0 If this is your writing, I'd say it's too heavy and pretentious, but perhaps we need more context. Relax. 0-

0Thanks. Then it's alright, because it's just the description of a dramatic instrumental song, the dark side of romanticism.0-

00I read your line five times before I realized your word is "unrelated." I read it as "unrelenting," because of the context. Do you really mean, "unrelated"?? It doesn't seem very "confrontational."02br
