Do you ever enjoy some really dark music?

What is your favourite?

I hope this works...trying to put in LOVE OF THE LOVELESS, sung by the Eels...have loved this since I first heard it.
On my computer, it looks like the YouTube video is too large for the screen? Did it come out okay?

  • These are just remarkable, Glis...
    The second one, directly correlating both with the work of Carl Jung, and with Drunvalo...I had no idea such music existed. Soothing and relaxing, reassuring as well...

  • I am delighted and somewhat surprised by your answer, Pearl, love of quiet can be quite rare and special.

    Depends what you mean by dark. I like "The End" by the doors, I guess that can be considered dark. The Velvet Underground did a few, too. Or dark like Black Sabbath, that's a bit heavier?

  • Oh Righty1, I meant to get back to you...I spent a most lovely time listening to the Doors, THE END...
    I liked them a lot in my Haight=Ashbury days, 1967-69...
    So I poked around and learned the history of that song...yes so dark and lovely sometimes just nothing else will do...from my perspective now, 2017, I ended up contemplating the idea this song might be actually quite existential...tapping into/from the existential despair of our era...

    Anyway, ty!

  • Having been a western classical music enthusiast for many years, I have missed a lot of music from other genres. This, along with contributions from your other responders, is my first introduction to what you call dark music, and I like it. I think the video enhances the enjoyment.

  • Western classical music tends to be my first love also, Wisdom Tooth!
    Also appreciate American jazz, and then there are times for this dark genre also...

    Dark music does nothing for me. I'd rather listen to what I've always listened to for the last 15 years.

  • But Zack, you do not specify what your music is, that you have appreciated for so long? 
    If I may inquire?

    Yes, I have a separate playlist for my dark music called "Internal Bleach" filled with the darkest of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Doors, some other stuff, and Mozart's Requiem in D minor.

    Definitely I like dark music. I'm open to all kinds of music and am drawn often to what might be called dark music.

    One of my favorite composers is Krzysztof Penderecki. Here is my favorite album, "Matrix 5," of his music performed by The Polish National Radio Symphony. They simply transform his music in to a living entity!
    My favorite piece on the album/CD is "De Natura Sonoris No. 2," which I will post here.
    If you have nine minutes or so, I recommend listening from start to finish.
    Penderecki's musical ideas are unlike anything I've heard.
    I love the guy!
    :)
