Music, particularly song, is probably the most
powerful form of patterning form that exists.
Tis not accidental that the word chant appears
in enchantment (or icantation) nor that spell
and sentence has more than one meaning.

Would you actually sit down in a conversation
and allow someone to repeat to you (say):

She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you yeah yeah yeah, yeah

It certainly programs - but probably doe slittle damage,
whereas:
'I will always love you' repeated ad nauseum will create
dependency - esp in the partly formed pubescent mind.

Be very careful what you write in your songs - and
be very careful what you expose yourself and others
to in song patterning.
