What song impacted you the most when using psychs...

Surprisingly, when I look back, I was always outdoors during trips. I've only heard one song during a come-up and that was 'Radio Gnome Invisible' from Gong's Flying Teapot album. The only reason I remember this song is because it made me laugh so hard.
 
I have had profound ketamine experiences that were guided by Shpongle's 'Around the World in a Tea Daze'. Frances the Mute by The Mars Volta is an album that offered some very emotional experiences with serotonin agonists. Just about any Mars Volta albums were well received and deeply impacting on my psychedelic journeys.

No joke, when tripping this song actually makes me cri everytim. Not that there's anything particularly psychedelic about it per se, in the formal sense, but nevertheless I find it has this profoundly cathartic, emotional, dramatic sonic texture that I think just happens to pair really well with some of the big motifs present in the psychedelic aesthetic -- or at least the aesthetic as I've come to understand it. Then again this could all just be me subconsciously conflating what are actually two unrelated experiential/artistic mediums because they both happen to be one of the few things that appeal to me in any meaningful way.
 
One of my first trips and the first time I took a truly heroic dose I decided to go through the entire Beatles discography. While many songs revealed amazing epiphanies two really stand out even now. The first is the George Harrison classic "I me mine" its about how sad it is that most people live each day obsessed and ruled by their egos which they don't realize aren't even the true and whole self and think only about their own selfish wants.

The other is "fool on the hill" "the fool on the hill sees the sun going down but the eyes in his head see the world spinning round" now that's some deep epistomological shit. Crazy that id heard that song at least a hundred times without realizing what that implied about the nature of the mind and how things we consider basic facts and knowledge were at one time the revolutionary ideas that made pariahs of those who were able to crack the cosmic egg of accepted human knowledge of their time and think them. Really made me get into epistemology and wonder what is a fact and how do I know what's true and false or real and fake.

This led me two two books that changed my mind forever. Structured of scientific revolution by Thomas Kuhn and crack in the cosmic egg by Joseph Chilton pearce

This. That whole album (Enjoy Eternal Bliss)... Never have I listened to such a profound and emotionally involving piece of music. To this day it still invokes such a beautiful sorrow within me. Listening to it on acid, full volume with headphones and complete sensory depravation. It was almost 'too' intense and I had to take the headphones out and listen through the speakers.

It is so simple yet so beautiful...

Also I think the only time I've flashbacked is whilst randomly putting this album on, all of a sudden my mind just felt very uncomfortable like coming down from a good trip, and I felt quite emotional. Dunno, maybe something else was going on lol!
 
Someone posted this in music section while back now I listen to it every trip
The American Dollar - Anything You Synthesize


A lot of good music in this thread
 
rolling stones - paint it black
tool - parabola
and the ghost in the shell theme on very high dose of shrooms, fucking destroyed the fabric of my being.
 
The song Still Grey by pendulum while walking through a green forest on a head full of mushroom had me dancing down the hiking trail, the words changed to still green and the forest came to life with the smooth dnb.

Tipper's track Dead Soon is amazing while tripping, also spunion.
Anything glitches up really amps up the effects of my trip

Everyone's mentioned it but, DMT by shpongle is incredible.
Also Shpongle Spores was played on my first mushroom trip and my god, no wonder right beforehand friend showed it to me he said, "listen, this song sound like mushrooms feel"... He was right :)
 
I would love to say something from Steve Roach or Troum or something, but to be honest the only song I've listened to while tripping is "Merlin's Magic - The Heart of Reiki". I don't practice Reiki anymore but I sure do love that song :) I've heard it so much now it just feels like home.
