Me when I single handedly drop the class average by 40%:

I was drinking water now it has turned into wine.

I remember going to the theatre with my mom in 1794 when this dropped, surreal experience.

Vivaldi being referred to as "Him", Beethoven being "God", and Tchaikovsky being "Pyotr F*CKING Tchaikovsky" is hilarious. We need more of these videos with a sense of humor

i felt like i need to study for my anatomy exam in the candlelight

"Ah yes everything falling into place" Me playing chess against my dad as a kid and he's letting me win

I was writing an essay listening to this, and I felt like a writer slowly descending into madness. 100% would recommend

*This playlist gives me the urge to blow someone else's birthday candles.*

Starting with Vivaldi’s Winter was a total power move

Listening to this while furiously doing my math homework as if my integrals are written in the blood of my enemies.

I was casually writing in my note book while listening to this in my headphones suddenly I turned into Yagami Light.

Listening to this in my car makes me feel like I’m in a royal carriage, being driven around my newly conquered kingdom

“Every fairytale needs a good old-fashioned villain. You need me, or you’re nothing.”

when I finally graduate, you are going to receive an honorary degree, because every single one of my essays were written while listening to your playlists.

"If you have the will to win, you have achieved half your success; if you don’t, you have achieved half your failure.” - David Ambrose

"If this message has made it to your hands, then my victory has been secured. My agents have breached your walls and distracted your guards with this letter just long enough so that the traitors in your midst may put a red stocking in with the white linens being washed. Consider yourself beaten and your wardrobe considerably pinker."

The ONE dislike is the hero who lost...

As a 19th century villain, I can confirm this was what I was listening to when I won the game.

the firing of the cannons in tchaikovsky's overture is so badass, it will literally never get old

I was looking for some background music while I work. I passed by this playlist and thought "hey, that seems nice!". Now, I'm writing a whole as* page with a smile on my face to show my history teacher that it doesn't matter if he gives us 2 big projects to do, I can do it. Is this... My villain story beginning?? Hell yes.

“My dear George , it wasn’t Jennifer , or Cole, or dean from maintenance, it was me, I was the one who ate the peanut butter sandwich you brought to work, tell your wife she is as tasty as her food“

I feel like this has the energy of *”I’ll take a potato chip….AND EAT IT”*

I like how this guy creates the whole vibe of the song just by the title

Tchaikovsky just gave me a heart attack with those gods damned cannons

Yes brother, you're right. It was me all along, but you just didn't see it. After all this time you finally know the truth. I am the one who stole your toothbrush and put it in the toilet water when we were 9.

I love that guy in the painting. He's like yeah, bitch. It's me, I won.

I am feeling it, the inspiration to write a story where the villain wins and burns down the world as revenge for his lost love.

When it starts with Vivaldi's winter u know it's gonn be lit

“Winter - The Four Seasons” By Him. Yes we need not mention his name.

"As a matter of fact, dear sister, it wasn't the boy you once called 'babe', neither your charming friend Emily. It was me. I told mother and father the existence of your OnlyFans page."

"And I stood in admiration of a man who knew true defeat by no other than the mad man that is I, yet still a man!" "Dude whatever it's just a game, gg"

“You?! YOU did all of this?!” “Yes. Surprised, aren’t you?” “Why?!” “Because of what they did to us. To you! They started this fight. I simply finished it. All it took was time, patience, and the will to see it through to the end.” “All the horrors! The destruction, the pain and suffering!” “All of it necessary to get our revenge.” “Dear God, little brother; what have you become?!” “Myself.”

It really does make you feel like you're a villain at the opera, who just knows that chips are falling exactly where you want them to

me, sitting down to knit a sock: "ah yes, the perfect playlist for me."

I use to listen to rock, rap, punk or phonk at the gym. However, one day I listened to a classical playlist to warmup to and soon I had finished my workout with just that playlist. There’s something more to listening to classical while lifting it’s a whole different experience

This playlist feels like a “the truth is the game was rigged from the start “ moment

Hello my fellow villains. Nice to see everyone at one place once in a while.

For anyone wondering why Tachaikovsky is a f*cking legend, at 1:05:17 those are literal cannon shots he wrote in the orchestra. Like, f*cking CANNONS!!!!

How can you not feel the power listening to this

Given that most of these compositions are quite familiar to me, I'm astonished by how fresh and engaging my experience was simply by listening from the perspective of a 19th century villain. It's true -- context is key. In this case, a major key.

the composer nicknames got me dead bro

Listening to this while its raining outside, thunder booming once in a while, with the background screams of fear from your little cousins... sounds quite satisfying.

PERFECT soundtrack for writing this essay I've been putting off. My professor is going to smell the blood, sweat and tears I poured into this. In my head I'm of course a troubled royal scribbling this to my secret lover to warn her of the coming dangers, frantically dragged my quill against the parchment while I look over my shoulder.

Listening to this playlist while painting, and suddenly had the urge to redden the eyes and paint a teardrop…😂😂😂😂

Me listening to this playlist, elbows on my desk, fingers interlaced together with my jaw resting on my thumbs, smiling alone in the darkness as if I just pulled the greatest crime in history and no one found out

Yesss... My sophistication levels are rising... I’ve gained proficiency in stroking cats and turning around in armchairs. Top hats add extra armor, and canes with poison in them are now extra deadly. I am now a charismaniac.

Finally some music that isn’t boring I can listen to while studying, these are bops.

drawing or painting while listening to this playlist hit different. i was smiling and dancing with brush in my hands and suddenly evil laugh after finished

“The goal of the game isn’t to win, but to stay in it as long as you can. Only then can you be the last one standing, and that is where I ultimately win.”

we need a playlist for when the villain loses and accepts his death

I have just sat here for 20 minutes listening to this beautiful music thinking about my past and the nostalgia is starting to HURT. But every now and then the music starts to sound a little more fierce and I zone back into the present and see how cool i am even though life in unfulfilling,,,,,,,,, this is why we have music .

the fun thing about tchaikovsky is that when you zone out listening to classical music, you suddenly hear cannons

I was listening to this Then my cat came Now I'm truly a villain, sat in an armchair petting his cat and making plan Edit: for all the folks wondering, I'm French and not used to the use of preposition in English (because we don't need them most of the time in French), so I guess I should have wrote "my cat came IN", but guess what? I don't care. Thanks for the 1k likes though, didn't realise I was that funny.

finally, a good soundtrack to listen to while drinking tea.

*me casually blasting this to do homework like i am ready to take over the world*

The amount of times I have listened to this and written the most poignant and high scoring pieces of work is insane. I am possessed with the knowledge of a thousand sons of the intellectual world.

Vivaldi's four seasons may be my most favorite classical piece ever. Winter is so incredibly passionate and powerful. Vivaldi captured the raw emotion of Heavy Metal guitar hundreds of years early.

Starting with winter meant that the villian probably killed everyone in the damn game to win.

I woke up today at 5 am and chose to start my day to this. I’m ready to conquer the world. Thanks.

Finally, a playlist where I can swirl my glass of water and cackle while writing villains in my book.

"Yes, it is I, your little brother, who chaotically spread legos in your room in the dead of the night, only for you to walk in it in the morning whilst half asleep." *Evil laugh*

Idk what possibly convinced KZfaq to recommend this to me, but … they got me good. I am 100% here for these playlists

I've had the pleasure to see Botticelli's painting from the thumbnail today and I am absolutely OBSESSED with that left angel. It's mesmerizimg. I regularly come back to this playlist btw. Thanks so much for this!

Like a pawn that is promoted, like a commoner that married into royalty, the tables has turned on them, my plans have succeeded. Luck and fate is on my side, the world will see itself as the darkness washes over it. Little by little, I shall take over.

"four seasons...... by......... HIM" this is the funniest fucking thing, i love this-- the way we dont even mention vivaldi by name, he's just that powerful

Somehow this took up the EXACT same time frame as my essay. Right as I finished my conclusion, the playlist was over. My theory? This playlist is filled with writing magic.

I was on the toilet but now I feel like I'm sitting on my throne glaring at my red carpet

J'ai écouté cette playlist et j'ai été immédiatement transporté dans un film ! Les chansons sont tellement épiques et inspirantes, elles m'ont donné l'impression d'être un héros accomplissant des choses incroyables. Je recommande cette playlist à tous ceux qui veulent se sentir comme un véritable héros dans un film. Elle est parfaite pour se motiver et pour se donner de l'énergie. Merci pour cette sélection de musique géniale !

Oh, brothers, I might be the youngest, the weakest, and above all the tiniest one, but I am the smartest, the fastest, and the cruelest one. So now that you took from me my loyal destrier, Peter The Plastic Duck, I will make you all suffer by just saying this word: MOM!!!!!

I've been asked what type of music I listen to while I'm studying, and I've resigned myself to just tell them "classical" because I'm not sure my criminology professor would find the humour in me listening to this playlist specifically...

I love the names for the composers lmao. I didn’t notice until I saw Pyotr FUCKING Tchaikovsky and honestly that’s so true.

Not me listening to this feeling extremely crazy and adding crazy ideas to my book......

so no one is going to talk about the beautiful painting ?

31:05 The villain was bored out of their mind; and with a mischievous notion, they smirked, and intentionally coughed out loud, knowing damn well the performance was being recorded.

Found my new playlist when I resin my paintings. "For I have created you, and neither dust nor hair will blemish your divine splendor again." - me

I'm a freelance illustrator and Listening to this will inspire me to create a villain character 😌✨

for the first time in my life, i’ve actually kept up with an exercising routine (i’m coming up on about a month now :D) and i just noticed that i’m starting to get results!! i’m able to walk for 30 minutes straight without having to stop to catch my breath (which i haven’t been able to do since i was a kid) and my stomach is a bit smaller!! not really an evil victory, but i needed somewhere to celebrate lol-

Aha yes quite, the playlist to conceive a child to during a candle lit thunderstorm night... the start of a true villain origin story.

"Did you really think i'd explain my master stroke to you if there remained the slightest chance that you would affect the outcome?"

I'm listening to this right now while writing my review notes. I feel like I have written lots of novels but in reality I'm here procrastinating

before : " we need to be teaching kids about classical music, it is important. " now : " here are some dope 19th century blasters to make you feel like you fighting some indie anime protagonist. have fun discovering it. "

The real villain here is the malicious ruffian who would disturb our music, with ghastly adverts. How can a simple, humble malicious villain such as thy self plan to dominate the globe when a advert for a motorized carriage collides with the musical notes. A strange play service was advertised as well, a service called netflix. How strange a play group would come to a dwelling to act out a play.

I watched them all look up to me. Grinning, I could feel the power and pride rushing through my veins. With the art of word and of action, I became the Hero. Little did they know, I'd fooled them all.

Walking around my neighborhood at 2 am while listening to this, and it’s definitely a vibe.

There’s an odd satisfaction in listening to this and being emotionless to the chaos around you

"My dear, Colleagues, it wasn't Freddy, the Weird kid, and nor was it Gary, the Quiet kid, It was me, I was the one who told our teacher about the assignment!" - Albert, the Teacher's pet.

I would listen to your playlists during my most depressing and happiest year of my life, and now I’m just reminiscing on how much I miss being 17. Thank you for keeping this up still.

me when i successfully run "Hello World" in my programming class

"My friend. There is no use in playing the game if you don't intend to win" -some machiavellian villain I came up with.

"Something is wrong," I muttered as I swept through the dividing curtain into my sweetheart's office. He sat slouched in his chair, a half-eaten pear in his hand. "Hello, lovely," he greeted, smiling easily. "Hello, Mack." I glanced at the papers flung wildly around the room-- this wasn't like him; not one bit. "Is something wrong?" "Not at all. In fact, in a few minutes, all will be perfectly well." His serene tone sent a chill down my spine. Just the day before, he had been nearly hysterical as he searched for the money he owed Dr. Benton. We both well knew that if he couldn't find it, she and her friends wouldn't exactly forgive him. "So, you found the money?" He grinned lazily. "No, but then I realized I had something even better to offer Dr. Benton and her colleagues." "And what is that?" I asked, a chill settling in my stomach. He didn't answer for a moment, just stood up and tossed the pear on the floor. I stared at the fallen fruit, trying to decipher what was going on. Finally, he approached me and grabbed my waist, pulling me in for a kiss. It had been awhile since he had kissed me like this; gentle, soft, loving. When he finally pulled away, I smiled softly, cupping his cheek in my palm. "You sure are feeling better, aren't you? What was that for?" His fingers slid off my waist as he took a step back, and he clasped his hands together behind him. "That was goodbye." My smile slipped from my face. "What do you mean?" When he didn't respond, I stepped forward, causing him to retreat a pace. "Mack, what do you mean?" His eyes turned to something behind me, and I spun to see Dr. Benton there. "Hello, Savannah. It's a pleasure to meet you." I stumbled away from them both, feeling my breath rising. "What do you want? Mack?" He smiled at my desperation. "I'm sure Mack has told you about all of my medical advancements I've been able to make over the past few years," the Doctor mused. "But I'm not sure he explained just how I've done it. You see, most of my techniques wouldn't get past the Hippocratic Oath for anything. That's why I must receive volunteers from time to time to help out. And you, my dear," she continued, chucking me under my chin, "are my latest volunteer."

The titles you put in here are almost as good as the selections. Deliciously wicked. Muchas gracias desde Chile

I finished up a physics assignment to this, and I can confirm that it made me feel like a mad scientist as I put together all the pages of my crude circuit blueprints to transmit their raw data into my computing machine, with the express intent of thrusting their horrid mechanical knowledge upon a world that is not ready for the revelations that they will bring. It's also just some nice music to listen to late at night!

“Oh, my dear… you really thought I loved you didn’t you? How foolish.”

He has such immense power we dare not speak his name, for fear of him coming back to win the game once and for all

it's fun to put this on with demons/hellscape sounds in the background. tortured souls screaming to the sweet serenade of tchaikovsky. _bliss._

"It took years, but all the pieces are set in place and when the last pawn moves, all is inevitable. So excuse me gentlemen. I must be off to escort the Archduke to Sarajevo..."

people who say they listen to "classical" music because its so relaxing.... they clearly do not know classical music at all

it felt amazing finishing up my class schedule just as the video ended, truly amazing!

Thank you for uploading this to Spotify I am so damn grateful
