Comfort listening.
We all know about comfort food, and some of us have comfort reads, but do any of you have comfort listening? You know, the music that you listen to when you need comfort, when all about is black and dark. It may be the stuff that confirms how sad and evil the world is, or it may be the stuff that lifts you our of the gloom and makes you feel "With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world".
I'm currently listening to one of my favourite comfort pieces: Ralph Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending" and if that doesn't work, the neighbours may be a loud,full performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. I haven't played it on the new stereo yet. Time to see how it goes. Followed, possibly, by the Waifs and "Lighthouse"
Here, watch this. Have some cheer.
