Usage of music in videos for reels and TikTok Hi, I’m new to this content creation area, and I always have big doubts about using music in videos. Right now I am making a video for the Ig and TikTok profile of an architect and I don’t know from which platforms I can download free music without having any trouble with licenses. Also, how do you find the best music for your videos, and with p…

Avalon by Roxy Music is one of the most underrated songs ever. Roxy Music is a decently known band, but not super popular. Their last album Avalon in 1982 was probably their best Album, and the song “Avalon” on that album is one of the most underrated songs ever imo. It is not some completely obscure song, but I still feel like it is generally underrated compared to other popular 80’s music/songs and is not…

What’s the one song that changed your perspective on music? We all have that one song that made us hear music in a completely new way, whether it pushed you to explore a new genre or made you appreciate music at a deeper level. For me, it was Street Spirit (Fade Out) by Radiohead, the moment I heard it, I realized there was so much more to music than I thought. What song changed the way you think about m…

What movie soundtrack opened a door to a whole new world of music for you, and showed you what music can do? I probably couldn’t pin just one down but I was always in awe what music can do for a movie sequence. Not only the composed music but I mean tracks / artists that are handpicked so well, that they are able to elevate a scene to epic status because of the music. Think for example Pixies for the final Fight Club scene, Eddie Vedder for Into the Wi…

Does music save lives? I personally think that music does save lives and I don’t think it shouldn’t be cringe or cliche to think that. You may be in a situation where no one cares but the moment you listen to your favourite artist/band, everything seems to become normal, even though it may just be temporary. submitted by /u/Frostiecz

Darkroom music? Back in my 20’s, I spent some time as a pro’s studio assistant. He listened to opera in the darkroom and I actually enjoyed it which is funny because I hate opera. Then photography fell out of my life (work, kids…). Now, I’m in my 70’s and am getting back into it – doing darkroom work again and exploring digital editing. If you’re into that t…

Is it normal to listen to music all day? (First time writing one of these so I’m sorry if I couldn’t deliver what I think to its full extent) Well let me be honest, I know some ppl are gonna say it is normal and all that, but my question goes deeper than I initially thought. My true question is it Normal to WANT to listen to music at any given time? I like to spend any spare time liste…

How did your music taste change over the years? I’m 28, Growing up I used to listen to lots of emo style music, some of it I still really like, mainly Green Day but I lost interest in lot of Linkin Park songs, listening to them for fun from times to times but not as heavily. Recently I really enjoy Pearl Jam, Nirvana and classics like Pink Floyd and Beatles. Sadly still not a big Hendrix fan….

What’s the craziest piece of music trivia you know? For me it’s that ABBA was offered $1,000,000,000 (yes a billion) to get back together in 2000 and turned it down. I don’t know what I wouldn’t do for $250 million dollars (4 members in the band). Like I’d literally let someone cut off my leg. What are some great pieces of music trivia? submitted by /u/randomvegasposts

Music is a gift Does anyone else use music as a coping mechanism? Whether it’s listening to music, writing music, or listening to music while you are writing your music. I love certain lyrics and how powerful they are. I feel like music could be seen as a gift but for other people it can be an annoyance. But I don’t really care what people say. I just care abou…

Latin Music? My (24M) girlfriend (22F) loves Latin music. She isn’t Hispanic or anything but she’s had friends that are and she is really into it. I’ve never been into it since I don’t speak the language, but does anyone have any recommendations for me to get into it? Usually I like classic rock, crooner, and soul music, but I want to make an effort to liste…

Bossa Nova (aka “Elevator Music”) is one of the greatest music genres ever devised. I know people love to throw shade at bossa nova, dismissing it as “boring uninspired elevator music” or background noise, but hear me out: bossa nova is a masterpiece subtlety, elegance, and pure emotion. First of all, the rhythm is unmatched. It’s this perfect blend of samba’s energy and jazz’s sophistication, making it both relaxing and engagi…

The Weirdest Music Video I’m just curious what the most strange music video you’ve ever seen is. For me, it’s Don’t Panic by Coldplay (also Trouble by Coldplay since they share the same style). The songs are good, but the graphics and design of it are kind of like a weird dream. I still like them though, because they’re unique and different versus other music videos. To…
