As a harpsichordist, I can't be but moved and yet a bit smiling when I hear these Baroque pieces played with such a Romantic touch. People who don't pay attention or just are unaware of it haven't realised how deeply "Romantic" Baroque composers could be in the expression of their sensibility. If you are keen on Romanticism but are eager to discover the Baroque time, I highly recommend you to listen to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's works which are an invitation to the universe of Pre-Romanticism spirit at the time of Late Baroque (probably the most talented Pre-Romantic composer of his time in my humble opinion). Be also aware of the infinite "intimate répertoire" made for solo or a few instruments which is very similar to the Romantic composers' conception of music. I'm not a specialist but I'm sure one could find the same musical ideas even earlier back to Rinascimento or Middle Ages. All that to say that sensitiveness and the depth of emotions through music are basically timeless and that we, folks from 2021, are so lucky to have the possibility to experience them all despite the enigmas about their genuine interpretation which probably distort their original nature. It's indeed a paradise lost but I'm the happiest seeker of lost paradises.

[@Vetrarbreytin]

​@pythonrice ​ Wise words. It just highlights the fact that human beings suffer no "category" nor any reductive definition of themselves through Art. I am always disappointed when this topic is broached because I used to quote a very illustrative example from my personal experience, of a poem written by an old Norse skald whose his name escapes me. When I read it for the first time, I hadn't been told about its time, I spontaneously concluded that it was a beautiful text written by some very good Romantic poet because it was so passionate, melancholic, gathering all the characteristics of a Romantic expression. I was so astonished when I discovered that it had been written before the 10th century whereas I would have imagined a date around1820-1830. All that to say that indeed, anyone has the faculty to feel, express and share through an artistic mediation aside from his time. I hope my English was understandable for that it is not my mother tongue.

[@magdalenae3723]

In one way or another, something magical happens when you listen classical music. You disconnect yourself from reality, living in the moment of an illusion that feels like eternity. And in that void you realize that, nothing lasts. Love, passion, pain, grief, regret, anger. You become present. This realisation is naturally so honest and pure that brings you clarity. I still manage to explain this bizarre state of a frozen mind processing so many emotions in such peace. I am grateful for this fresh experience.

I am in love with gray clouds, rainy days, and foggy skies. There is a ethereal beauty that comes with the sights, sounds, and physical sensations that come with such a setting. The cold breeze gently wrapping around you, comforting but in a somber way. When you breathe, there is a subtle cool moist that feels as if it fills the path through your nose and wind pipe. The harshness of the droplets of rain as they come crashing into puddles of water, layered over stone or cement as they’ve travelled through hundreds of meters from the sky… It gives a feeling of sharp fragility to the plummeting water, a symphony of notes you could attribute to the harsh percussion of a piano key. I am a person who only sees rain during the monsoon season, as where I live, the normal sights include coarse sand, saguaro cacti, and heat reflections that only exist in the distance. Which is to say, I live in a desert, albeit an urbanized one. It is always such a sight to see big clouds in the distance, whether they are light and fluffy like poodle dog fur, or a blanket of ethereal gray. I wish I could experience rainy skies forever.

A cold wind blew, and misty rain peppered the man's face as he made his way home. Slightly shivering, he drew his overcoat closer to his body. The hustle and bustle of the Czech city streets was slowly fading into a distant, echoed emptiness. It was just as he liked it. He could easily organize the tempest of thoughts raging in his mind. No distractions, nothing vying for his attention. It was just him within the emptying world. As the mist turned into droplets and the falling rain pierced his coat, the man quickened his pace. Each step he took became a rhythm, a dance of harmony with the spatter of precipitation. With each stride the sounds lulled him further inward, and soon, all that could be sensed was the pounding of his shoes across the bricked pavement. He didn't mind the cold, nor did he the windy rain; these external elements besieging his body couldn't truly bother him. Not with what he was facing. [If you come across this comment, please continue the story, writing whatever the music brings to mind. I decided the location being Czech as the bridge in the photo is in Prague, Czech Republic. Happy writing!]

How could it be that after all of this time his past was finally catching up with him. He had spent so much time on his knees in the Cathedral - the smell of incense, the flickering of the candles in dark red glass, the stone walls and dark wood pews were his only comfort.

[@yuriimai7293]

Please, continue? 🥺

[@MG-eg7ue]

Finally, he reached his residence, a small but quaint little domicile tucked away from the main streets and cacophony of the everyday bustle. His sanctuary, in the seemingly upside and crooked world. His thoughts retreating as he entered the foyer, the sound of now hard pouring rain faded into the background like an unwanted visitor kept outside. The smell of old leather and seasoned wood filled his nose, water still dripping from an old and weary face, onto ancient rugs that have lived a thousand lives. He undressed and slowly walked to the kitchen, his feet locked in a dance of creaks and sounds with the underlying wood floors. How many years as he walked this same route, putting the kettle on and retiring to sit in his study, where he knew the swirling thoughts would come again, some to inspire him, others to torture him, even if but for a short sequence of healthy self-doubt and depression. He knew what was ahead, long hours of trying to get his racing mind down on paper, to organize the madness into some kind of sense and if he was lucky, artistic expression. Some nights went well, others not. The dim lights glowed as if to invite him back into the recesses of his mind, a place that, while not always a pleasant place to be, it was one that he was familiar with, a place he could find some brief solace and respite. Alas, the man opened his eyes abruptly, already sitting in his chair, the half-drunken tea next to him, cold and lifeless. The rain had intensified, and the lights were starting to flicker. How long had he been away? What had he accomplished during his dreamwalk? Perhaps, he wasn't waking up, perhaps he was just starting to embark on yet another adventure within the dimly lit corridors of his psyche...

[@BMnJoi]

He took the final sip of tea, eyes closed. The scents and tastes teased their way through his sinuses and across his taste buds. He set the cup down softly, frail hands trembling to do so. He stood, joints cracking and popping, and began the meticulous cleaning process to prepare his cup and kettle for tomorrow's batch. This was his life now. The same walk each day, the same tea to settle him for each night. He lay down to rest as the thunder rumbled outside, knowing full well he'd get none. The daydreams were filled with nonsense. But at night, they came from a darker place inside. The place that knew exactly what he'd done. The place he couldn't refuse, as his sleeping mind was powerless to fight it. So he stayed awake another night. And by the morning, he was ready to fetch the tea leaves they'd been growing in the community garden together. It was always a mystery, how the leaves stayed alive all these years. He hadn't the capacity to care for them, nor anything really. And yet they were always there. So he always showed up. Some days, his mind would wander too far, and expect her to be there. Those days were the hardest to get through.

you know people do not have to be depressed or in a dark place in their lives or saddened to enjoy slow tempo music some of us just find it relaxing a great escape from our fast paced or the fast lane of ones chaotic life. thanks for the upload

[@darkdemon5865]

Title of video says Dark Academia Classical Music. I don't see here any references to sadness or depression. Is it because of the word 'dark'? If something is dark it doesn't mean it's sad, depressive or gloomy. Darkness is fascinating and mysterious.

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm3093]

@@darkdemon5865 I explained it all in my comment. Listen I can go rounds with you and any random allotment of degenerates, perverts, and (in your case) some kind of dark demon You really should put more effort into your replies, your word choice is more than an adequate personality profile. The more you try to lash out your own demons on people, the more you expose your true nature. Depressed demons in dark places really should not try to troll. Its not becoming. Darkest Days Demon 👍🏻😎

[@Idle_Wisdom]

"Dark academia" is just another way of saying "academia" once you realize what a unpleasant, never-ending, and insatiably demanding a master that life is. Good playlist though.

I truly am thankful for your channel it has become a part of my daily routine and a great source of comfort for me in my home I'd also like to thank you for crediting Luke Faulkner as he truly is a very talented musician within his own work, and does due diligence to every song he covers! Lots of love. 🎶
