The Hero: “What could possibly go wrong?” The Author:

POV: You're getting closer to the cashier but your mom is buying something

-Set as alarm -Set it to gradually increase in volume

This piece was composed for the play Peer Gynt. During this scene, the titular character falls in love with the Troll King's daughter, but this angers the King, who begins to angrily chase him around his hall. The play specifically has lyrics for the loud part of the song, in which the other trolls sing about the various ways they want Peer Gynt to be tortured, as punishment for seducing the King's daughter. There is a LOT of dread in the song, because not only is the main character running from a powerful villain, but he's facing certain death if he gets caught.

Played this at my mom's funeral. She was a die-hard fan. No better way to send her off, the old lady knew how to throw a party. And her funeral was certainly such. Love you Ma, miss you every day.

Anxiety: The Musical

RIP Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)

This song feels like accidentally knocking a single vase on a shelf full of them and having to watch it take every single other vase with it

This song is the definition of "That escalated quickly"

This song basically sounds like "Everything that could've gone wrong has gone wrong"

Everytime I feel anxious or in a hurry, this would suddenly play in my head. I can say this is my anxiety's national anthem.

Such a classic, this song will be remembered for generations to come..

Every composers has a fancy ass name but this dude is just straight up grieg

This is the song that plays when you’re taking a test and can’t answer the first question

This song is just the song you here when procrastination begins.

I've known this Melody for YEARS and I've never known what it was called, until today I am so happy I found this

Imagine being an 1800’s composer that has achieved modern popularity through the use of an effective beat drop

My 11th grade chemistry teacher would play this on the last three minutes of tests.

In my younger years, I would wake up every morning to the spectacular and thrilling sound of "In the Hall of the Mountain King". It was as if the music instantly put me in an adventurous mood, ready to tackle the day with full force.

My lawyer watching me talk my way from a speeding ticket warning to capital punishment:

If anxiety had a theme song, then it would be this

This song doesn't need lyrics... it literally spells disaster

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

This piece is the definition of "Plot Twist"

When you're lying in bed at the end of the day relaxing and then remember that you have three projects, five essays, and two research papers due tomorrow.

Ah yes, _"Everything that can go wrong, is going wrong."_ the soundtrack

I FINALLY KNOW THE NAME OF THIS SONG

It's intriguing how a song that at the time would have felt serious now feels comedic. Really shows how the context of instruments really changes as time goes on.

“I paid for the whole piano, I’m going to use the whole piano”-Grieg

0:10 Playing a horror game 1:10 Saving... 1:40 Hold LShift to run.

My elementary school teacher would play this in class one day and told us the story behind how and why it was written. The crescendo would always scare the crap out of me!

The theme song of when you can’t find your mom at the store

1:40 sickest beat drop of 1875

This score can never be beat in terms of popularity and being a classic piece of music

I remember learning this song in 2nd grade

Best of example of _”What could go wrong?”_

When ur mom said she wants the house spotless by the time she gets home and she's pulling into the drive way

Still a masterpiece after 149 years

The inevitable stomach ache from accidentally eating expired food 😭😭

Theme of "I'm about to do something incredibly dangerous and stupid"

1:40 when the cockroach starts flying

If running to the bus stop had a theme song

"Courage The Cowardly Dog" - Farmer-Hunter, Farmer-Hunted A deer's gotta do what a deer's gotta do

This music literally represents me trying to find the name of this piece.

1:41 when you realize the test has a back page

I overslept and was late to school and I had a test first lesson and I played this on the last 2 minutes before arriving to school since the piece matches the mood

Fun fact: this was used as a musical story when a human was trapped in the kings prison and have an idea of trying to escape and when the human was outside one of the gaurds turned into stone and the human survived

When you tell a small lie and you gotta lie some more to not get caught

After all these years I’ve found it Finally my Journey is over I can finally die a happy man

after 5 years i finally found this song

This song is the literal embodiment of the phrase "What could go wrong?"

This plays when I can't find the bathroom in the mall

Finally... i've found the name of this music, the research of 4 years!!

For some reason, my brain heavily associates this song with Halloween

Fun Fact: the composer came up with this idea after a dream he had where he met and fell in love the mountain king's daughter, but that angered the king which caused him to chase the dreamer around his halls. The music is the sound of the king in his dreams steadily gaining on him as the dreamer runs faster and faster

When you realize that there's another page at the back of the paper but you only got 5 minutes left to submit the test

I played this in my aunts car while we were stuck in traffic

I've first heard that song in Music class in 6th grade and it has been stuck with me ever since, I love it

The hardest bass drop I've ever heard.

This song is literally the definition of procrastination, being relaxed in the beginning and in a total state of panic towards the end to somehow reach the deadline
