Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now
bent@feddit.dk 1 day agoI’ve found a lot of the same as you, listening to albums changed me for the better.
Just recently I bought the Horizon Forbidden West sound track on Qobuz at a sale, paid less than 10 Euro per hour. Its weird, I don’t pay attention to the music while playing the game, but listening to the soundtrack almost take me into that world.

I’m realizing how much I missed growing up by just listening to compilation albums and burning popular songs and listening to the same songs over and over. Albums can tell stories, and it’s interesting listening to how the songs flow together.
I’ve been listening to a lot of soundtracks from Skyrim to Outer Wilds, and anything by Hans Zimmer, Ludwig Goransson, and Ramin Djwadi.

Totally agree! On the other hand I have this whole universe of albums to learn to appreciate now! I’m also getting away from traditional social media, the 24-hour news cycle, porn etc and I find that just sitting down and listen to music and let my mind wander to be an amazing experience. Would recommend to literally anyone

I wish you the best! The only social I have left is Lemmy (do most of my scrolling on RSS now so there’s no comments) and as of 3 weeks ago have officially cut out all big tech (grapheneos on phone, linux on PC and laptops, no Google/Amazon etc). It’s been a long 2 year journey but I feel like I accomplished something I can be proud of.
I’ve since finished a novel for the first time in years, started another, and listened to more diverse music than I ever have.
I still keep up with news (france24, fairly unbiased) but only because I feel like it’s my responsibility to stay as informed as I’m capable of, especially now with fascism on the rise again.
Keep it up!
