This thread is for any really intense experiences you've had because of music. When I say intense, I generally mean emotionally, but you're all allowed to use your discretion. I'll start off with some content for an example.
So today I was listening to Darkside of The Moon by Pink Floyd. I was just sitting at my computer listening with my eyes closed and I had the craziest experience. It was like I had a cathartic moment or something. I was reliving my whole life, including parts that haven't happened yet. Each song was like a chapter and would shift into a different style and emphasis. For example, when On The Run came on I felt like I was reliving my whole life up until now, but all while running through an airport terminal. I'd run past various parts of my life and would almost run into them trying to get to where I was going. During Brain Damage and the first bit of Eclipse I was back with all the moments I had with my Dad after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's before he died. Us and Them was the strangest and most intense part though. I was dancing with my wife on our wedding night and I could feel every smallest detail. What makes it so strange was that I'm not married. It was like reliving a memory that hasn't happened yet. I can remember what the ring looked like, and how it felt on my finger. I can remember how uncomfortable the shoes I was wearing while dancing were, or how it was so warm in the ballroom and it made my collar itchy. All through the whole album it was like I was, for lack of a better term, one with the universe.
Don't usually listen to rap but this was probably the first great rap song i'd ever heard and got me interested in other songs like it or at least as good.

Wish I fucking knew. Maybe my mom slipped me something in my root beer? As far as I know I wasn't on any drugs, which both makes this experience harder to understand and in my mind at least, even more intense.

"My experience has largely been subtractive: it is hard to do anything or to think about anything with much success, or even "actively listen," while [I]Time Machines[/I] is playing. It is the aural equivalent of an isolation tank, in that you don't even notice the vessel falling away, you're so immersed. Turn it on, tune in, and dissolve. - Matt Sussman, [URL="http://www.sfbg.com/"]San Francisco Bay Guardian[/URL]"
This Mouth of the Architect album. I was driving at night listening to it, and it was storming and pouring rain all around me. It was the most incredible thing ever.

Oh and I nearly cried I was so happy when I saw The Mars Volta.
