Sometimes the world can be a stressful and problematic place so having express your emotions can help you cope. With that being said, many of us spend our free time and money on these things such as music that can help us escape. The most common is to go to a music concert or festival to experience something new. Furthermore, some even seek for a religious or spiritual experience. For me and my own experience with music, I do find the idea of a music concert/festival as sites of religious or spiritual experiences convincing. With all of us being different, there is no official way to determine what defines as a religion, so it depends on the person whether or not some sort of religious or spiritual happenings when they go to a music concert/festival. Although I do believe that some sort of spiritual experience can happen, I don't believe that others can tell others what they experience so in all it really is a personal matter,  determined by oneself because you attended the concert for yourself not for other people.]]> 2018-03-02 00:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237241853 oluwatobilobadewole https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237254093 For me, although I attended one music concert in person in my life time, it was a one I have never experience before. It was a Travis Scott concert and feeling is hard to explain, but it is something, if you are a Travis Scott fan, that you wouldn't be able to experience just listen to his music through headphones. I would definitely describe it as an almost spiritual experience. Also, I would describe my church on Sundays during our praise and worship session as another musical spiritual experience that can not be described. I feel as though God is there with us and it is something I can fully describe but just have to tell you, you have ti be there! Apart from the one music concert and my church on Sunday, I do not have much experience however as a huge fan of music I do plan to attend more concerts.]]> 2018-03-02 01:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237254093 oluwatobilobadewole https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237257213 Here are some quotes from the reading I felt help me write this padlet
1. "People all over the world use organized sound to enhance and even transcend the possibilities of language." (Dell'Antonio,  1)
2."...listening to their music I was able to lose myself to a greater extent than with any other kind of music or experience..." (Sylvan, 46)
3. "Music cleanses the understanding, inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it could not reach if it were left to itself." (Henry War Beecher)]]> 2018-03-02 02:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237257213 oluwatobilobadewole https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237257807 This is the only concert I have attended but as a huge Travis Scott fan, it was a one of a kind experience. You can not tell me that attending concerts does not count as a spiritual experience because the amount of people that saw doing things that they probably would not do if they were just listening to the music was amazing. In conclusion, attend a concert! ]]> 2018-03-02 02:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237257807 oluwatobilobadewole https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237258555 I can also imagine that the setting of the concert can have an affect of the type of experience that you have. For example, I feel that at festivals that involve heavy electric music, when you add the dark setting as wells as the neon flashing light with the music, you can feel the music as will as the spiritual experience enhanced ]]> 2018-03-02 02:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237258555 oluwatobilobadewole https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237259489 As I mention, I do want to attend more concerts in person so I can enhance the spiritual experience that I feel. Here is a video on youtube that I found of one of my favorite edm artist performing at a festival. When I watch the people in the crowd I can see people dancing, clapping, and just letting all their emotions go, which is an experience I am assuming is a spiritual on for them. ]]> 2018-03-02 02:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/oluwatobilobadewole/3mhpw3jxez7e/wish/237259489
