And if you're in your mid-to-early-twenties with zero direction, colossal debt, and an undiagnosed Internet addiction, maybe the prospect of change is too daunting. But the short term pain of getting your shit together is flimsy compared to the crushing realization you'll feel decades from now when you realize that you've spent an incalculable amount of time provoking fights on racist YouTube channels.

Free classical music. Scary classical music. Celebrate Halloween in macabre style with these bone-chilling masterpieces! Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain The image of brooding, winged ghouls wreaking havoc on a mountain village under cover of night has terrified generations of young children in Walt Disney's Fantasia. Inspired by Russian legend, Mussorgsky's tone poem depicts the dark ritual of a witches' sabbath. Sadly, it was never performed in his lifetime, but the arrangement by his friend Rimsky-Korsakov has become a concert blockbuster. The version used in Fantasia was orchestrated by Leopold Stokowski. Marschner: Der Vampyr (Overture) The vampires in tabloids and teen novels today have nothing on the 19th-century European variety.
Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre Saint-Saëns’s creepy 1874 tone poem is a Halloween classic, depicting the revelry of the Grim Reaper at midnight every year at this time. Herrmann: Psycho Suite Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique: Dreams of a Witches' Sabbath Liszt: Totentanz Liszt loved to flirt with death. The xx. Musicals. 10 metal genres in 3 minutes. Musicovery.
