I will check them out! I use to think banjo was a ridiculous sounding instrument, but over the years I've come to love it, especially when used unconventionally in a more somber way.Kavi wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 2:53 pm Although many groups might have these ideas behind their music and many try creating a music to sound like "soundtrack for kali-yuga" I for one like at least some Finnish neofolk groups like Tervahäät. Some of their albums give this very "kurja" and "ankea" (miserable?) soundscape and even some songs have banjo in it which I find very funny.

I'm listening Gustav Holst's Planets suite and right now is going the hymn of Saturday. I listen these pieces quite often on specific days.

This is a song about weeping, but for me it is so mellow that it makes me smile rather than cry.Polyhymnia wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 5:03 am I'm still in crybaby mode so I only want to listen to music that makes me want to cry, so if anyone has any more recommendations for sad songs, I'll take them!

I haven't really listened to these misheard lyrics videos for years - my then favourite was a Nile song - but I just found out that they've made one from O Fortuna. This is an instant classic!

At least my friend told me as a fact that he died. Stangely enough, I haven't checked it ever but go do that right now.
EDIT: So my friend had wrong information! Damn, sorry.

Speaking of Blixa, have you guys seen EN documented by Shogo Ishii? It's bliss.
