“Trance 4 Life”, “Trance is a religion” - within the slight cringe speaks a truth that is undeniable. No matter how many decades pass and how wide the music taste has expanded, I always return to hypnotic and dream inducing Trance music. From the first moment I played the compilation Nyana it was like I had found what I’d been looking for my whole life. Not just a genre I liked, but something I truly loved. Can you also relate to this? My taste has changed a lot, but Trance is always there. At 70 I’ll be declaring my love for it still, hopefully on this forum.
It’s such a common theme with this music, why is it that it has such a power to make us feel this way?
Of course, this is not exclusive to Trance. Many other genres evoke the same decade long passion. But isn’t this a strange, strange phenomenon not really discussed? Music can ‘change my life’ it may also ‘save my life’, if those comments in YouTube are to be believed. It clearly has that power to heal and evolve us as people. But the perplexity is that it's simply just frequencies. Vibrations in the air, arranged in certain ways, become the most important thing in people’s lives. Reason or science offers no explanation, yet here music is, the most powerful and globally popular phenomenon in human existence. Why?
