Music: Spiritual Effects of Rock/Metal Music

[Lighthead]

 The only music that doesn't have any value to me is pop (mainstream and country) music—it's too shallow.  I listen to whatever I'm drawn to at the moment, and just go with it. 

Could I tempt you into re-evaluating your assessment of mainstream pop? These 2 pop songs, if you listen to the message are appealing to the masses to believe in themselves, offering faith and inspiration

Excerpt: "All we're looking for is love and a little light"



And this one from Aloe Blacc, titled "Wake Me Up"! In a contemporary acoustic/country style.

Excerpt: "Life's a game made for everyone, and love is the prize."

C'mon Diana, shake that booty! 

That song is actually better than most pop songs. Just a side note: The video seems to have some MK-ULTRA themes, as a lot of videos nowadays seem to have.

But I can relate to not liking pop music. For me the majority of a song's appeal is the way it sounds. And pop and country songs, while the lyrics may be deep, the way the actual music sounds to the ear doesn't resonate on a very deep level with me. My favorite music mostly doesn't even have lyrics (just straight up electronic music), so if the music itself sounds "shallow" then you lost me with the majority of it. My ear really is geared to deciphering just the way the sound feels to the ear. It might also help that I'm into actually making music from time to time.
