This is exactly how I felt the first time I heard a live version of “Anyone Who Knows What Love Is” by Irma Thomas.

for me, music only began to “resonate” this past year and it’s exactly as you described — letting go of intellectualizing

I looove the title! It immediately caught me and pulled me closer to read, haha.

Also— “the human need for “cosmic connection,” the way a being can be connected to the surrounding world in a way “shot through with joy, significance, inspiration.””

I’ve been thinking about this recently too, and about life being all about connections- not only to people (people as well), but to nature, to art, to values, to a higher being/purpose for those who are inclined.
