Notes
No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness....

Mm. Your taste (after browsing your Tumblr) is very sophisticated. As an INTJ myself, I feel as if I can look at the melancholy somber of your mixes via a similar lens. It's majestic rather than despondent, and elegant rather than tragic.
