Members bassgirl9 Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm noticing a melancholy theme in the tunes you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seraphim7s Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 When it comes to shoegazin', Spacemen3 are the real deal I was kinda disappointed by Souvlaki to tell the truth, esp since Eno was in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Avalanchemaster Posted September 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm noticing a melancholy theme in the tunes you post. I guess sometimes I am a morose SOB. Mayhap I will try to post some more upbeat stuff.....of course it could have something to do with fall fast approaching and the fact that I have Seasonal Affective Disorder...

Just making sure you're okay. Speaking of SAD, I'm thinking of getting a sunlight lamp this year to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Avalanchemaster Posted September 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2008 Just making sure you're okay. Speaking of SAD, I'm thinking of getting a sunlight lamp this year to help. hey thanks. that is very kind of you to care so much about me, a virtual stranger. yeah, I know how to deal with my depressive tendencies now....the full-spectrum lamp does wonders for you. You see everyone needs the vitamins (and essentially the serotonin) that the sun's rays provide....(without serotonin production, you cannot properly produce melotonin-the polar opposite of serotonin- which is the neurotransmitter that allows you to sleep....without sleep, emotions and thought get stuck in a vicious cycle of nonexistence and "muddling")in those gray fall/winter months, this sun is hard to come by. My psychiatrist says 30 minutes in the lamp is like 10 minutes of full-on sunlight, which is the best you can get sometimes in the winter. I find it helps me. I guess I just came out of the womb melancholic. I find sadness to be one of the most real emotions there is...(after all, there is not dark without light; no happiness without sadness)and it lends to creativity, as long as that muse does not swallow one whole with its tempest... guess I like slow, sad ambient music quite a bit.....but really my tastes go all over the board. best of luck to anybody else that may have SAD...
