"The best tracks somehow seem not to impose their own sense of right or wrong on you. They don’t tell you how to feel." I love this! I have this feeling for a lot of music I like. Most of my friends are under the impression that I like "sad" or "melancholic" music, but for me these tracks just create a space to feel emotions, and a track that superficially seems melancholic to most can create extreme bliss for me. Thanks Michael. Great post and enjoy the drop :)
The drop is going well so far! Not quite the same "oh my god there's so much energy now", but right now there is definitely a releasing of long held tension going on.
And I know what you mean! The selection of music can help amplify emotions that we otherwise may struggle to access or fully embody, but again it's not like the music *forces* us there (well, not music I enjoy, anyway).
