I LOVE music. One of my highest joys It's pure magic yes? What kinds of music do you prefer?
Music takes me places, opens portals, brings deep joy and majesty and power. Music is a vibration laden permission slip for me to shift out of an non-preferred state. Works for me!
So, there's this song called 'Meeting of the Spirits' by Mahavishnu Orchestra that I began listening to the 70's that for me has so much power and spiritual fire that when I hear it, the vibration wells beyond my form into the universe and beyond. I can imagine an ET friend hearing it and wonder intently what his sense of it would be. I'd do Bach Brandenburg Concerto #5 next. some Pat Metheny Group...I wonder who or whatever would receive such a tonal fire dripping sonic prayer as I beam it out. I think about the vast assortment of ET musical culture there must be. I'd love to be an ambassador of musical exchange... just imagine. My curated music collection might even see the light of day.
I like all kinds of music and I realize just how subjective musical taste can be. That which resonates with my vibration the most may be different for another and I rejoice in the diversity and expansion of all musical styles.
Music is an expression of who we are and the wonder cannot be overstated.
Sharing another favourite instrumental of mine. This is an instrumental version of an OST from a kdrama called Imitation

Sometimes I need to stop and just sink into the beauty.
If you wish, enter another reality and rock out Indian style.
Namaste beautiful souls ๐๐ค
Sharing two more favourites. Well the first one, Twilight Overture, is not that much favourite. I just love it because of my favourite part that stars after 1 minutes and 41 seconds - Bella's Lullaby ๐ I just love how Bella's Lullaby was used in Twilight Overture.
Happy weekend, peace and love ๐
One more sister starseed :-)
She transitioned young, but left timeless legacy...Some of you may know her from "Come Undone" performance with Duran Duran.
I was thinking of this Plan
Of codes and anagrams divine
The juxtaposition of past and present time
That was mine
I spent blind
In someone else's state of mind
I lost my way
In all the shades of gray
And grandes of shade
Shadows put away to be forgotten
I lost my way
In all the shades of gray
And grades of shade
Shadows put away to be forgotten
I lost but didn't lose the lesson
Yes I'm
Learning from falling
I'm learning from falling down
Hard
Lessons
Yes I'm
Learning, learning from falling
I'm learning from falling
Down heavily
Here is one more pure piece of art! Enjoy :-)
Ps: I consider myself very lucky having an opportunity to listen to this lady performing live in my hometown a few years ago. Incredible musician!
Have I mentioned that I love jazz? Can you feel the joy?
I always felt that Duft Punk are aliens, possible flavor of Essasani. And then their last album, a pure musical masterpiece "Random Access Memories" revealed many things. At least to me. So, I kind of felt like posting this starseed song from this starseed album :-)
"
We've come too far
To give up who we are
So let's raise the bar
And our cups to the stars๐
An interesting (and one of my very fav) composers is Alexandr Scriabin. His music seeks for ecstatic experience, how he described it himself. Really wonderful stuff and definitely unique for his time and times after.
Also worth noting is his โspiritual journeyโ. In the midst of his life he got really interested in these aspects of experience. At some point planned to create a multisensoric monumental piece that would take place somewhere in himalayas and culminate with entering into the โnew worldโ. He even made some fascinating sketches about this. Sadly, the piece itself never was concluded because of his sudden death.
The further in his life the more his music becomes โhis ownโ in this aspect.
For a quick taste I recommend the 5th piano sonata - and then to try his later music - 10th piano sonata and famous โvers la flammeโ.
Oh our little Starseeds...Guys, if you haven't discovered Glass Beam so far, it's about time! :-)))))
One of my dear dear audio visual experiences :-))) I also love he is performing and levitating with his daughter

The beautiful droning in the back, the incredible arrangement and songwriting, the dreamlike and ethereal vocals. How the background drone oscillates against the vocals with the drums and bass leading, and the guitar going underneath. The groove. Just how layered it is, how focusing on one instrument is its own rich experience. The off-color beauty of the song's sound. So, so incredibly musically satisfying.
I know it might not immediately appear this way to others because of its sound and the nature of its lyrics, but I process this song as very loving and powerful. I love how challenging experiences can be lifted into sublime and incredibly creative expressions of the self through art.
Also, I really love about the vocals that they add this multidimensional quality, where they're able to be heard in many different ways. This has been true of so many songs I loveโopenness to personal interpretation is one of my favorite things about art.
I didn't look up the official lyrics until later on, and because they're so vague sounding, I would hear the same parts as different lyrics from listen to listen that gave a different meaning and emotion to the sound each time. So this song is really many different songs in one to me. It feels prismatic and expansive.
Without a doubt, the last two minutes of the song are my favorite. Incredible melancholy beauty, and underneath it (to me), the powerful feeling of love and acceptance. Validation. The way I hear the last verse now.
"You can't blame the soft sway
You can't fault the bloom
You can't close this heart in
Your same dream on loop
You can't change
When you can't extend
There's still more to do"
I love, love singing this to myself. It's not only a gorgeous melody. I just love the acceptance within it. The validation, the openness. 'You can't close this heart in: your same dream on loop...'
I love, love, LOVE how this has become a sacred container for us to continually visit. whenever inspired, to share what's most exciting for us to share ๐ฅน.
I'm deeply, deeply passionate about music. I'm absolutely in love with it. I write poetry and it plays as a song in my mind. I dance everyday, I sing everyday. Music means profoundly deep things to me, and songs take me to sacred places. Divine ones. They're like portals and access points to some of the most beautiful vibrations that I contain.
Been excited about this for a while, but gonna start sharing songs I love and some of their meanings/vibrations to me, as I'm excited to :'). My music taste is extremely diverse, so every sharing will probably be very different hahaha. I could gush about music for HOURS!
Anyway, just wanted to first express how I love this thread and all that's been shared so far!
Outstanding selections being shared here, thank you all so much for the new (to me) sonic explorations. I love it all.
Hello again, beautiful souls. Following my excitement and sharing two more favourite pieces of mine with you all ( only music )
If you haven't heard of Diana Ankudinova yet... be prepared to have a spiritual experience... this piece is when she had just turned 18 and is in a contest with other professional singers in Russia much older than her. Turn on CC and select English translation to hear what they say. She is a Russian singer and is called "The Queen of Goosebumps". She had a very traumatic childhood... abused and left abandoned at a Russian bus stop in winter when she was three years old with a broken collarbone. She was place in an orphanage and her adoptive family discovered her amazing musical talent and the rest is, as they say, history. She is now 21 and is a very unique talent and that is an understatement! Very unique. . . she is a very rare dramatic contralto with a 4 octave range. This piece covers 3 octaves. What a beautiful expression of All That Is!! By the way... she won the contest (which comprised of 9 songs from each contestant)! AND... she is the most beautiful, loving soul... caring greatly for others.
If you haven't heard of Marcin Patrzalek yet, you are in for a treat... here is his latest...he is considered one of the best guitarists on the planet right now...
This is a beautiful instrumental piece by Marconi Union called 'Weightless' which is considered one of the most relaxing pieces of music in the world and studies done using this before surgery for patients instead of drugs was found to be very effective... the video is very intersesting as well!
Hey beautiful souls, hope I'm not too late to join this musical party going on here ๐ let me share an instrumental piece which I love. Instrumentals and BGMs help me with my imagination sometimes. I've imagined many stuffs while listening to this https://youtu.be/FbuQkjptjTY?si=xA4KdUYcFFAizvh5
Peace and love to you all ๐โจ
Here's another profound Darpan piece... A New Vision...
