Music personality
Rainy-Day Balladeer
- Laid-back
- Dark
- Retro
- Organic
Slow, sad songs with guitar and piano, mostly from before 2000.
You like music for staring out of a window: a quiet guitar, a piano, a voice close to the mic, a song that lets the sadness sit. Your picks run calm and dark, lean to the decades before 2000, and favor songs that sound played rather than programmed. Folk ballads, soul, classic rock's slow songs and 90s alternative ballads all fit.
Songs that fit
- The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel
- Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers
- Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
- Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.
- Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
Well-known songs that ABTune's music catalog itself rates laid-back, dark and organic, released before 2000.
One trait away
- Thunder Purist: high energy instead of laid-back
- Porch Poet: bright instead of dark
- Candlelit Confessor: modern instead of retro
- Smoky Noir Detective: electric instead of organic
