Reply to Making my spouse a mixtape!! by DandyfelloxX

There is some great advice here. So I thought I would tell a story about the mix tape I made my now wife back in 1993. We had gotten together before she had to return to France to finalise her living arrangements etc. So apart from lots of overseas calls I made a mix tape for her with my take on Leftfield love songs which included The Ship Song by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters and Collectors

Not your traditional love songs but she loved it and it represented how I was feeling at the time.

Reply to What’s some good music to play while stressed or anxious by Glum_Fun_760

Beethoven's 6th Symphony the "Pastoral". I used to play it to get to sleep after school on a Thurs before having to work a night shift. It is amazingly calming.

Reply to A theory on the music that we love the most. by willk95

The thing is that if you don't consciously seek out new stuff you continue at those points in your lives. There was a book on music that was edited by George Martin and in his piece he said something to the effect that "you will never grow old if you know what is in the top 40". I think he is right and I wish I didn't give the book away because my gf at the time wanted to give it to her nephew. But it means that you have to work at knowing the new stuff you don't have to like it just be aware of it. I must admit I don't want to know because I can't stand the thought of Taylor Swift it happens when you get old.
