I have never been exposed to ideas put forth by you and others. So I thanks you for making me aware of these things, even though I have never had such things
For me, music has filled many needs over my lifetime. It has been a life long friend. it helped me in the lonely times when growing up as an only child. It helped me forget the weight of the problems I faced and still do face at times. It is one of the few places which I leave the cares of the world behind. I most often think about the beauty of the system. Not the stereo system but the system which holds everything together and how, despite overwhelming odds at times, I have always had everything I needed. I'm often reminded of how God Himself must love music. I say that because The Book of Psalms is the longest in the Bible and perhaps the easiest to find. It is right there in the middle of the Book.
I've laughed at some of the lyrics in blues songs which convey terrible situations in such amusing light. Blues says, " life often sucks but we will go on". It’s the message of life itself. I've cried. at Mozart's Clarinet Concerto at my mother's death. I cried as much at the beauty of the music and an afterlife that she now enjoys as much as I cried at my loss. This is just a few examples of my emotion and the beauty which music brings and life situations it highlights.
Music takes me away from a world which is often highlighted by man's cruel & inhumane treatment of his fellow man. A world which has lost its ability to live & let live & to agree to disagree. A world where you are seemingly forced to take a side because walking independently with your own thought gets you mocked and ridiculed by both sides
As to colors and flowery psychedelic images have never seen this from music alone.
