Hi Justin, love your insight on mindful listening: getting lost into a song or an entire album is definitely beneficial at so many levels. Even if it’s a AC/DC song! The brain can rewired itself and connect to other layers of emotions. It can be very intense for sure and one has to be prepared to the experience, as in meditation, as many things can surface. But this is all part of the process and so rewarding. It also is very useful for ear training. I love deep diving into songs, atmospheres, voice cracks, sounds etc… That is probably why I’m very receptive to Tom Waits’ universe as he has a very special way to mix any kind of weird sounds with beautiful piano or guitar pieces, along with his unique voice.
