Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

what is it about melancholy songs that hit so right? https://youtu.be/lAwYodrBr2Q?si=H77KY6FPaoKkKobe
I have to be in the mood for them. When a good melancholy song hits it’s so wonderful. Good songwriting’s a true talent. But I’m weird, might love a song today and tomorrow it’s boring. User name explains it better than I can. It’s by Elvis & not the band. If I’m happy I like calming old songs like The Carpenters, 70s soft rock, etc. Sad or bad mood Zeppelin, thankfully it’s not frequently. I’m all over the place with music other than about five artists I listen to all the time.
ah Led Zeppelin. don't you know rock n roll is the devil? ;) and my dad was just sharing the carpenters with me. too cheesy for my taste
I do love the very old rock n roll (not new crap) in addition to so much more types of music. Well, the devil is everywhere, especially now. I’m not willing to let him in. I saw an Instagram story about the devil in children’s tv & movies. That’s scary! I never thought of things like that until I had a grandchild. Thankfully my daughter and I grew up in a different era.
too cheesy for my taste I get that. I listen to a song here and there occasionally. I don’t think I could take it daily. Look up the story of Karen Carpenter. She was very talented & died way to young. I like Manila’s also🤦🏻♀️ It’s nostalgic for me hearing songs of my childhood. That cheesy slow music is great for calming a baby.
