You should avoid celine dion no matter your sobriety.
Yeah, @Inds, or I should say, Celine, no way I'm falling for that.
Haha
The thought of somebody peaking on MDMA, jaw rattling and hands in the air listening to the titanic soundtrack is pretty amusing to me. Also the idea of "well, I was thinking about the titanic soundtrack for the party on Friday night, but... you know. Bit melancholic, innit?".
About Bjork, isn't that the singer that weirdo Ricardo Lopez was obsessed with who shot himself because she didn't answer his fan mail or something?
He was recording when he killed himself. The video is all over the net. He wanted to splatter his brains all over a poster of Bjork while her music was playing while a letter with a bomb attached to it was on its way to her. Pretty messed up.
You would think this would motivate me to listen to some of her music but I didn't. I will now, tho. Is it fun to listen on e as well?
Yeah, the whole video is very messed up. I actually watched the entire thing whilst on MDMA. I have never, ever been into watching videos whilst on drugs, especially the likes of MDMA/psychedelics/etc (and certainly not stuff like this, even when sober), but I'd somehow stumbled upon the Bjork/Ricardo Lopez story with a friend, and we couldn't believe that the whole thing had went on, and was available on the internet, and that fucking Goldie (British drum & bass DJ), of all people, was involved. Anyway the torrent finished downloading whilst we were coming up on MDMA, we decided to watch the first minute and instantly got drawn in by the bizarre nature of it. It is very, very fucked up.
Spoiler: We were certainly not expecting that last scene in which you see him insert a gun into his mouth and blow his brains out. I had never seen anything like this before, and to watch somebody kill themselves was just really fucked up. I felt that I could see a pang of regret and realisation in the final moment after he pulled the trigger. It was equal parts sombre, shocking and intriguing. Apprently the FBI were the ones who released the video, in order to deter similar people
Anyway, on a lighter note, there is a lot of vocal electronic music with very powerful lyrics based on love/earth/etc/etc which I think would do the job to invoke the effect sought after in the original post. I personally couldn't be doing with actual love ballads or whatever, but that's just me.
Things like:
Lamb - Gorecki
Melancholy is an inherent part of love/life, and beautiful in and of itself.
Also this apparently somewhat untranslatable Portuguese word seems relevant and pertinent at this point.
saudade
A feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia that is supposedly characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament (especially with reference to songs or poetry).
A deep emotional state of melancholic longing for a person or thing that is absent.
