Today, being a music student, a professional orchestra performed a symphony that I wrote and dedicated to my girlfriend. It took months to compose and it the first and only time it was ever going to be played. My girlfriend forgot to come. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sang a romantic song I wrote for my girlfriend. She laughed at my soprano. FML
Today, after spending months learning how to play the guitar and memorizing the music to my girlfriend's all-time favorite song, I performed it for her. Her response? "Well, you kind of ruined that song for me now." FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I had my last orchestra concert and had a large solo. My dad came to watch and record it; however, the whole time he recorded another girl, thinking it was me. FML
Today, after an argument with my pianist girlfriend about how bad my favourite song would sound on the piano, she stormed out of the room crying, leaving behind a CD. It was the piano version of the song she'd made for me. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at the museum where we met, with a violinist playing her favourite song. She said yes but later said she felt put on the spot in public, and if I’d proposed in private, she probably would've said no. I’m in my feelings trying not to cry right now. FML
Today, after I'd told this girl I’m seeing that I play piano to impress her, it turns out her father is a pianist and has a grand piano in their house. Tonight, I’m supposed to go to her place to play her my "favorite piece." FML
Today, I was with my girlfriend and she was making me listen to one of her recordings for chorus. As I was listening to it, a solo came on, and i turned to her and said, "This is the worst fucking solo I've ever heard in my life." Little did I know, it was her solo. FML
Today, I wrote my girlfriend a song. She wrote me a 13-page letter on why we should break up. FML
Today, I was at a very important music competition. When we'd rehearsed the song in question, the conductor said we were to repeat the last four bars of the song three times. As I went to play the third time, the whole orchestra stopped playing. I kept playing by accident and we came in third because of my mistake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Because, evidently, all people trained in classical composition are homosexual. Let me guess, your knowledge about music is limited to what you hear on top 40?

Did you TELL her that it was for her and that it will be the only time it will ever be played or did you say "Hey, come see this orchestra with me"?

Nobody listens to classical music anyways. It only exists today as a tax write-off for major corporations. If you had any talent creating music, you'd be creating the next hit for Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift. "Hoedown Throwdown" > "Ode to Joy" Which one includes instructions to a line dance? I rest my case.

it doesnt really take a whole lot of talent to write a hit like that, all you need is a 1,5,6,4 in the key of D major, simples.

HAHAHAHA LMFAO Miley Cyrus nor Taylor Swift are talented. They don't write their music or sing their own lyrics. And you are comparing someone who composed a symphony to that trash. And I listen to classical music. It is relaxing. I can also play it as well (violin and piano). kthnx

Lighten up, Francis. Do you guys think I am serious when I say that THE criterion for determining the quality of music is whether it includes instructions to a line dance? Do I really need to enclose my comments in HTML < tongueincheek > < "/" tongueincheek > tags?

@23 - taylor swift writes her own lyrics. how the hell do you think she came up with songs about personal high school experiences? and miley wrote 7 things but i don't know if that helps my case that she's talented.

Yes, Taylor Swift writes her songs. That's why they all sound like some 12 year-old wrote them.
jeniilouise 0
yes, both miley and taylor write their own songs and theyre both talented. but you cant compare them to COMPOSERS in the classical genre of music because they aren't famous for composing and its a completely different style of music! gahh.

If the new songs are so wonderful, why are classical pieces like 'Ode to Joy' still popular 200 years later?

Glad you are so musically educated to believe classical music is a waste of time Perdix and that Taylor Swifts music will last for generations to come. Try to pass judgement on things for which you have a true understanding. Congrats on completing a symphony Ryanissaur. Ditch the girl. One will come along that's worth it. When she truly proves worthy, write your true love and even better one.

I'm pretty sure Perdix was being sarcastic about pop>classical. At least I hope so.
perdix 31
Yes, Cthulu, I was, especially the part about Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift being the best representations of pop.

Did anyone read this FML and think, "The OP is boning his girlfriend during this symphony and she wasn't satisfied at all?" I understand that "come" is not spelled in the proper context, but it still turned me on... somewhat...

YDI for not reminding her how important her being there was to you.

wow, that is messed up and I am sorry OP! I would be pissed if I were you! :(. As far as the person who said that you should be writing songs for Taylor Swift and Miley Cirus, that is the lamest shit ever! I have little respect for "musicians" that are so unoriginal, they cannot even write and compose their own stuff. how can you call something that someone else wrote your song, when all that you did was lend the composer your voice! Lame!
