Music I like

I think the best way to describe it is folksie indie.

I realize I (at least lately) like songs that are clean sounding. The melody, guitar, lyrics, bass, drums are distinguishable. Things like Postal Service and Mumford and Sons. There's this nostalgic melancholy to it that speaks of purer times. It's Romantic (and not in the sense of romantic that people think, but from the Romantic Era, when industrialization started to happen and the poets and writers started to look back to nature and to a time when things were less tainted and more beautiful).

I suppose that arguably things that are "tainted" can be beautiful. I think though, that if things pure and things beautiful are something of the past, we are definitely missing something in the present. And I mean pure and beautiful as separate things. There are things that can be beautiful and unpure, things that are pure and unbeautiful and so forth. I don't know perhaps I'm talking about them together. Lately all my thoughts have been a jumble. I wonder what that means. ADD? Schizophrenia? Insanity? Oh, psychology. Such an interesting study. Perhaps I've just been studying too much. My brain's completely fried.

At any rate, I suppose going back to music and Romanticism, it's true. I like songs that evoke the past. Of feelings, thoughts, experiences that are no longer new. The full enjoyment of life without a worry about the future or the consequences of one's actions.

I just want to be irresponsible again. It's a terrible thing, really.

That's what the music I listen to reminds me of, I think. It helps me think too but I think I'm going crazy. Though, in thinking so, I'm relieved at the proof that I'm not crazy.

아휴~~ 모르겠다. It's such a steep slope to get to where I want to be.
