I like to compare the sounds in nature to music, and I love sitting at the bottom of a waterfall listening to the cacophony of sound as the water crashes down. I would say this is majestic, and can be compared to very heavy music in its feeling. I agree with Nellinator, the lyrics are what may make one song good and another bad for the soul.

Just Death Metal and Square Dance music. 😖hifty:
Death Metal isn't always bad.
Now, Square Dance music... well, it has prescribed occult movements that can only be interpreted as the summoning of some evil demon from the depths of the abyss... Didn't Bush like square dancing? That should evidence enough as to its mind numbingly evil nature 😉 It is the total suppression of free will and succumbing to their vile "caller's" commands as they gyrate immorally in their flamboyant dress, that can only be seen as an affront to all that is holy 😉 Passing from one partner to the next in a whorish display that can only be seen as symbolic of promiscuity. And the majority of those I have observed participating are old, it is self evident that this square dancing sucks the youth from an individual. 😆

What if you don't understand the lyrics anyway? What difference would it make ?
God does everything and he lets it happen he watches and acts when we watch and act because he is us he is in every molecule he moves with us, binds us, seperates us... there is a scary link there between that and the force... (no the force does not exist... as midiclorians! but it exists as god, as us, as one, as all!)
God has helped me breath, god has given me pain, god has given me wonder to expand, god has given me limits to learn. whatever god gives it all has reason and to not see that wud be utter treason!

Personally, I don't believe in listening to music I don't know the words/message of. I don't believe that somewhere in our brain we are not breaking apart the song, even if we do not recognize this occurring. Given this, the words and phrases do elicit some neural response. This response increases the ease of neural response to the stimulus the next time we contact it. This impacts the type of response we will have in the future. I do believe we have freedom of agency, but we place ourselves in an environment and that environment will impact our future decisions, good or ill. Music is a strong stimulus, and has been shown to have strong impacts on our neural physiology, it seems unwise to place oneself in a position to possibly lose some control of our actions to an inappropriate environment, at least in the case where the environment may increase the probability that a behavior I would not want to occur might.

This is a horrible stance. Good muscic is good music, regardless of whether you understand it or not.
Listening to music does not cause you to lose control of your actions. Your problems are your problems, dont push them off on foreign music.

I don't think you understood my post, your response doesn't address it properly.
Gist of it:
Environment and history plays a role in response. You can't get away from it. Placing yourself in an environment that effects your history will impact future decision making, perhaps minimally, and maybe insignificantly, but it will have an impact. Given this, you should carefully control the environment that will impact you, so that it impacts you in a desired manner.
