+Slowswift Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Somehow, I'm just now discovering Porter Robinson. This is despite Shelter being one of my all-time favorite songs. Oh, well, better late than never, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 The Hanging Tree from The Hunger Games. I wasn't expecting it to be so haunting. I've never seen the movie, so I don't know what's happening in the scene, but having more voices join in on the last verse (repeat?) really worked. Not at all coincidentally, I'm now back in my 'worldbuild by writing songs phase'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all coincidentally, I'm now back in my 'worldbuild by writing songs phase'. It's way more haunting in context (in the spoiler box if you want it). I literally wrote about this for my university dissertation on mass media in the Hunger Games. Spoiler It's a spontaneous song that is filmed and edited into rebellion propaganda, and the extra voices are people singing it as a rallying cry to psych themselves up for a suicide charge on a hydroelectric dam. I really like seeing how songs from books are interpreted, as I don't know of any where the author has written a melody for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VWilliamm Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) I'm bored on the bus, heading home from work, so I've got my usual pony playlist going. All the songs from the show, Eurobeat Brony's Super Ponybeat vol 1, and some additional fan music that I've taken a liking to sonnerie Trafiquinté , sonnerie Oppo F11 Pro Edited June 28, 2022 by VWilliamm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Throwback to when my aunt was learning Italian and listened to this album! This song was one of my favorites. Obviously this is the English version, but I found it when I was looking it up on a nostalgia trip and honestly, I think I like this one better.

Knight of Iron Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I’m a hopeless addict for Imagine Dragons songs, so I’m playing Wrecked, Follow You, and Cutthroat over and over until the full album’s out. And as a casual Dream SMP fan, Derivakat’s music is fire, like the new one Revived. The lyrics and stuff aren’t super specific like a parody or anything so they’re enjoyable by non-fans, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) @Orlion Blight, of course it's almost 9 minutes! That is a great song! When I was listening to it and saw the playtime I thought it was going to be like Pink Floyd's Echoes. Imagine my surprise when at the 3:21 it switched to a more rollicking and fun Syd Barrett Pink Floyd sound, and my further shock at the disjoint between the frolicking happy tune and the grizzly lyrics. I don't think it's better than St. James the bachelor, but it is my favorite song that uses the word "gorse". Edifying as always, and as these things generally go, your song has reminded me of another of my favorite songs of all time: *EDIT: So I've listened to Long Lankin 8 more times, and I have to correct my original assessment, it's totally in the same league as St. John the Gambler, and is the best song I've heard this year. Well played @Orlion Blight, well played. Edited September 1, 2021 by Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Put the wrong song name, I was watching the video on mobile and the song title was cutoff, and when I watched it in full screen mode the video title was the 17thshard forum topic. So I listened to this song over 10 times before I found out the real name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the deep rumble of the orchestra drums (perfect for Conquistador), and it's pretty awesome that backed by a philharmonic band, they still broke out the Moog synthesizer. Here's a little bluegrass magic for your Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
