Once day I was talking to this guy about music and how I like alot of 60-70's stuff. He asked me where got this music (I'm only 25) and I was about to tell him I find it and research it but that's not what came out of my mouth...It was strange..I told him "It finds me" and he smiled and nodded. I don't know where it came from.
Then I was thinking, intent seems powerful and I thought about the creators of these deep songs...Their intention was for the song to find people.
I guess it doens't make a great question but does this make sense? I've been thinking about it for the last week or so, any help/comments?

Why does this seem spiritual to me?

I love it when things just fly out of my mouth. That is 'truth' right there. You are right. The creators of this music got it from a higher dimension than the one we normally live in and your answer came from that same place. Pretty interesting.

It makes sense to me. For example I bought a compilation CD a few months ago because I wanted the song "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs. Anyway, it had songs on it starting in the 1960s and going to the 1990s. I decided to just play the whole thing because there were some 60s songs I'd not ever heard before. The third track on the first disc is a song called" Why do I Cry" by The Remains. I'd never heard of them but have now discovered they were an overlooked gem. That may not be what you mean, but I feel like that song found me.

I have experienced this type of thing many times. Not about music, but just saying something and not knowing where the thought came from. I think it's a way for an old soul inside some of us, to let us know just how long we've really been around. Listen to the old soul, it knows!

I've run across a concept recently, called the Law of Attraction. I think it fits what you're describing. I first read about it on Steve Pavlina's Personal Development site, but I think it's a widespread concept among life coaches.
You might try Googling "Law of Attraction" for an interesting afternoon!

Most of the creators of those deep songs were on hallucinogenic drugs.
One of my favorites is the Mercedes-Benz Song.
"Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz,
my friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends...."

You are SO ready to study cognitive science. That's where this kind of question is dealt with, and you'll be surprised to find out how much we already understand about this.
I'd love to see this kind of question in the Psychology area, rather than constant questions about boyfriends and psychopathologies.

It strikes me that what you are commenting on is the ability of music to work on a deeper, unconscious level.
It does this by, among other means, altering the speed of your heartbeat.

That is deep - I'm wondering how I can make my music find people. That would be cool if I could do that!

research dependent origination. Just as you find the song the song finds you, both are just as true as the other.

everything is "spiritual"
to say otherwise is the greatest blasphemy
