I'm sure I could over-intellectualize Gorecki also! Of course, the OP actually DIDN'T do that. To the point of some other recent threads about "drawing in new listeners to Classical music", it's important that that type of "pure, raw experience" can still happen, even among the experienced listeners. As much as I like to learn and be taught by others, there comes (sometimes) a point of over-analyzing and burnout to the technical stuff. But, as in my little Bruckner analogy, there is also much that is NOT experienced when taking a straight-ahead look at something that can be viewed in multiple ways. Ah, but when the two perspectives come together....
