My eyes are closed. I can feel my heartbeat in my ears, beating in time to the bass drum. Is this a spiritual experience? I stand in the crowd, surrounded by hundred of people feeling the same vivid emotions as I do. The music is what connects me to these strangers. It’s the common thread running from my veins into theirs. We’re all having a life changing experience, right there in that small music venue. But for the band on stage, it’s just another night on tour, going through the motions, playing songs they wrote years ago. And yet, my heart is telling me one thing: This is what I want to be someday. I want to change people’s lives. I want influence the dreams of individuals everywhere, just like those musicians who have influenced my dreams.

Music is a very powerful expression of emotions that come together as a whole to morph your psychological feelings into a sub-reality vision. Over the many years, history has been able to capture the moments at which music has made an impact on human lives. We can start with Manu Chao the artist that sings about left-wing messages and portrays his concerts as “collective therapy”. Or Juan Gabriel the young man that rose out of poverty to become the world’s most beloved artist/songwriter and whose music carried a resonate flamboyant style. Music is a way of communication that is used in many realms such as entertainment, tradition religion and sporting events. So far this semester, Chic 316 has influenced me to seek a more coherent relationship

Music is an everyday occurrence for most people. In some way, shape and form, people listen to music. For Christians, specially those at bible college, this can be in chapel day to day. For others it may be in a car or even in the workplace, which can be the case for Christians also. Music for me is an everyday occurrence, not only in chapel but also in other places such as my dorm room and when I get ready for sports.

This essay is separated into four parts by the approach used to analyze the music preformed by Paul Brandt on April 5th, 2017 as part of a religious studies course focusing on religion and music at the University of Calgary, RELS373. Scott provides a standard of music’s role in cultures, explained in lecture, culture is seen as a product of religion, geographic location, and language. The phenomenon of a spiritual experience due to music is explained through the perception of William James. The metaphysical nature of music is analyzed philosophically, from the point of view of Rudolph Otto. The experience of praise (to God) is analyzed with a doxological approach through the lenses of James Frazer and Dietterich.

Certain songs resonate deep down within one’s soul. The reason may not seem clear, but particular songs cause an effect on a person when they are heard. Many songs cause this reaction, and even though a person cannot quite put his or her finger on the how and why, a person experiences this forever. A song can achieve incredible things. Whether the song lifts someone’s spirits, transports their mind to a time and place long since passed, or breaks their hearts, music is a constant. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” may have been overshadowed by the band’s songs “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama”, but “Simple Man” takes a person back to their childhood, evokes hope, and reminds people that the things needed in life remain simple

“Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your life or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment” –Sarah Dessen. (Goodreads) Everyone has a go to song for every emotion, memory, and expression that they feel. If you could compose a soundtrack for my life it would consists of these four songs; “Ghost Riders in the Sky,” ”Teenage Dream,” “Heaven,” and “Laughed until We Cried”. Time flies, but when you listen to a particular song, you relive those days all over again.

When man dwells within the musical element, he lives in a reflection of his spiritual home. In this shadow image of the spiritual, the human soul finds its highest exaltation, the most intimate connection with the primeval element of man. This is why even the most humble soul is so deeply affected by music. The most humble soul feels in music an echo of what it has experienced in Devachan. The soul feels at home there. Each time he listens to music man senses, “Yes, I am from another

A sneak view of the key themes elicited musically is spiritualism, morality, and feminism (Adamscovell 2). The clearest theme illustrated musically is religion: a spiritual dispensation that plays the largest role depicting the interrelationship between the contemporary secular life and the spiritual realms (Limpscomb 22). From the onset of the movie, the accompanying music hints a theology-based motive of the character’s personality. The seductive moves depicted by the priest towards her

John Coltrane is considered one of the most important figures in jazz, alongside other greats such as Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Coltrane struggled with drug addiction early on in his career, but during the late 1950’s he was able to get through it. I chose John Coltrane because I consider myself a fairly religious person, Coltrane himself was a religious person who wanted to bring positivity to people through his music. Arguably Coltrane’s most globally acclaimed record, “A Love Supreme,” was greatly influenced by his devotion and love for God. This record shows just how much influence Coltrane’s religious awakening had on his musical creations. I want to learn more about John Coltrane and how his own religious experiences shaped his

In this video, Ben Stuart discusses Psalm 1; he touches on a few different aspects of spirituality, using metaphors, stories, and examples to aid him in getting his point across. To begin the presentation, he brings up music: how it is a powerful force, how it can cause individuals to think, and how it is able to invoke emotion. He continues on, claiming that music is the “most natural medium to give expression to even the most profound human emotions”. After explaining why the book of Psalm is written as music--it allows us to properly display and share our feelings with God--he discusses that music is influential to our thoughts, therefore shaping what we care about, furthermore affecting what we chase. He later directly addresses Psalm

Like Trinity, many evangelical groups such as CCM use their music as a form of ministry. Although the music found in CCM contained many secular styles and genres, CCM did not define themselves as “secular,” but as having a place “in” the secular music market as a way to minister and attract non-Christians. The way that they approached the balance of sacred and secular was through the lyrics of their songs. Although the music style would tend to be oriented toward the secular, the lyrics would remain sacred and focus on proclaiming the message of Christ. In addition to this, churches may use CCM music or more secular music within their service because of its teaching qualities as it is typically easier for the congregation pick up, learn, and join in (Vega 369). During this same time, sacred music also crossed into the secular music industry as seen by Elvis Presley and Little Richard using their church background in their own musical career. As a result, Even though there are still critics who believe that CCM’s use of secular and popular genres may hinder the worship and Christian experience, CCM is a clear example of the how secular music found in sacred and religious music can be used as a form of evangelism as well as demonstrates crossing of both the cultural and musical worlds.

Music is indubitably a formidable force. It has the capability to shape an individual’s perspective on the world. My father is a music aficionado, and the predominant reason I was acquainted with the paradise of music. I used to stare at his gargantuan wall of CDs for hours marveling at the unique splendor of each album cover. Only a select few songs out of the millions on that wall were magnificent enough to change my life. Once in a blue moon, I stumble upon a song that is so profound and liberating, it captivates me as I listen and brings new insights to my life. One song, which reached immediate success upon its release in 1977, would later change my life. Listening to the song I am so fervent about, “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac, helped me to develop my musical taste through its eloquent lyrics, an upbeat melody, and the passionate performance of the song.

music, language, architecture, etc) are temporal, and therefore, short-lived and disposable. As such, music in particular must be subjected to constant change and revision. It, therefore, can never be planned based on personal preference or the religious conditioning or experience of any group within the Church. Pastors, in selecting music, must never defer to hedonism’s central question (i.e. What feels good?....What is familiar?). Pastors must never allow assemblies to worship according to Epicurean self-gratifying pleasure principles which produce a quasi-comfort for a select few at the expense of the masses whom the worshipping church is responsible
