Frequency
The Soul knows the Sound
Frequencies
It was 1984. When Doves Cry poured out of the radio.
I was ten years young. A distorted guitar tore straight through my spine; my ears woke up instantly. A hypnotizing drum sound dropped and knocked on my heart, while the guitar kept shredding, then it cut to a hard halt and went on in the background. An eerie voice let out strange, otherworldly sounds. A synthesizer played an East-Asian sounding melody, and then his low voice slid in: “Dig if you will the picture... of you and I engaged in a kiss.” I became a fan on the intro alone, but his voice sealed it. It was my first eargasm.
She wasn’t just singing lyrics. She was speaking in frequency. She was talking about concepts I had never heard before, but somehow, I recognized them. Not with my mind, with my spirit. I wanted to know more. Who was this wise woman who overstood dimensions? Who moved like she had lived many lives?
I have always believed that music must have a purpose — to heal, to shift consciousness, to awaken something in us. Vibrations and words are not just sound — they are magic, and that is something sacred.
Artists who honor that truth are more than performers. They are earth angels, healers, and messengers. They understand their assignment: to guide us, to remind us, to call us back to ourselves.
This blog is both my reflection today and a continuation of what my dear friend Grace Wong-Si-Kwie wrote for iloveinspiration.nl back in 2018, when APESHT* first shook the culture. Her words captured the urgency of that moment. Mine carry it forward into a divine frequency.
When Gaga says she “blacks out” during performance, what she’s really describing is channeling. In mysticism and performance art, there is a state where the ego dissolves and Spirit takes over.
Blues was his altar. The guitar his offering. And the crossroads? His sacred meeting place between shadow and light..
Being raised in a predominantly Caucasian environment, I didn’t always see myself reflected in the world around me. But I found mirrors in music
Music is not background noise. Music is a doorway. A song can shift the air in a room and shift the air inside you. It can change the way you breathe. It can soften your shoulders, straighten your spine, and lift your eyes. It can move you from doubt to decision in under three minutes. It can pull you from numbness back into life before the chorus even lands. That is the power of music. It moves you. And what moves you, changes you.
