Have you ever wondered why the first pop/rock songs that were recorded an thus became famously well-known worldwide, are keeping their popularity even after decades and are literally "evergreens". Whereas contemporary pieces of music just seems to come and go without leaving a trace behind them like clouds passing in the sky?
You might explain this away by the facts that nowadays there are more musicians and that the technical side to the recording and publicising has become a lot faster and easier. Or that the people who used to listen to the so-called oldies in their young days still do so today.
These might be valid explanations from a materialistic point of view.
However there is also a Spiritual way of explaining it.
Bearing in mind that everything consists of Divine energy or in other words Love, it seems absolutely logical that the generality of modern-day music simply vanishes after its swift appearance in the charts. Why? To the greatest part these pieces of music do not contain any Love but are purely commercial. Commercial in their intention of production and as well as in their performance. Hardly ever there is a true musician or song-writer involved. No-one who is doing it for pure joy and love of the musical art. The lyrics as well as the music are usually copied or even stolen and variegated from someone else's. Voices are being digitally tampered with to make them sound better and if there are any real instruments involved in the act at all the same applies to their sounds. In other words, it is all artificially produced in order to allow its producer and those co-operating in the project to make as much money from it as possible.
Whereas in the early and earlier days of pop/rock records, the musicians used to be real people. Real in the sense that they were devoted to their art, devoted to their gift of writing lyrics, playing an instrument, singing, composing music... They put their heart-blood into their productions and thus their audience was touched at heart in listening to their music. The sound of the voices and instruments on the records were generally only optimized in quality but not changed in their originality. Of course, also back then some of the musicians eventually became fame/money-hunters and lost their truth of expression just like the modern day performers.
What is of importance in life is Love and Truth. These two qualities provoke positive changes in those who come into touch with it. Love and Truth have a nourishing effect on the Soul and thus ultimately bring peace to the mind upon a personal level. Whereas commercial music posses neither of them and therefore is at best leaving the consumer untouched and at worst is leaving him unhappier than he was before.
