2085 - AJR

Turning Out Pt. iii - AJR

Adventure is Out There - AJR

Finale (Can't Wait To See What You Do Next) - AJR

Steve's Going to London - AJR

In case you can't tell, I'm an AJR fan.

Piano Concerto #1 by Tchaikovsky.

Even if you don't like classical music I highly recommend listening to it, especially the first minute or so.

Edit: Someone should make a spotify playlist of all these songs.

…on the note of classical music, Beethoven’s 9th symphony and Shostakovich’s 5th. Both are so powerful, especially as you learn the context and try to understand the composers.

[Experience he/him]

Nuvole Bianche and Experience by Ludovici Enaudi (I totally spelled his name wrong) are both very powerful feely yet simple pieces.

[+Slowswift]

Did you know there's actually a genre called uplifting trance? My favorites so far in that category are:

• Summer Nights - Craig Connelly and Ellysse Mason
• Little Mystery - Craig Connelly and That Girl
• (really that whole album is fantastic)
• Remember - John Kenza
• Sansa - Gareth Emery

I'll add some more (from other genres, too) later. It's 4 AM and my head is starting to hurt.

[Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui]

Life in Technicolor ii, Coldplay

Heroes, David Bowie (especially the 2002 live version. Not that the original is bad, but this one has something more in both instrumentation and vocal performance.)
