Can music drag us down?
Hi everyone! I wanted to make a post cause I feel strange when it comes to an Ariana Grande album… Overall I like Ariana’s music, I don’t know too much about her as a person so it is pretty detached for me.
I first listened to Petal the album when it came out and I was getting ready to leave the house with my partner. Idk how to explain it, but it made me anxious and I have been feeling that way ever since. Also a lot of stuff has started crashing for me since I’ve started listening. I’m in an anxious and weird state and don’t feel like myself.
I also can’t keep the song out of my head.
I’m not at all saying her music has some kind of spiritual power but… Something has definitely shifted since listening.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
