I listened to Billie Eilish most often for two years. I've never encountered such a soothing sound. Her singing voice, harmonization and intonation calm down. Most of the music I've heard so far has been too annoying. Listening to Foret now is too sentimental and tiring. Nino Rota too. Bacharach is better, but this time it's too much fun and tiring. Because I'm old.

Both Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo are not light in expression and require physical strength to listen. Only Benee or Mae Muller can be healed by other lightness except Billie. Doja Cat and BTS can only be heard when you are in an unusually good condition. Ennio Morricone is too sentimental and Chopin is too lyrical. The Beatles are partially healed.

When I was a student, I hated the Rolling Stones, especially from high school to Ronin❇, but I've gradually come to like it. Deep Purple too. On the contrary, Pink Floyd, who was very impressed in the seventies, gets tired when listening now. Music that does not get tired is the daughter of Debussy, Erik Sati, Debussy, Lisa Ono, and Girl from Ipanema. Piazzolla is also tired now.
❇moratorium not passed university term beforehand entrance to it.

Aldebaran sung by AI is pretty good, but the voice quality sounds a little tight to me. When I was young, I bought two albums and listened to them, but I think that the singing voice at that time had a thicker voice and she could sing without difficulty. Her favorite singer used to have outstanding motor skills. Hikaru Utada is too passionate and needs courage recently to listen. I like the lyrics.

Yes(Musicians), I didn't listen to it a lot even though I bought the album a long time ago, so I think I'll listen to it properly on youtube next time. Even if they listen to it now on progressive rock, they may not feel old. Neither ELP nor King Crimson seem nice to listen to now. For Yes, Steve Howe's guitar is a Spanish healing. Bass Chris Squire is also good.

You can listen to Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Dyna Washington, Mahalia Jackson, Alisa Franklin, Barbra Strizand, Carole King, Diana Ross, Ray Charles. , Frankie Laine, Johnny Cash. Either nowadays' atmosphere matches them for listening to anybody, you know.

I listen to contemporary music only when I sometimes feel uplifted and want only destructive sounds. It's less frequent, but sometimes I want to listen to Xenakis and Terry Riley. John Cage, who sounded very negative when I listened to it a long time ago, is surprisingly healed when I listen to it now. The times are finally approaching him. John Tabner is also great to listen to now.

Ariana Grande's voice and tunes sound Jewish as well as Latin, even with the Arabic scale. Billie Eilish's Arabic scale is even smoother. It's a sensibility close to Bjork. Enya is completely different in Irish. It's an element close to Paul. Gilbert O'Sullivan is nostalgic.

There is a difference of almost two centuries between Luther (1483-1546) and Bach (1685-1750). If you listen to pre-Bach music and read Luther again, you may see it, and if you listen to pre-Bach music again, you may hear it. What is Christianity? We need to go back to the classics. It is the course of attitude and faith in God.

Bob Dylan can be understood the greatness just by reading the lyrics without listening to the song. The Beatles are different. There is a part that cannot be understood without matching music and poetry. Just the melody and rhythm. If it's just the lyrics, I prefer Billy Joel. Chicago also I like lyrics, but they also have great melody and rhythm.

The Beatles were a masterpiece that was spun out in a very miraculous balance, even though the four had completely different personalities. So even if one person is missing, it feels different. It can be said that they were the geniuses created by the times. People who are active now can't be understood until they see a little more. But the atmosphere of the times is similar to that of the 1950s.

It's a pity for us middle-aged generation, but we have to die first without knowing the super veteran era of young musicians and singers. Therefore, by the time I die, I want to carve only the sounds of the true geniuses into my brain and die in the world. Engrave everything from Frank Sinatra and Burt Bacharach to Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
