Just a few words. First, why?
Because our friends from Yandex. Music ”invited us to participate . And because sharing music is an addiction. What is there, at the end of this division, it is never known. But I do not exclude that this is also a way to leave traces of oneself in others (the music is radioactive).
Secondly, Valentine, oh well?
I agree that playlists to the days of saints make up, as a rule, in Catholic municipalities. But actually music is really the basic element of the speech of a lover. She is a conductor, she is a way, she melts hard materials. Of course, she is a sister. Love and music are related by the general proximity to pain. Both are injured and treated. Both fluids, both determine themselves through the rhythm.
So the proposal from our friends from Yandex.Musicism is quite logical, thanks a lot to them.
Thirdly, why are these songs, and not others?
Pure chance. But an accident with the plot. Songs in the upper part of the list, - more sad, in the lower - about hope. The love story sometimes goes in the opposite direction: from hopes to nowhere. But the playlist is a musical (they sing in it), that is, a genre, and the genre always has a humanitarian mission. And he is right.
Fourth, details.
The playlist has two cyclic elements. These are the songs of Italian peasants recorded by Alan Lomax in the mid-1950s. They work like Chicheron, show the road. And two “Cavers” on the thing of Daniel Johnston “True Love Will Find You in the End” , she also knocked into the name of the playlist. By the way, Johnston is one of the sad people on Earth, the Duke of Sorrow, the Padishas of Melancholy. Therefore, if he promises everyone good luck in love, I think we must believe.
