Yeah but I know some tranquil songs that I didn't really like at first but, after playing through entire soundtracks, take a mysterious liking to them that I could never understand earlier, so I get what you mean. Favorited most of these so as to not leave them lost in the jungle of my mass chattiness in this forum XD

At least when it came to chess, I was always thrilled with depressing or angsty music. But there's a limit where I can never improve without shifting my personality in some alternation, which is one of my unintended skills XD so I like the yin and the yang in favor of some more positive tunes as well. I knew pretty much no music whatsoever for myself in 2003 hahaha, was just the class pet in many classes in Seventh Grade.

it's interesting how music changes with and reflects the spirit of the time. like, what was going on in the 80s? fuck knows.

just as our lives alternate thru periods of struggle, suffering, confusion, enjoyment, serenity, etc., society does too, and our music reflects that.

Yeah I didn't always taste music this way or even prior. Always changed with my mood and such--sometimes our hobbies as well. Some of that 80s rock and such did and still does appeal to me when I'm doing something rhetorical, or while I'm thinking about the past. Of course with memories older than any of us alive today, it's almost more fitting to listen to what's really modern.

Lots of musix I've never known about either that most people do. :D So always willing to collect some more.

it's pretty; a little depressed/depressing, but I guess that's life sometimes :/

the key is to have faith and persevere anyway. 4 seasons and we go thru them all.

yeah that particular time I felt experimental... though the song is not in my natural search it was something I learned off of someone else, so I felt like sharing it here...because it does set the mood, even though I prefer depressing music in the context of rock than that stuff

I do hate feeling hopelessness though. Just going through it doesn't satisfy me...surviving does, true, but I feel like I shouldn't even be subjecting myself to the shit.

sorry just being vague

reward is not in risk itself, but risk does create the context to appreciate it. plus, something to do with character and wisdom, I suppose. If life were just cupcakes and flowers, we'd be dainty little trifles.
