I would cry. Cry myself to sleep knowing I’m never good enough, no matter how hard I try no matter what I do he will never love me back. After everything I’ve tried he won’t love me, because I’m not good enough. I’m not strong I’m not smart I’m not good looking. There’s other girls better than me in every way possible, I will still try but deep down inside I know I don’t have a shot, even if I stay by his side and treat him better then I treat myself he will never love me back. He will complain about girls and say there is no one meant for him. I’ll still be sitting there waiting for my turn, then one day he will start talking to me differently. Is he liking me? I will be thinking. I will revert back to my old ways. Thinking that he loves me and developing hope again. He will start talking to me daily, I try to mask my true feelings but I can’t. Look me dead in the eye you see a hopeful kid, after a while I will confess to him. Saying I love him and want to be by his side.

I've been listening to his music since I was 8, and I'm now 20 and still enjoy it.🥰💙💚

Interesting perspective. Although some people think his music was unoriginal and conservative in nature, in my view at the centre of Soviet Union’s revolutionary storm, he wrote some of the most powerful and enigmatic music of the late Romantic era.

The war inspired stuff is INTENSE. I usually go for the Haitink symphonies on Decca. Definitely check out the String Quartet no.8 arranged for string orchestra and timpani on the Alpha label under Paavo Jarvi if you like the intense stuff. It'll melt your mind. https://open.spotify.com/album/1hpsrBM5McTbvRPSZIxgPY

Boulez didn't like Shostakovich. He said following: "Shostakovich plays with clichés most of the time, I find. It’s like olive oil, when you have a second and even third pressing, and I think of Shostakovich as the second, or even third, pressing of Mahler." But I can't care less about his opinion here.

Some of his symphonies are very good, but overall I prefer his string quartets. I'll need to listen more to his works.

The Largo from his 5th symphony is one of my all time favorite lyrical movements.

The great thing about Shostakovich is his ambivalent tonality. It doesn't sound like some random notes like Bartok and Schoenberg, but it's also not the usual tonal late Romantic stuff like Mahler. While listening to him my brain is constantly searching for patterns, and while he switches between chaos and order instantly it's like I have these mathematical orgasms inside my head.
