Steve, a child of the 1980s who is responsible for about 2 million of those views by himself, discusses how "all songs are spiritual love songs" in this lecture for people who are interested in seeing divine sparks everywhere they look. In that way, we are all Bunty in search of our inner Morten!

Love your videos and book! Synchronicity this morning when your “Happy Birthday” video notification appeared, when it’s also my birthday. ❤ thank you for what you do!
If we are diving into music and spirituality, I had a certain experience-what Jungians would call synchronicity. To give some context, for the last 2-3 years, I've been overwhelmed by the world around me, having depressive thoughts. I literally felt like everything was meaningless.

A classical music station came on, but it was currently playing old jazz tracks. The host announced first song, I kept driving and observing, and then suddenly I heard:
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
That was the answer to my question. It's Ella Fitzgerald - It’s Only a Paper Moon by the way. Great song!
Boy, I will look at that video with a whole new perspective. When I saw it years ago, all I could think of was wow they didn’t spend anything making this video.
Maxwell has a song called ASCENSION. To me, it's a song about the ASCENSION of FEMININE ENERGY. Maxwell plays the part of masculine energy. I heard it after years of already knowing of the song, and it just hit me. Hit me differently than it is to...
