are the lyrics uplifting and focusing on the positive or are they hateful or depressing or talking of things people do not wish to be in their lives? (remember we become and call to us the things we talk about and think about) you may say as many times as you wish that you don't pay attention to the lyrics, but the truth is, your mind hears it and creates a program to activate in your life based on it. music is programming. we become sympathetic to the frequencies around us. how do you want to be programmed?quote]

jaybird, you make some very good points. however, i think that perhaps positive sto people are likely to seek out and enjoy music that is of a positive nature or frequency.

looking at some of the lyrics that have been written out on this thread, it is easy to see that many "rock and roll" songs do have a positive message. perhaps these artists are here to deliver that positive message subliminally to those who have not yet awakened and, for those of us who have, for our enjoyment.

i know that when i hear a song that i like, i definitely learn and remember the lyrics and i sing along, it makes me happy. i think positive people listen to and enjoy music with a positive message, whether it is rock and roll or pop or whatever.

i agree there is a lot of music out there that contains much negativity, but, imo, that is not likely to resonate with anyone on a positive path.

it is unfortunate though, and i do agree with you wholeheartedly, that these negative messages of hate and war and anger are influencing many of today's youth and the sts adults that enjoy listening to the negative words of some artists and it may well "program" them to continue on their negative path.

i suppose if you always had the radio on and let others program what you hear, you may have a point. personally, i have recently started to enjoy silence, but i digress, i do still love a whole lot of rock and roll.
