Listening to instrumentals from the silly doo-wee-ooo show is actually something that can be so painful.

#musings about music
#this is specifically about 10's theme in vale decem. the long song in 11's regen piece. and clara's theme in face the raven / clara's diner
#i get psychic damage everytime i simply hear the use of the motifs elsewhere because of the tragic associations those sadder renditions hav
#obviously these songs aren't the only examples in doctor who but they are by far the most emotionally devastating ones for me personally
#and obviously it isn't just leitmotifs either. basically hearing any piece that played during a sad scene gets to me.
#how are you supposed to explain to your coworkers that you're tearing up because of instrumental sound association?
#'yeah sorry these violins and humming sounds summoned vivid images of my favourite character dying/leaving and it made me sad'
#love that composers can just straight up pavlov bell your emotions by getting you to associate a melody with a sad scene
#an addition to this is doctor who instrumentals that make me nostalgic because I associate them with my own past
#like 'this is gallifrey: our childhood. our home'. that song was one of my alarms for a good long while back when i was 15ish
#so it kinda transports me back to that time in my life whenever i hear it. music really is its own little kind of time travel
#i am very much looking forward to the continuing psychological damage murray gold will inflict upon me in the new season
#and to have previously uplifting character leitmotifs used against me and forever be contaminated with sad feelings. love to see it
#(also: not a instrumental but damn 'the stowaway' has no right being as good as it is. who knew a christmas sea shanty could sound so great
