How presumptuous. Have you considered that people can dislike songs in genres they can enjoy? For instance because the artist uses sliding vocals and sings a song about nostalgia in a minor key

Sometimes I click on something, just because I think, "Okay - that's SO weird I've GOTTA listen!" Most of the time, it IS too weird, & I'm disappointed. BUT... in this case, I like it. The thing about music - or ANY form of art - is how it makes you feel. What's your reaction? Some people's taste is so 'refined' - so narrowed down - that they almost CAN'T have a genuine, open & honest reaction to anything. They filter their perceptions so much, they wouldn't be able to tell if they ever DID have a positive reaction outside their own rigid intellectual standards. In fact, that would probably make them hate it even more! I once bought a shirt for the sole reason that it jumped out at me as something I'd never pick out for myself! It became one of my favorites. I think we MUST challenge our own tastes sometimes; test our own perceptions; like a little sorbet to cleanse the palette. Otherwise, we get locked in & stale. I like what you've done with the arrangement; making it sound more 'atmospheric.' Thanks, guys. tavi.
