Yes, music sounded great to me all my life. I adored pop, rock and R and B music. But, since Iâve been ill, I thought the lyrics were sending me messages so I quit listening to popular music and started listening to instrumental jazz and classical, which I didnât like near as much. So, gradually, I quit listening to music altogether.

Even instrumental music sends me messages.
Music is better when high on weed. But I get psychotic symptoms when high so I donât recommend it

When I was hallucinating I would hallucinate music too that was just in my head. I kind of wish I could transpose music just from listening because some of it was pretty good. Even though I loved playing classical piano music growing up and grew up in the west the music would sound distinctly middle eastern and I would hear vocals that werenât in my language. Mostly it was just a voice that was effective just going oh the whole time but sometimes it would be words I couldnât make out. It was probably all just gibberish though, but the music was pretty good but had a haunting quality to it.
I love music anyways though. Nowadays I just listen to Christian contemporary western music. I kind of lost interest in secular music cuz almost all of it is about having a romantic partner and I canât really relate cuz I only had one boyfriend for three months and went on like one date with someone online and it wasnât even really a date cuz he said he just wanted to hang out. Iâve had guy friends in school that I had feelings for but itâs not the same as being in a relationship.

Music sounds better when I am manic. Everything seems crisper and more enjoyable. The world really comes alive.

@sea00115699, I sometimes hallucinate music too. The music I hear is chaotic. It sounds like a symphonic orchestra tuning up their instruments before a concert. I have, in the past, heard eerie organ like sounds playing New Age music.
In the past, I have dreamed about music. And I would wake up with the music in my head. The music that I hear in my sleep is lyrical and melodic. Unlike my hallucinatory material. I am educated in music, so, I would write the music down that I heard in my sleep. I wrote 500 musical pieces, and produced three musical albums in this manner.

Yeah I hate hearing messages in lyrics too. Itâs really mean that the illness gets to interfere with love of music. Tv I can take or leave but music is everything to me.

I need music to help me with auditory hallucinations and it helps me drown them out to clean the apartment

I find it harder to find music that grabs me the older I get. But I love it when I find something new and good. It meant a lot to me when I was ill but now when I hear that same music it reminds me of those times so is not a good experience. Better to find something new for new times.

During the earlier part of the 20th century Christians were placing subliminal suggestions in the lyrics of artists who were otherwise recognized as Agonstic or Atheist
The latter part of the 20th Century seen college graduates who took notice of the propaganda so began hiding reference to other theoretical physics (mostly concerning metaphysics and epistemology).
In example The Beatles single âStrawberry Fieldsâ was reference to a person existing in a fake quantum reality and it hosted a B side for Penny Lane which continued on with the demonstration âPenny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesâ thus referring to Daniel Dennettâs Cartesian Theater theory
Much later, They Might be Giants and Talking Heads also took notice and decided to be smart arses as well
TMBG continuing Penny Lane in their song The Worldâs Address
" I know you deceived me, couldnât sleep last night
Now my tear stains on the wall reflect an ugly sight
I can see your secrets
No need to confess
Everyone looks naked when you know the worldâs address
The worldâs address
A place thatâs worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
Iâll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The worldâs address
Lifeâs parade of fashion just leaves me depressed
Under every garment I can see the worldâs address
Call the men of science and let them hear this song
Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong
The worldâs address
A place thatâs worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
Iâll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The worldâs address
Call the men of science and let them hear this song
Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong
The worldâs address
A place thatâs worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
Iâll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The worldâs address
A place thatâs worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
Iâll say it one more time for those who may not have already guessed
The worldâs address"
Sadly for those of us never able to afford college or the time to question our existence all of these parodies just wound up scaring the poo out of us once the songs suddenly began making sense.

Nope, because it gives me anxiety. Cannot listen to rock or metal music anymore, just trance and house music. It sounded way better before I got sick.
