Darkness through the light

This symphony just scares me so badly. It brings such a chill down my spin that it will make me have the hardest time not looking behind my back every five minutes. I’m a person who can listen to anything and be perfectly fine with it but this symphony is the only music that I refuse to listen to. I adore classic music and can listen to it for ages but the moment I hear Symphony Fantastique come on, I turn it off a quick as possible.

Symphonie Fantastique has deep and dark music, compared to most of the composer that I have heard who writes happy songs or relaxing songs. I had to listen to this group in 6th grade, my sister was in the band and the band director was playing this song. Ever since then I gave this symphony nothing but hatred. The 5th moment is one of my least favorite from them, they play the song in a really loud manner but also there is this one part in which the brass family plays that I can imagine a person slowly waking in for the kill in an old mystery movie; an evil grin on his faces as he moves, raising the knife that he has in his hand up then BAM.

I will always refuse to listen to them while being alone at home or while driving in the car at night, it’s just not what you expect from a symphony.
