Shagger Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 When I think "gothic" in terms of music, I think of dark, melodic, brooding symphonies with deep, bassy electric guitar riffs and operatic, haunting vocal styles that doesn't shy away from getting a little rough when the need arises. In other words, something like this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Another Voltaire, and my personal favorite of all his music: LYRICS --- When I find the living a bore There's a place I go I answer the call, go over a wall Where the crosses are all in a row I mind the trees, get down on my knees There's a hole in the gate I look around, that I won't be found And sit down next to his grave If you squirm at the Conqueror Worm This is no place for thee Or if you fright at the mere sight Of the corpse of my Annabel Lee If you fear there's something you hear A heart beating under the floor Still your heart, there's no need to start It's just me having tea with Lenore Sit here on the ground Dead leaves in the trees all around you Come enter this land Take this book in your hand If you find the living a bore There's a place you can go Answer the call, go over the wall Where the crosses are all in a row Mind the trees, get down on your knees Sneak in just like the breeze Look around, though you won't be found It's just you, Edgar Allen and me Sit here on the ground Dead leaves in the trees all around you Come enter this land Take this book in your hand Edited July 18, 2021 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 I'm really liking Voltaire. Can someone give me history or reasoning for gothic 'brooding symphonies' as @Shagger mentioned? I'm really fascinated by the dark/light melodies. And @Empire I've found amazing music. Thanks!

Goths are typically drawn to darker, more bleak music styles, because it's how we view the world. While I don't dress the part anymore, I still consider myself a goth in the fullest sense of the world. When you look at a rose you see the petals. We see the thorns.

I feel myself falling more into Goth and because I used to draw, I see both petals and thorns. But in life, yeah I'm surprised I just don't skip it all and look at the vine.
