music question/offering
Have you ever listened to an album that felt more like a ride than a series of songs?
Only a precious few pieces of music have ever had that effect on me. There's KLF's Chill Out album, Boards of Canada's Geogaddi, Laurie Anderson's Big Science, The Butterfield Blues Band's track "East-West"... and this.

I'd love to hear yours.

@zx3 Yeah. Yeah, I have those kinds of songs too.
This one takes me back to Seattle 2012. So of course, I don't listen to it very often. It still kinda smells like burning wood and melting plastic.
re: music question/offering
@zx3 Oh god.
See, that one just makes me shudder in fear of the Test Card Girl from the BBC. That freakin' show...
But it's one of those like "What A Wonderful World" that probably doesn't *have* any happy contexts left. For anyone. From innumerable different sources. o_o;

@zx3 Oh, see, my closest equivalent for that one _was_ "Pictures Of You." It was the very last song I listened to with my 2nd girlfriend from college, sprawled out next to her on the floor at the local Goth Queen's party. I knew it was good and over for us, we had already broken up and I was due to move to Seattle for the 1st time fairly soon. It was a very painful song for me.
And then she was kind enough to go Full Texas Jesus Crazy and release me permanently from having to give a fuck about her, and now that song's just fine. ^___^

@zebratron2084 @zx3 ...
...I got one. I mean, ok, it's a mashup, and I suppose the context of this particular video is a sad one, given it's a tribute to the singer.
But I can't perceive it as unhappy, somehow.
Ymmv.

@Momentrabbit @zx3 oh geeeeez i gotta nope out of that one instantly-- it's not that it's bad, it's TOO good. too many feels, especially now that he's gone. just too pretty to take.

@zebratron2084 When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? by Billie Eilish, Haunted by Poe(but it was designed as a companion piece to a book, so, almost cheating).
re: music question/offering
@hystericempress I... I am finding myself liking Billie Eilish a lot more than I expected to.
re: music question/offering
@zebratron2084 yeah, she RAPIDLY shot up my list of favorites. She has such a UNIQUE sound and mood...

@zebratron2084
Röyksopp's "Melody A.M." album.
It tends to weaken as it goes on, but it has a strong contiguous start.
