Abstract	Though often dismissed as ephemeral or--worse--demonic, popular music has given voice to a quest for transcendence since its beginnings. The urge to connect with that which transcends our experience, be it a higher power, another person, or some aspect of nature, is one of the things that makes us human. People view the object of this quest, as well as what it means to achieve it, differently. Yet regardless of how it is understood, the urge to participate in or belong to something greater and more lasting than ourselves--a feeling born of an awareness of our mortality--is what defines us as spiritual beings.
