No. Your music sucks. Stay there.

>Be me
>Not OP
I actually like the idea for a thread though. I need book recommendations and I think linking someone to your taste in music is a good way to get a sense of your taate in lit. Too bad Veeky Forums has 0 taste in music, it's somehow even worse than /mu/

Not on youtube for whatever reason

The issue stems from the fact that most people here don't feel confident enough in their ability to grapple down pieces to themes and moods concrete enough to be a jumping-off point. Recommending a book off a book is one thing, because there're plenty of established critics whose words can be parroted, but actually having to digest anything to a core takes a level of critical thinking that some here might have- but it's unlikely they'll feel... again, confident in their understandings. Most of us are too young here anyway to have a firm grasp on anything more than one or two subjects anyhow, and the chances that someone's going to post something that can be directly related to the subject of anyone who sees it is pretty low.
Granted, you can take the subject matter of a song and compare it to the subject matter of a book, but that's like comparing 'plot' to 'style', and stylistic resemblances are what I think we're going for here. That's why Art/Book rec threads are generally so disappointing (eg, if I post a Darger watercolor in there, I'll get recs for Lolita instead of Kathy Acker or Frank Baum).

For music in particular, I think it also hurts that most of what's being posted here transcends the feel of everyday life.
For example, Colour Haze makes me want to recommend something like an adventure epic set on the Eurasian Steppe - horselords pillaging with occasions of peace out on the plains, doin' mystic shit - but that's 'shitty genre fiction', so why would you want to read that? For a more 'literary' rec that loses some of the mood though, I'll say The Song of King Gesar, or maybe Marco Polo's travel writings. I dunno; not my area of expertise.

I like the idea for the thread too though. So here's this:

specifically from like 3:11 until the end.
