yet overtly religious music is usually - not always but usually - devoid of this mystical feeling
like, i get more of that feeling off of soul than from the gospel that it is a secularized version of
thinking also of an Uber ride i took the other week where the lady driver was born again - Christian paraphernalia all over the dashboard, radio tuned to Christian rock, awful pallid stuff
she told me about her past life "on the dark side" - meaning rock + drugs - and how she knew first hand how powerful it was, how alluring, and had been alarmed because her grand kid had got into going to see bands
but i bet those bands, whoever they are, transmitted more "religiosity" (however you want to define that) than the insipid Christian pop she currently was listening to - so she would be right to ascribe dangerous seductive power to the devil's tunes
she was incidentally one of the least Christian in spirit and manner people i've encountered for a while, going on about being a hustler and the importance of making money etc
