I’m trying to study with this playlist but my mind is itching to write stories ?
Honestly, happens way too often!
I never related so much to something
@erina it’s a great way to fall asleep isn’t it haha. Just spend a lil time each night doing worldbuilding or exploring character backgrounds. Playing around with “what if” scenarios. God I love it so much.
@esther shih hey, I have the same thing. The world in my head, it’s been there since I was 12. I’ve got journals too, filled with family trees, mythology, backstories, religions, languages, maps. And I dream about it before bed as well 🙂
Currently planning my next D&D session to this beauty
Why do we feel at most ourselves while listening to sad, melancholic music? There is no pretense in deep introspection, only brutal honesty. In a strange yet hallowed way, the clarity that comes from this pained interlude comforts us and clears our minds. Life is made of the things we’ve picked up along the way. Some belong and some don’t, and when a sentiment crosses our path (as these melodies endlessly invoke), we immediately know which is which. The contrast reveals us to ourselves as we reach into the darkness and draw out light. It’s an odd path to peace but one that is as old and sure as time itself.
Your thought and the words to say it move me just as much as this music. Thank you so much…. ♥ and cordial greetings from Italy
@Advice Music 2022 It’s a figure of speech. It could mean either.
It is not a “we” but more of an “I” for yourself that you meant. “Why do I* feel at most myself* while listening to sad, melancholic music?”
? Applauses to you and your beautiful words
holy-
Thank you 🙂
Yours is my favorite in this playlist
I’m pretty sure an angel whispered to you the notes to write for the first song, wonderful job❤
Thank you so much for your beautiful music! ? You are truly brilliant! 🙂
I started playing piano in high school and I would write my own music like this, I would play the piano wherever I found one and people always said why do you play sad music? To me it wasn’t sad and still isn’t, I just played what I liked and it was so easy for me came naturally. Still love it over 10+ years later.
Your history is so nice!
The feelings that a song transmits to you are usually not the same as someone else’s.
@Krystal Its so chill and floating. I don’t get the sadness onestly. If that’s made by you, thanks a lot for sharing these calm waves 🙂
Best luck to you but the connotation behind the music still sad
I had the same experience just making up piano music for years; not everybody understands, some think it’s “sad” or “elevator music”, but to those who understand, it is so much more. Also, there is nothing wrong with something being “sad”, life is not always fun and fair, meeting life’s sadness straight on is truthful, meaningful, important and just honest. Wishing you well on your path.
For some reason Krystal..I’m the same way. Whenever I sit down to play, it just comes naturally to me. My wife asks me why I play this way. I believe it’s an extension of my soul. It’s just me.
Man this really is melancholy. It’s fascinating to me that music can be both sorrowful and beautiful at the same time. Like a depressing dance of life occasionally filled with hope and glimpses of happiness.
Beauty can be found in any emotion.
You just wrote my feelings ❤️
❤️
hey, you. whoever’s reading this, this is your sign. everything’s gonna be okay. you did not come this far to give up. I believe in you ❤️
I am studying for an important exam you’ve made my day. Thank you so much. Best wishes?
I’m 10 months late but I just stumbled across this and… yeah… I needed that. Thank you
Leave me alone, you creep!
I really needed these words thank you so much , brother !!.?❤️
?????????????????
I feel as a flower,
Tripped over snow;
Down the hills,
Once green,
Threaded in sorrow.
Autumn felt,
A small stay;
Winter came
Withering life,
Now everything’s gray;
And I live
Inside your heart
Like a forgotten letter,
Only in your memories.
—————-A Forgotten Soul Who Is A Tragic Lover of Life & Death.
@Anju Singh, well said. To the author of the poem above, @leon kar: your composition of melody and words is really quite beautiful – it captures the bittersweet taste of a last smile shared before a quiet, final parting. Your prose shall dwell on my mind for a while to come.
I love This poem.. I Translated it to turkish and still beatifull ♥️
@J.B By forgotten letter it represents the pressing events of life. for those can’t be set aside . the past which no longer shrouds your present unless you seek shade in bover quit of memories buried deep inside, residing in your heart without any payment of rent.I guess this was it is supposed to be meant. If not my apologies to the dear author.
@J.B for realll??
I watched as the rain fell, the coffee warming my hands.
My aching heart calmed down as I watched the beauty of this world, and for a moment forgot how ugly it had treated me.
The soft music playing comforted me like a hug and I smiled closing my eyes as I brought the cup to my lips taking a sip.
My books had been with me for a while but my mind wouldnt let me focus on them, but right now maybe because of the comfort I was feeling it brought me a sense of urge to start my studying.
I grabbed the pen which was sitting next to my plate of cookies and I started to read, word after word, writing down notes after notes.
After a while I had realised the pain had left and a feeling of accomplishment had replaced. I took a sip of my now refilled coffee cup and let a breath of relief.
I was happy like this, this is who Im supposed to be and everything else was just a mere distraction, so I do what I do best, I push the distractions away and continue my warm rainy days.
@E.D DICER it indeed is
Beautiful.
*Alone in my study I sat, pen in hand, writing away at my quote strewn journal. Whilst the deeply dreaded afternoon heat heightened my melancholic mood. I missed the gray winter mornings, how my Trenchcoat, black & sweeping, would share with me it’s desirable warmth as I made my way to class, book in hand. Now those cold comforting days were no more, replaced instead by this filth we call humidity, or more commonly referred, summer. At least I could still write, confined within my room, aided by air conditioning, & this enticing string of classical pieces. Yes, I shall continue to write, in a vain attempt at distracting myself, for maybe then, perhaps, this much resented season shall pass without another word, & I will finally be able to enjoy the beauty of winter once more, to feel the aged fabric of my dearest Trenchcoat, to breath the cold white air, to read my books as I stroll to class. Perhaps soon. But for now, I’ll sit, alone in my study, pen in hand, writing away at my quote strewn journal. Whilst I dream of a better time in a better place, wasting away in the dreaded afternoon heat.*

Slytherin represent!
Is there any such thing as a rested slytherin tho??we are so driven the nothing is ever enough and no matter how good we do at something it could have been better. Giving 110% is the name of our game. We dont settle for average
@FunctionOverForm TV You have a problem
@FunctionOverForm TV ‘Alright’ is not all right.
I adore how the music selection in this playlist does not include any overplayed classical composition
Darn, i’m a writer and i’m a rather melancholic being, so i click, and first image is a chessboard, which is one of my passions. Perfect ! Thanks for the playlists
The pawn being on the first rank is bugging me to no end lol
Thank you so much for listening! ? Sounds like this playlist has been found by just the right person 🙂
Chess is awesome ??
college is starting soon and i’ll be travelling to and from home often. this is the perfect playlist to accompany the long bus journeys especially during these upcoming winter months. thank you so much, the time and effort you took to make this is very much appreciated 🙂
Thank you so much for listening! I hope you have a good time at college :)?
A wise turtle ? once said, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. that’s why it’s called present❤❤️ very good music
This playlist could not be more beautifully put together or perfect.
I heard this playlist for ten seconds and I already knew that this is perfect, what wonderful musics
I’m playing this while I’m painting in my room, it’s raining outside and it feels magical
that sounds like fun
What an enchanting introduction…
@DoomSlugs •-• It’s called ‘And then we walk’ by Trevor Kowalski. And I feel you, I loved it so much too that I have been listening to it constantly
It always blow my mind how allot of people try so hard with computers to get certain voices, beats right get the main hook down in like 10 seconds so they could use it in a viral video if that were to happen like TickTock. And this just blows them all out of the water with a fucking piano. Beautiful to let me swim in my own thoughts then try to tell me what I’m thinking.
I wish I knew the name for the opening then I could play it on lope, it’s so beautiful
Ma perché hai fatto ✔️
Indeed
Let’s all agree to leave something good on this earth before we leave.
Agree. You have one person in Belarus?, can start counting (if I wrote all right)
That’s right there is the meaning of life ?️?
@Isaiah Scattercreek ❤
i agree
“she laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night he would have. it terrified him.”
six of crows
@Elise Ramel thank you soooo much I will definitely be reading it ASAP
@Justforcallmekris it’s actually a book quote from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. It’s my favourite book and i RLLY recommend it 🙂
@Justforcallmekris this is so sweet i will try sorry for answering late i didnt notice that this even got likes
Literally begging you to write a book with this line in it as the center of the whole novel ( if you do please send a link to it I would genuinely love to read it)
Languishes my heart
On this lazy summer’s tail
Like a tired old sloop
On this seraphic waters…
Echoes my trivialities
Yet warm quilted
Finds my chest
My memories of her…
… and then
Autumn just tiptoes in
Chills thank u for sharing
Beautiful <3
this is beautiful !>333
???✨✨
wow <3
