Gothic Music?
What precisely constitutes the word 'Gothic' when used as a descriptive adjective for art or media? The only answer to this question covering all bases, would involve moods and emotions. True 'Gothic' nature leaves the observer with a particular sense of longing... a dark, almost-forlorn Pathos of a sweet, ancient & sentimental nature. Such Pathos is not normally an acquired taste, but instead a disposition present from birth... somber, solitary, existing on the far-edge of the subconscious heartlands. We hope visiting Gothics enjoy the Offerings to follow.
