There have been songs, that I loved the first time I heard them
There are others that I had to hear several times to appreciate
- but the ones that I've loved at first sight had two qualities:
• the sound of music (instruments and vocals) and the lyrics
◦ psychologists refer to this response to music as “emotional resonance”
◦ the sound waves and meaning of the music find a string that vibrates deep in the soul
• for me, one of the songs that instantly moved me was Van Morrison’s
When will I ever learn to live in God?
“When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?”
