All of you who are concerned for me are rightfully so This song is from an entertainer who was to the 1940s what Weird Al is to us. My grampa (rest his soul) gave us a 78 record of it when I was a child - kind of ironic, seeing as he was rather a wild fellow. Humor in music - it's a tradition! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I've been listening to several of the songs from the RvB soundtracks, because I deal with emotion by listening to the music over and over to slightly numb the emotion. And I really like sad/bittersweet piano music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ward's Guard Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Someone explain to me how on earth I am only now hearing the legendary piece that is "Diggy Diggy Hole." I had no clue that I lived under a rock so big that i never noticed the Dwarves from Minecraft singing and digging under me. Let me just say, this is a masterpiece, and knowing its origin story makes it so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cover in particular is really good though, I recommend it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Rediscovered an old favorite. I've listened to other versions they've done many times, but it'd been a while since I'd head the original. Mistake, that, one that I've rectified. (The last minute is especially good.) Should also mention that I've been listening to their album Disciplined Breakdown again, which is quite possibly my favorite album of all time. If you think you might like it, I can't recommend it enough. Edited February 7, 2021 by Slowswift Should also mention... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushu42 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm in love with a fantastic band called the Arcadian Wild. They have really nice, impressively executed folk music. My favorite in particular is their album Finch in the Pantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Any of you ever listen to a band called Blind Guardian? Apparently, they've made some music based off of Wheel of Time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, they've made some music based off of Wheel of Time. They are one of my favorite bands. The two Wheel of Time songs are both on the album At the Edge of Time - so anyone who's interested could just listen to that one, since it's also a pretty good overview what they're all about. If you like metal music of the very melodic kind, there's a good chance you'll like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm running an experiment of sorts - in school we were talking about how video game music is supposed to help you focus, so it's great to have on in the background while you're studying. So I've been listening to the Halo 3 ODST soundtrack despite having never played Halo or any other video game, and it actually does help. It's interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting, though I don't know that it's supposed to keep you focused. It is supposed to be designed so that you can listen to the same track for a long time without tiring you. Which can also help I think. The music can be great but it doesn't get in the way of your thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Two things today: One, I'm not learning Mando'a from listening to Vode An and Dha Wherda Verda over and over again (eh, I know how to say glory and eternal glory, but that's it), but it's making me want to. And two, House of Memories has no right being such a good song to write fight scenes to, but it is. I have an entire list of good music for that, and I just listen to this one over and over again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Bystander Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I will now educate you all. BEHOLD! Classic Rock! (Yes, I know the music video is very strange, but the song is really good. Actually, I normally just listen to the song. I've only actually watched the video a few times.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eluvianii Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Finally decided to listen to The Dolls of New Albion: A Steampunk Opera by Paul Shapera and I cannot believe I kept myself from this for so long. It's amazing, and beautiful, and so storming tragic, and extremely well told for being only an hour and a half. I could become addicted to this. And I just may, as it seems there are like another 15 albums by the same composer because you can't be too prolific. I'm really glad I found this, looks like I'll be busy for a while. In case anyone wants to take a listen. Also, I looked for the lyrics on Genius. It's good to have them at hand because some songs have descriptions and there is one where there's three people singing different lyrics simultaneously, so it really helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 This movie does nothing halfway, does it? This score is amazing and I’m going to be listening to it for a while, I think. (Especially Mitsuha’s theme: it makes me want to cry every time I hear it, but I can’t tell if it’s from happiness or sadness.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I've listened to Glitter & Gold at least a hundred times in the past two days, and I'd be concerned, but every now and then I just need a good cowboy song, yeah? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
