Was perfect

I don't buy as many CDs as I used to, taking into consideration a few things. I'm hearing a lot about college graduates and students having the worst job prospects in decades, and unfortunately, am seeing firsthand examples of this. There's not really anything I can say about that. Just work harder, everybody? Anyways, forget that bleakness!
I broke down and bought the Black Swan OST and some other things a few days ago. I don't buy soundtrack albums very often. But Clint Mansell did such a wonderful job adapting Swan Lake for his own nefarious and haunting purposes. Tchaikovsky continues to resonate and inspire. If my future and that of my peers seems uncertain, at least there's still wonderful music in the world.
To me that's more satisfying and comforting than "just work harder".
