Quantum Physics at work here: sound (vibration) IS energy. Beautiful Music is vibration in its grossest form...yet it is energy...energy that is clinically affecting brainwaves and brain circuitry.
Vibratory sound - taken to more specific levels - could, in essence, recircuit the brain to correct such issues as depression, alcohol abuse, anxiety, low self esteem, negative thinking, etc.
It also explains why, when I go into Walmart, time and space have lost all meaning and I come out hours later having spent way more money than I intended. Here, I thought they were pumping in some sort of Walmart Gas to put me in a buying trance. Now we know it's the Muzak.

...tastes in music change with age.Speak for yourself! My tastes haven't changed in 30 years.
I was on the way to church with my kids a few weeks ago. Clad, as I usually am on such occasions, in Great-Grandmama's pearls and a very sedate silk dress Great-Grandmama would have approved of. We were listening to some rather accessible baroque music, and when it ended I began punching the buttons on the car radio. By accident I came across Clapton singing "Layla." I started singing along with Derek and the Dominos at the top of my lungs, because I never forget a lyric. My kids were horrified. Who was this screaming madwoman? They thought their mommy was this gentle Christian lady who always speaks in a soft voice and goes to art museums and historic houses. Now, though, Mommy is humiliating them by displaying that she not only knows all the lyrics to this rock song, but is willing to crank up the volume, open the windows, and show the world why her car has subwoofers. They hunched down out of fear someone would see them in the car with a crazy woman.

The truth is that rock 'n' roll is too good for the children.

I didn't have my own at 8 but the kid across the street was 8 years older than I was and all thumbs so I had my dad bring home one of the arc welders and I taught myself to weld and channeled his 32 5 window coupe and port and relieved his 3/8x3/8 flat head.
When I was 12 I drove one of his friends flathead rail at Santa Ana and went a whole 128!

This is not only the case for music. Essentially anything that we repeatedly watch or hear will form nueral pathways in our brains. We then tend to process new information through the same pathways and so anything we come across will be veiwed with the mindset we already have.
Essentially that is why a Democrat can look at Bill Clinton and think he was a great President. They were constantly bombarded with media that fitted their own preprogrammed nueral pathways - Bill's spindoctors were also quite good at using words that triggered familiarity etc.
This is also why so many of our kids are so negative and angry most of the time - what they constantly put before their eyes and ears is hatefull bitter music and many monstrous movies that constantly reinforce their negative veiws. Any incoming information is thus filtered through their predisposed nueral pathways.
Funny that the scriptures tell us to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. How do we do this? Thinking on good things and studying the word.
God Bless

BTW I preached on this at a youth service - It's amazing how this can change the attitude of "it's not doing any harm to "I better watch what I put into my mind.

Wasn't there a Govenor of a southern state that wanted to give a cd to every pregnant mother in the state ? If he was a Democrat, it was probably a D & C !!

...said Frances Rauscher, an expert in music cognition at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh. The number of "new and improved" fields of study at which people make a living never ceases to amaze me.

No wonder nobody can write music anymore.

I get a similar reaction from my kids when I turn up the volume on a korn song. At the ripe old age of 51.

I think music lifts the spirit, our mind may not need it but our heart does...which has a rhythm of it's own.
Listening to a darwinist explain music is like listening to a butcher explain a throughbred horse by the texture and weight of its meat.

Music soothes the savage beast.
