how do I find that openness or trigger it in other people.
I think it's cool that you want to open people up. Very cool. Vids have introduced me to some amazing music over the years, and I love that aspect of vidding. A lot.
and when *I* discover something new (to me) or different genre or just a fabulous song the feeling I get is so... It is hard to describe but it feels expansive - like I am filling up and larger and I just want to share that with as many people as possible.
Oh, absolutely. In the end, though, music either resonates with you, or it doesn't. This may sound off the wall, but when I say resonate, I mean resonate. As in, I feel it sort of flow through my body, and feel my body's reaction. When something clicks, it's that sense of expanding and filling up that you talked about, or even a sort of soaring euphoria; and when it doesn't, it can be extremely unpleasant.
I've just given up hoping other people will like what I like (I mean, geez, who the hell else likes Sigur Ros?) When someone does, it's a *huge* thrill, but I have no expectations whatsoever, anymore.
