each other, curious even. I understand that that is not true everywhere and for everyone, but it is here. Good. Politics on the other hand we often struggle to find common ground over. To share dialogue. And thus -here- it is best left unsaid
Totally agree @Panthemusicalgoat I said in my post early in the thread I hoped & thought we all could have the discussion without it turning ugly and it is cool to see it was kept civil and actually incredibly respectful & deep....
...where was I? LOL
@ipadthai I love it. To me it’s very much like Lennon’s “Whatever Gets You Through The Night”, even if I disagree with the dogma of someone’s faith if it helps them gain some comfort & sanity in this crazy world then I support it. It’s like the ridiculous censorship of albums & TV: you don’t like it change the channel. Live and let live.
