Music revealing religious/spiritual truth?

I haven't used these forums in a while, so I want to start back by discussing something dear to my heart.


Many times when I am playing music, or listening to 'good music', I get certain feelings in the bottom of my stomach. Sometimes I think I am understanding something greater than myself; that I am branching out and gaining some form of wisdom by opening myself up to the truth that is music.

But I don't think the music itself is the answer. I think the feelings you get when you listen to good music touch on something greater... and you can call that God, or spirituality, or whatever, but I think the music is just a vehicle to get you to that higher place.


Has anyone thought about this at all?

Personally I don't get as deep as you've described. I do get tingles whenever I hear a good P&W song, a well played guitar solo or bass line.
