Also moving this here because of the more appropriate topic: I've been with Radio Rivendell since at least 2011, and I looked back to see if my reasons for listening to fantasy music had changed over time. Before I started a family and changed careers, I was rather involved in role-playing games with a couple of groups. Fantasy music often was an inspiration as I created characters or I worked on a fantasy world. Since my priorities have changed rather significantly, I find that fantasy music is more often nostalgic or sets a mood to insert a little more mystery and life into every day responsibilities. I also enjoy revealing my enjoyment of fantasy music to my children so that it may spark their imaginations. What are your reasons for listening to fantasy music? Has it changed over time?
