There have been songs, that I loved the first time I heard themThere 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?”
