Down the rabbit hole
Whether it was a song you've listened to thousands of times before, and it took on a new meaning, or something new..... just any song that stood out and touched your core whilst you were under the influence of any psychedelic.... I'm interested to know. Also interested to know which psyche makes you personally more attune to music.
 
Well ive enjoyed a million tunes tripping, all the usual ambient or trancey things.

However, was on a coach once when a particular song came on the radio, I got stereo bodily sensations and the coach swayed disney style to the synth line / annoying siren noise and it totally blew me away.
People of certain age from the UK will recognize this piece of utter trash, its almost an insult to music.
But at the time it was perfect

Group - Eloy, Album - Dawn, Song - Between The Lines

It's Krautrock, firmly in Pink Floyd Era 'Wish You Were Here' or 'Animals'.

Dominated by moog, mellotron and hammond organ.

(ooh, just showed my age)
 
^^ I have had an effect extremely similar, tho it was to my desktop fan. After about a half hour of listening to it it flanges right out, and eventually gets to around the perceivable volume of a jet engine. Very interesting.

As to music, there has been thousands of individual songs that has affected me whilst tripping. A choice few that stand out would be,

Tavi - Gautama Buddha {The Awakened Sage}

Nova Fractal - Reality Of Life

Electus - Who We Are

While on shrooms, this video in particular.

Lyrics
NSFW:

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going...

 
The Blizzard - Kalopsia
Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, 1st Movement
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Royksopp - Running to the Sea
Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun (from Band of Gypsys album)
Faithless - Sun to Me
 
Echoes - Pink Floyd
Fifty and Five - Hilltop Hoods (not necessarily going to be a fun experience)
Divine Moments of Truth - Shpongle

These three have without a doubt been the catalyst for my most amazing experiences. Other notables include Tool, The Mars Volta and just about all psychedelic trance music ever, which to this day feels like it actually emotionally heals me.
 
Beatles. Or shpongle.

Not to be cliched. i mean. only goes so far as music in general. But. They were both putting a LOT of money into potentiating drugs and recreating sensations.

oh and jimi hendrix and pfunk. Everyone on heres pretty on point so far.

I'm glad to see some Classical music mentioned. It can be absolutely exquisite on psychedelics -- even if it's normally not your thing.

For me, Scarlatti sonatas played on harpsichord can get super-intense. In particular, because the harpsichord is such a foreign instrument to us today, and because it makes all sorts of very weird mechanical noises, the effect is somewhat "electronic" and other-worldly -- which I know a lot of you guys like. And Scarlatti is happy, happy, happy. It's all Mediterranean sunshine -- no bad moods here. I've found Scarlatti to be very reliable in keeping things feeling good and on a positive plane.

One example of exactly 555 (there's really no running out):

You've inspired me. I think next, I'll do comparative listening. I.e.: night on bald mountain - musorgsky v saint-saens . Though I'm drawing a blank on similar songs... where the topic or inspiration is the same. Any suggestions that are similar

I recognise the name 'Scarlatti' and I'm pretty sure it is from when I was digging around here and elsewhere for classical music to listen to on psychedelic drugs, lol. I never got round to listening to him so I will give him a try (when I get home from work :( ), thanks. I could probably add Mozart's Requiem to the list in my first post

Re TS question on which psych makes me most attuned to music, LSD and ketamine
 
j.s. Bach, first movement of his mass in b minor (Kyrie eleison). The first times I listened to this fugue was for waking up. And one day my eyes were uncovered and i saw it for what it is.
incredible music. bach ftw
but there is lots of stuff. I read Tool some posts above. I know the pieces fit, cause i saw them fall away.
There's lots of stuff
