classical and heavy metal...

Yes+no...Love classical except most opera...Love some heavy metal but not headbanging music...Love most jazz but not experimental...Not keen on country unless it's more folksy...Love reggae+celtic...Love trying music from other countries...
My mood+time of day call the shots...

sentimental detour...

PASSING THOUGHT: A little bit of romantic sentimentalism seems to be luring me...
This is a bit 'girly'...(apologies)...
The mood will pass...I'm sure it will...
But I do like it for now...soothing...https://t.co/YRqFSMYrMS
