[Avianmosquito]

Straightforward, simple. Show us songs you like, especially those you are presently listening to.

Here's two from me:

Eluveitie: "The Silver Sister"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fqXobXOoUg

Metallica: "Blackened"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU_ggFovJNo

(It doesn't have to be metal.)

[D20ragon]

Sound and Vision (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRc2_-BCljQ)
It's a song I've listened to since I was around 3 years old, and I've never stopped loving it.
Rock n Roll Suicide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jg4ekLG9Zo)
The song I listen to when I feel like everything is at its worst.
Pepper (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO8vBVUaKvk)
Really nice exploration of the ****ier side of humanity.
Everlasting Light (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QruSZ7xO7z4)
One of my favorite love songs, my band is currently working on a cover of it.
On Another Plane (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFqru5sR7Vk)
What I'm listening to right now, another song I grew up on.

[Spanish_Paladin]

I am a true metalhead, but i won´t suggest heavy metal.... i recomend VnV Nation, that band made me like electronic music. Begin with "Illusion", "Nova" or "Beloved" :smallsmile:

[Avianmosquito]

I've got something a bit softer, a selection of songs by Incubus.

"Drive"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRUf30Afcyo

"Pardon Me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhZvDJ2opsM

"Megalomaniac"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyvo6gY9zLA

"Wish You Were Here"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZnUYsqw8BA

"Nice to Know You"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVWPFq_VAMg

[lylsyly]

for me it classic rock or so-called progressive rock of the same era.

Google up "RUSH R40 LIVE" or "YESSONGS VOLUME 1"

Viva la Rock-n-Roll!

[Avianmosquito]

And here's a song for the rest of my day!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtrVRMdrPe0

(Join me on DDO! Ghallanda, look for Aliycya. Yes, that's how I had to spell Alicia. Level 3, will be level 4 and on the mainland soon. Drunken low-level chat and other shenanigans all day.)

Begin with "Illusion", "Nova" or "Beloved" :smallsmile:"Victory Not Vengeance," yes. Judgement was a very good album. I will offer a different song from it than, "Illusion," though that is also important.



If we should stay silent
If fear should win our hearts
Our light/line will have long diminished
Before it reaches the farthest star

Right now I'm in a Children of the Monkey Machine (http://ocremix.org/artist/4283/children-of-the-monkey-machine) mood. Maridia (Drowned in Exile) (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00850) would be an easier entry than what I'm listening to. I'm trying to figure out the bonus track for the OCReMix album of Final Fantasy IV: Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption (http://ocremix.org/album/14/final-fantasy-iv-echoes-of-betrayal-light-of-redemption). The CotMM contribution on the extras disc was a nearly 35 minute arrangement of the final battle theme titled "Spiraling Decay."

Farthest star is great, i agree :smallsmile:

[Avianmosquito]

I don't know what it is, but I felt a shock just now. And now, I'm listening to this, a thing I haven't even heard, much less willingly listened to, in years. (Yes, this entire album. I am trying to figure out what I felt and what it has to do with this.)

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1K3DzzUmowbpzRzLTN_mO4XixLqmS0j

Anyway... That's good quality for rap. I know that isn't saying much, but it's far and away better than the rest of the genre... And that isn't saying much either. It's actually GOOD. That's what I'm saying. Whatever. So... Yeah. Enjoy.

(...I'm going to go take a shower. Maybe light myself on fire. ****ing rap music. I don't know why I feel such a instinctive, visceral repulsion to rap music... Actually, yes I do. But this isn't that kind of rap. It's not 50-Cent, or Eminem or DMX. It's pretty much a different genre.)

[KillingAScarab]

The second part of Time's End (http://www.terriblefate.com/) was made available last month. There's also a short fan animated movie covering the backstory from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask which was released at the same time, but for me Woodfall Temple (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsrALLgQ7cs) has some of the best atmosphere on this "disc." Theophany's interest in sound design comes through in what was included from the game. I can't wait to hear what's done with the Great Bay Temple when that comes around. I'm also hoping there will be new iterations of Oath to Order (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlYJYNJDHVc) after each temple boss track as the project progresses.

Personally, I like some of what Zaid Tabani (https://www.youtube.com/user/redrapper) does. I heard about him while he was doing battle rap as Red Rapper and did the introductions for EVO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_Championship_Series) a few times, including this one for Super Street Fighter IV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWElboqOor4). I felt the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 intro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l9vp11M_PA) from the next year was more memorable, though.

[Avianmosquito]

So, you don't like a lot of rap, but like some rap rock. No biggie (smalls). :smallsmile

Actually, my appreciation for Aesop Rock is on an intellectual level. The man is well read and erudite, references classic literature constantly, works primarily in metaphor and satire, and makes biting social commentary in almost every track. His lyrics are extremely well written, and it's the writing that I appreciate. For example, the first couple lines of the first verse of Coffee (https://youtu.be/7UXVgIyVRAU):

"And the last shall be first to immerse in the pass-out heat, face in the mud where the moxie melt, 'till he woke up drowning in tchotchke hell, more in a cave with a torch on the wall than a window arrangement of porcelain dolls."

Okay, that's a couple lines from a RAP track, but there is a LOT to break down right there, and 99% of people are not going to get most of it. Let's go line by line.

"And the last shall be first..."

Well, he starts with a religious reference, so the site won't let me explain this one. Oh well.

"...to immerse in the pass-out heat, face in the mud where the moxie melt..."

There's a mental image. Face in the mud is a saying denoting humiliation, moxie means spirit or willpower and that melting means losing your strength of character, and pass-out heat is the likely culprit there. It's not literal heat, however. He's talking about being worn down by external pressures. We'll see which in the next line.

"...'till he woke up drowning in tchotchke hell..."

Materialism, yep. Tchotchkes, if you don't know, are small collectibles with no value or purpose. Drowning in tchotchke hell would be a painful obsession with collecting worthless objects, so he's referring to materialism. Simple enough.

"...more in a cave with a torch on the wall than a window arrangement of porcelain dolls."

Are you familiar with Plato's metaphor of the cave? If you do, and you keep in mind the talk about materialism and tchotchkes, you'll get this already. If not, the metaphor of the cave was Plato's way of explaining subjective reality, he likens us to people inside a cave, trying to guess at what's going on outside (in the real world) through shadows on a wall. A torch on the wall would make this much more difficult, masking the shadows, which is what Aes is comparing the porcelain dolls, a good example of a worthless collectible, to. He's saying that this person is too focused on material posessions, and it is making it hard for them to grasp the world around them.

Looking back on the external pressures in the first line, it seems likely the external pressures that are leaving this man broken and without dignity are material ones. Aes doubles down on this in the second verse.

"And the last shall be first to the curb with the mad-cow meat. Face in the bars of a regular cell when he work up high and collectible hell. Boom-town kid who was taught by the binge that the man who expire with the most **** wins, that's warpy American nonsense penned by the rich not a routine friend in a pinch. Still not used to the stench, how it throws off otherwise lucid events..."

Hell, even the crudest line in this track is a metaphor containing social commentary.

"It goes red light, green light, 123: One large coffee, **** you, peace."

He has, at this point, likened society to waiting in line at a coffee shop, and waiting in line to a game of red light, green light. (He has used these metaphors before, and is building off his previous work.) The last bit at the end is expressing a desire to get what he came he for and leave, and the added "**** you" speaks for itself. In the end, this track is expressing disdain for society, in particular the rap industry, and expressing a desire to retreat from it. He even refers to this as "hermitry" in the chorus, which is an apt description.

It's this kind of thing, this writing, that I appreciate regardless of genre. I still don't like rap music, it appeals to me slightly more than country, but the writing here is so solid and so interesting to dig into that it has overcome my distaste for the genre.

[KillingAScarab]

Are you familiar with Plato's metaphor of the cave?Sure, that's where Tiny Carl Jung defeated the Dread Solipsist in Advanced Dungeons & Discourse (http://dresdencodak.com/2009/01/27/advanced-dungeons-and-discourse/).

[Corlindale]

Can I just interject and say how much I love this forum and its music suggestions. My Spotify album collection would be a pale shadow of what it is without all the great recommendations I've gotten from this site.

I've started listening to VnV Nation now, and I agree that Judgement is a fantastic album. I also agree with KillingAScarab - "Illusion" is good, but "The Farthest Star" is fantastic.

Previously all I'd heard of VnV was the cover version of "Further" that plays at the end credits of Iji (http://www.remar.se/daniel/iji.php), so beyond getting new music I was also reminded of a fantastic game.

I don't know how much I have to offer myself at present. Recently I've listened a lot to the Hamilton-score, which is still amazing even though I haven't seen the actual performance and will probably never get the chance to.

Another album I've listened to recently is "Y" by the Danish artist "Lydmor". I guess the genre is sort of pop with some electronic elements, but I think her style is really unique and she hits this strange combination of moods with her music and lyrics, which somehow clicks for me. It's hard to find the good songs on Youtube, though, so Spotify would be the place to go if you want to give it a listen.

I also agree with KillingAScarab - "Illusion" is good, but "The Farthest Star" is fantastic.My personal preference is for "Carry You," but "The Farthest Star" definitely has that message of hope central to it. "Illusion" I mostly associate with "Doll Face (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl6hNj1uOkY)" by Andy Huang. Someone took that animation and played "Illusion" over it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evpGu3eO0pY).

If you're looking for something else along the lines of VNV Nation, I also enjoy The Crüxshadows, particularly DreamCypher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DreamCypher). "Birthday" is perhaps intended to be a more danceable tune, but is also in line with the band's motto "Live Love Be Believe," though they also have quite a bit of examination of armed conflict such as in "Defender." Ethernaut (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernaut) was inspired by the Trojan wars and "Winterborn" spawned quite a few remixes, including the Subway to Sally (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subway_to_Sally) mix, which turned up on the soundtrack to a German TV miniseries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Kingdom:_The_Dragon_King#Soundtrack).

I love that entire soundtrack, but this one is a particularly... strong... example.


I don't know how much I have to offer myself at present. Recently I've listened a lot to the Hamilton-score, which is still amazing even though I haven't seen the actual performance and will probably never get the chance to.The only Broadway musical I have had the chance to see in person was Jekyll & Hyde (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_%26_Hyde_%28musical%29), and that production was not quite the same as those which had audio and video recordings. It would have been amazing to see Resurrection, the one which had an electric guitarist in the orchestra. "The World Has Gone Insane (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XQm_feAYEw)" wasn't even included in the live recording of the production with David Hasselhoff playing the title characters.

Oh, I really like this too!

Birthday reminds me thematically of Farthest Star - I find both songs uplifting and motivational, but I also like that they are not just blindly optimistic. They are challenges, calls for action - The Farthest Star for humanity, Birthday for the individual.

I'm not well-versed in electronic music, but if I had to recommend a band it would be Public Service Broadcasting - especially the album The Race For Space. It's the history of the space race in the 50's and 60's, with various historical recordings set to music. It's absolutely beautiful, with the music fitting the recordings perfectly and creating a wide range of moods throughout the journey through the early history of space exploration. It's truly an emotional rollercoaster, covering both the triumphs and downfalls throughout the period, ending with an absolute climax in the song "Go" about Apollo 11. But you really should listen to the whole thing in order, to get the full story in all its glory.

But you really should listen to the whole thing in order, to get the full story in all its glory.:smallamused: The Crüxshadows started out in Florida, and while space exploration's history isn't one of their main subjects, space is an element. Telemetry of a Fallen Angel featured "Satellite," which is specifically about landing a craft on Mars. Names of other albums and songs include archaic terminology: Ethernaut, of course. "Dark Matter" is something of a fusion of Rogue's romantic view of space and the band's frequent use of ancient Greek mythology.


One light, becoming a monster
Once chance, you have to believe in the truth
Your hate, creating Medusa
Dead light becoming dark matter in you

For something a little more accurate, I was recently thinking about "Why Does the Sun Shine?," a song on a album called "Space Songs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Songs)" which was made popular by They Might Be Giants. TMBG also made an answer song to it, "Why Does the Sun Really Shine?" It seems when they perform the former song now, they play around with making it more wrong than usual before they start singing about plasma. John Hodgman helped them out with that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrtklvgsmWU) when they performed on a late night talk show.

Then, of course, there's The Doubble Donkey Disc by Ozma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozma_%28band%29). The first five songs are tied somewhat together by a Russian theme, with the first and the fifth being "Flight of Yuri Gagarin" and "Landing of Yuri Gagarin," respectively. But if I'm honest, I purchased it primarily for their cover of Korobeiniki; I understand it showed up years later in a movie fight scene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick-Ass_2_%28film%29).

[Avianmosquito]

[Spanish_Paladin]

For epic or/and emotional music, i suggest Two Steps From Hell and Thomas Bergersen, this is one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKIq6-drP88

[Kio]

Can't make links in my posts yet, but you just can't go wrong with some good ol'
DragonForce: Through the fire and the flames
I play it for my players when they get into intense battles. Really tightens the mood :3

[KillingAScarab]

DragonForce: Through the fire and the flames
I play it for my players when they get into intense battles. Really tightens the mood :3It certainly made for the craziest ending in Guitar hero 3. Congratulations, you have defeated Lou with "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," now show us just how terrible you are at hammer-ons.

[Salieri]

I've been playing some serious amounts of Hearts of Iron 4's mod Kaiserreich, waging glorious war as the Syndicalists, which means I've been hearing lots of labor songs. This is probably one of my favorites.

Utah Phillips - We Have Fed You All A Thousand Years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWTXyO2MOlQ)

And my favorite songs from Hadestown, a post-apocalyptic musical interpretation of the Greek Tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice by Anaïs Mitchell, featuring a number of performers (e.g. Bon Iver, Ani DiFranco):

(Way Down) Hadestown (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZPTp-F0nE)

Why We Build the Wall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAgiK07Py9M)

[Feytalist]

Might as well jump in on this as well.

Have some funeral doom overlayed with old-timey chain gang chants: The Limestone County Chain Gang (https://thelimestonecountychaingang.bandcamp.com/releases). It's really quite something.

And closer to our interests: Gygax (https://gygaxguild.bandcamp.com), old school Gypsyhawkian hard rock with DnD theme.

Also Mary Crowell (https://marycrowell.bandcamp.com/album/acolytes-of-the-machine-other-gaming-stories), piano-led swing jazz, also with a DnD theme. The music is excellent; she can always get more love.

And then for those of us who like Chelsea Wolfe (https://chelseawolfe.bandcamp.com/album/abyss), here's Darkher (https://darkher-uk.bandcamp.com/album/realms); less industrial, more airy and arguably darker and more doomy.


Lastly, have some spacey electro-black metal, by the one-and-only Vintersorg: Gravisphere (https://gravisphere.bandcamp.com/).

[The Extinguisher]

The Masquerade by Go! Child came out like three days ago and I've listened to it about a dozen times.
"Telescope" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4U7rH3r1b8


I've also been listening to One Last Big Job, from Ramshackle Glory
Here's "Face the Void" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXHIFV5lcfI

[DallerMan]

And here's a song for the rest of my day!

..

Thx, really good song

[Avianmosquito]

Today, I came to a conclusion. That conclusion was "Yeah, I can totally do this at level 50.". I then spent the next two hours listening to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALbVEmzY5S4

Then I paused to have a little drinkie. And since I haven't learned my lesson, I imagine soon I'm going to spend an hour listening to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mByDcrNSV0

Then three or four hours listening to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahfb7M7jYvA

You know, if I wasn't so horribly underlevelled, I might not be having such a hard time. But who does things in a reasonable order, really?

New passion - Into You by Ariana Grande (lyrics (http://lyricsmusic.name/ariana-grande-lyrics/dangerous-woman/into-you.html))

what is arguably the best live performance of one of the best (and well known) songs of the 80's

what is arguably the best live performance of one of the best (and well known) songs of the 80's

70s, actually, but only old farts like me would know that.

Meanwhile, give these a listen, though they're quite different...

I've been hopelessly addicted to this one lately, and it's been a huge help in my studies <3 A massive tune, really.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-L2AHAbUNw

1:58-2:43 is just amazing, amazing, amazing. I want to be like Gabi when I'm fifty. Damn.

[thedanster7000]

Thought I'd mix it up with different sorts of music:

Omegamode - Skies of Fire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQkoZNckT58)
Very heavy, one of my favourite songs of all time.

Avicii - Levels (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ovdm2yX4MA)
A classic.

Code: Pandorum & Mastadon - Blood Pressure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af66QpkLnGA)
Fairly recent deathstep.

BASECAMP - In Stone (VALENTINE Remix) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qrApGk_rEg)
A bit more mellow.

[Cola]

One of my all-time favourite songs would be Megaherz - Beiss Mich. Mostly because of how poetic the text actually is and how it is sung. Too bad there are no english translations I know of. :smallfrown:

[2D8HP]

They may seem old and trite to others, but I find these songs AWESOME!, BADASS!, or sublime.

Bo Diddley (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mlcU_CpqNu4&itct=CBEQpDAYACITCP-G2rrS29ECFQ0EfwodJ9oJ5jIHcmVsYXRlZEjUhM7R9-CR88kB)

[Corlindale]

My current obsession is still VNV Nation, as discovered through this very thread.

After having listened to most of their music, I think Automatic is my favourite album overall. I find that I enjoy VNV's upbeat and hopeful songs way more than their more "angry" and dark stuff and Automatic seems to have the best ratio between the two styles. I particularly enjoy Space & Time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLiNr57387k) and Gratitude (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOA9pbg3VAk).

New album of Two Steps from Hell: simply awesome (specially Enchantress and Pegasus) :smallsmile::smallsmile::smallsmile:

[8BitNinja]

I've been listening to this recently

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmV_quYlCh_wqWMx4r6po2Sm3mIQDZWIE

Some quality metal.

[Avianmosquito]

Well, this is a radical departure from my normal musical tastes, but I just watched the new Stevenbomb with my daughter and now this is stuck in my head. It's not exactly the best the show has to offer, but villain songs don't tend to be very good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtA-juh3rf4

You know, I normally hate the shows she makes me watch, but the last two have been really good. Even though this one's metaphors are about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face.

[KillingAScarab]

...but villain songs don't tend to be very good.My counter-example for this is "When You're Evil" by (Aurelio) Voltaire. It is such a perfect fit for a Disney villain that a number of people have put it to Scar's scenes from The Lion King and keep uploading it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoEX_1TTRA8) long after the initial was removed. Voltaire had himself linked the video and expressed approval of the combination.

Plus, there's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. "Brand New Day" is the kind of thing you can immortalize in needlepoint (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=268566.0). The entire soundtrack got a good de-make as the background music in a video game adaptation by Doctor Octoroc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_9x9m8F1b4). And the concept was arguably inspired by Doctor Steel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Steel).

Here's an example of "Right for the Wrong Reasons" with a strong synthloop and a vulgar but catchy hook. Warning: He swears and we're so super concerned that upon hearing these words your fragile mind might be permanently harmed. Whatever. Song is really catchy. I enjoy it. Enjoy it or don't, I won't put a gun to your head and I don't want to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPex3SwtCSs

I'll just continue to find this song and the meme around it vaguely amusing and put this on the list of "Songs to talk to Alex about".

Another vulgar hit I link to regularly on sites that aren't as uptight about language as this one. Use it yourselves when a thread gets too weird for you!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FjWe31S_0g

Okay, all this new **** is a weird change of pace. Let's go back to some music I grew up with to compensate (or rather, overcompensate). Yes? Yes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M

Da da da dada daa daa... Does that compensate or do you want something else old? How about a song I like more? Well, here you go.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNdB5-A9O7g

More Black Sabbath.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQUXuQ6Zd9w

While we're listening to metal, how about some Metallica?

https://youtu.be/peENJe_ORdI

https://youtu.be/5Ksz_fS9TUI

Maybe a little Pantera...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evc3Xtc84N0

Hey, that guy's avatar was a Sublime album cover. Maybe some Sublime, then?

https://youtu.be/qEGeuNOhxRk

https://youtu.be/9MqvuH4LfZg

Okay. Back to Pantera.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81CQqZ5KNt8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BG1Ng2pU-8

Okay, that was a whole album, but... Still. A little more Metallica.

Still not enough, a little more...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoUdo2s5miE

Ahhh... There we go. Now this post has the perfect musical proportions. Or maybe I should have included one really short rap track... Whatever, close enough.

Listening to a bunch of American Murder Song recently.

(Warning. Contains murders)

Pray (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSDWNd_SSIk) is about hunger and desperation, and only maybe cannibalism.

Pretty Lavinia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc4SIEt1kTc) is about a barkeep who is definitely not doing murders on the side.

Sweet Rosalie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T009gPc5c0) is almost certainly not responsible for all those dead folks. Anyone could have worn her father's head as a mask.

Hail Columbia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9vY8uxU2_U), there's murder in me yet.

[Lateral]

Been listening to a lot of Patti Smith lately always, she is a national treasure. "Birdland" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OReJIwNVOz4) is probably my favorite song of all time, despite the fact that hardly any of it really counts as singing. "Piss Factory" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFcWBrkQ87M) I discovered more recently, but it hit me like a sledgehammer the first time I heard it.

New Parsonsfield album came out a few months ago, and I'm still listening to it. Folk rock/Americana band in the vein of the Avett Brothers. Their cover of "The Moonshiner" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcnA0Z4ZnvU) is worth checking out, as any of the stuff on their actual releases (Bandcamp (https://parsonsfieldmusic.bandcamp.com/)).

Breeders! I finally got around to checking out Mountain Battles. I love Pod so much, not sure why I didn't sooner. It usually takes at least a month for my thoughts about a new album to settle, but "Regalame Esta Noche" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7SrcMlJJZw) and "Walk It Off" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdX7G99Rhbc) are standouts so far. Seriously cannot wait for the new album, if they ever get around to making it.

Speaking of people who seem to be having trouble releasing a goddamn album: Hardcore. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcSxkipfaYo) It's got less of that bluesiness that I really liked about other Reignwolf songs (more reminiscent of the Seven Deadly Sins album, though good luck finding a full copy— I've been able to dig up everything but the title track), but it's still pretty solid. Now WEN DEBUT ALBUM

[Avianmosquito]

this song is my nightmare (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyv905Q2omU) (but I like listening to it)

This is a song I hum to myself when I need quiet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgFHM8HMbWQ)

this is my song when I want to be loud. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1c2OfAzDTI) there's no real reason why.


This is my favorite wake-up song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiCxqhu9cio)

This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt-I_T_z2vo) and this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlmhMS_luX8) are my songs of choice before bed.

In addition, I also have a modest playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLqKJqzJ2QkEK7t6OB9ussOpSeBWlX4Ai) of songs as I find them called "Dark Lounge music" which is good rainy day, sometimes gloomy music. it helps me write.

[kyoryu]

Here pretty much so I may listen to it even more!

Love that song so much. Love playing that bass line.

[Das_Tabby]

One of my favorite songs, maybe because it fits my favorite class so well :smalltongue:
Van Canto - The Bardcall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvajtyyAN-s)

And another very cool song by Van Canto, which one of my GMs once used as inspiration for a small part of his campaign
It's also one of the few true acapella songs of the band... (I think the only other is their cover of "The Bard's Song")
Van Canto - Last night of the kings (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt4CQc1MSso)

[Velaryon]

My musical addiction lately has been The Pretty Reckless. I heard Take Me Down (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQpZv2r8fb4) on the radio randomly one day, looked up the song, and fell in love. It's not like they're original or anything, but they have a certain old-school feel to them that sets them apart from other modern rock bands. Plus I just think it's really cool that the singer, Taylor Momsen, had a successful career as an actress but then just decided one day "%&* it, I'd rather be a rock star" and just up and walked away from acting to start a band.


I don't know what it is, but I felt a shock just now. And now, I'm listening to this, a thing I haven't even heard, much less willingly listened to, in years. (Yes, this entire album. I am trying to figure out what I felt and what it has to do with this.)

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1K3DzzUmowbpzRzLTN_mO4XixLqmS0j

Anyway... That's good quality for rap. I know that isn't saying much, but it's far and away better than the rest of the genre... And that isn't saying much either. It's actually GOOD. That's what I'm saying. Whatever. So... Yeah. Enjoy.

(...I'm going to go take a shower. Maybe light myself on fire. ****ing rap music. I don't know why I feel such a instinctive, visceral repulsion to rap music... Actually, yes I do. But this isn't that kind of rap. It's not 50-Cent, or Eminem or DMX. It's pretty much a different genre.)

Every time I hear Aesop Rock mentioned, I immediately think of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBI6-OvB3rg) mashup done on the excellent Ocarina of Rhyme. Team Teamwork has tons of rap songs set to video game music, but that one is easily my favorite.

[Prince Zahn]

After much going back and forth I've decided that I like Suzanne Vega and am binge listening to her stuff (not everything, though)

Some of my favorites from her work (and likely most if not every fan's)

This week I've been in a dark and melancholy mood, and I've been listening to a lot of:

Die Moritat von Mackie Messer (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zMWc4h77e2o)

Seeräuber Jenny (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec0clERjQ5A)

Both by Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill from "The Threepenny Opera",

and

Battle on the Ice (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_uez8dJ-MGw[/url)

by Sergei Prokofiev

To try and brighten my mood I tried to listen to

Police On My Back (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WXJxYNUoJKs)

by The Equals (I first heard the Clash's cover version long ago) and while that helped a bit, it was the proto-Funk of their

Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P5G3Ffta-ic)

that lifted my funk, and now I have

Friday on My Mind (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3iW2_Ec3uEU)

(The Easybeats)

I finally found out that classical music song that starts very slow and build up to a very fast pace is called "In the Hall of the Mountain King" I have been searching it for years...

And it seems I'm not the only one. The internet is that weird place where you notice you are not the ONLY ONE about anything.

After he heard it play from a toy of his baby brother I told him what the source (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_Gynt_(Grieg)) of the tune was he looked on the internet to learn how to play it on a keyboard which he did!

And it seems I'm not the only one. The internet is that weird place where you notice you are not the ONLY ONE about anything.

One of the most famous pieces of classical music. Shame its name - or composer - isn't more well known.

I blame Looney Tunes, personally. All those years watching an animated rabbit doing silly stuff to some amazing classical music, and kids have no idea they're listening to, like... the first movement of Winter from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons or whatever.


And in that spirit, here's a couple of the more commonly mis-characterised classical pieces:

Another Looney Tunes classic, the William Tell Overture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7O91GDWGPU). Written by Gioachino Rossini (I had to look up his first name, heh). The entire movement is much longer, and quite beautiful. These days, used as "horse-riding" music like in the The Lone Ranger and whatnot.

Hopefully we all know that the Ride of the Valkyries (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOYlgvI1uE) by Richard Wagner was written as part of the Ring Cycle opera. It's actually an interlude, a prologue to the third movement of the second cycle.

The Entry of the Gladiators (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0) was written by Julius Fucik as a military march. Yeah. Instead of its more recent purpose as go-to circus music.

The Flight of the Bumblebee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QV1RGMLUKE), written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, is another interlude for an opera - not just a piece of music written to be played over some sped-up video.

[KillingAScarab]

One of the most famous pieces of classical music. Shame its name - or composer - isn't more well known.

I blame Looney Tunes, personally. All those years watching an animated rabbit doing silly stuff to some amazing classical music, and kids have no idea they're listening to, like... the first movement of Winter from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons or whatever.


And in that spirit, here's a couple of the more commonly mis-characterised classical pieces:

Another Looney Tunes classic, the William Tell Overture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7O91GDWGPU). Written by Gioachino Rossini (I had to look up his first name, heh). The entire movement is much longer, and quite beautiful. These days, used as "horse-riding" music like in the The Lone Ranger and whatnot.

Hopefully we all know that the Ride of the Valkyries (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOYlgvI1uE) by Richard Wagner was written as part of the Ring Cycle opera. It's actually an interlude, a prologue to the third movement of the second cycle.

The Entry of the Gladiators (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0CyOAO8y0) was written by Julius Fucik as a military march. Yeah. Instead of its more recent purpose as go-to circus music.

The Flight of the Bumblebee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QV1RGMLUKE), written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, is another interlude for an opera - not just a piece of music written to be played over some sped-up video.I don't see anything wrong with "What's Opera, Doc?" popularizing "Ride of the Valkyries." Sure, not everyone is going to cross over to the genre, but sharing music with people is part of the goal. Time is finite, so there are going to be limits to other people's experience with genres other than their preferred. I recall the host of Fresh Air admitting while she interviewed an orchestra conductor that was her introduction to Wagner. The Al Hirt jazz trumpet improvisation of "Flight of the Bumblebee" used for The Green Hornet was how I first heard that song. Sure, you can end up with negative associations; fortunately, I associated that song more with the concept of a superhero than the stereotypes in the TV series. The MTV parody episode of Tiny Toon Adventures was my introduction to They Might Be Giants. Their music video for Particle Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pG0QTzO-K0) holds up better than Istanbul, I think.

Time to share something else. Since TMBG came up, something from The Else. "Climbing the Walls (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUdoDhLZ9-Q)"

[2D8HP]

One of the most famous pieces of classical music...


I'm actually a little ashamed in that I really don't like much enjoy real 18th century classical music (Handel, Mozart, etc.).

:redface:

I do like me some 19th and 20th century orchestral music (Dvořák, Williams, Holst, Orff etc.), but maybe the orchestral music I most enjoy is the film music of Bernard Herrmann, so I'm not exactly "highbrow".

Anyway here's a small sample:


Herrmann (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kC5AzFc3coo)



Orff (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIpoE2LEps)

REAL music is made using an instrument which doesn't allow for gradation. Harpsichords for life.

In all seriousness, I do quite like some harpsichord pieces. Here's a four hands version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZXQDXDPfdY) of Michiru Yamane's "Garibaldi Temple"

Michael Giacchino's soundtrack for Doctor Strange also had some harpischord. Charles Scott IV created this remix for the end credits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4uoNAFfvKg).

[Avianmosquito]

My obsession with Bloodborne continues. Today, it's about just how much lore they hid in the lyrics to the various tracks. Get ready for some Ecclesiastical Latin!


https://youtu.be/cRGRSCAOqh4

Latin:
Horror fidei
Perdet iter,
Soci perdet,
Sanguine Sancta!

Rete, sanguine male
prae istas honos
sanguine sancte, praetor!

English:
Horror of faith will lose the way, the allies will be lost, the holy blood!

A web of sick blood, our honor is to protect the holy blood!

This is the boss theme of two high-ranking members of the healing church clergy who transformed into horrible beasts by imbibing the church's holy blood. These lyrics are your first hint that maybe, just maybe, the blood might be what's turning people into beasts. Which of course it totally is, meaning the church is responsible for this entire mess.



https://youtu.be/tuHzagjqOLU

Latin:
(Maledictus!)
Donum libas,
(Inficimur!)
Valedictus bestia.

(Maledictus!)
Pace do si donas.
(Inficimur!)
Argentum aqua in tenebris.

Ave, sanguine!
Redemptio risor se,
Exi et, exi et, pleba tua salus.

Vale, vale,
(Inficimur!)
In tenebris aqua.

(Maledictus!)
Et argentum aqua.
(Inficimur!)
Et argentum aqua.

Sanguine!
Sanguine!

English:
Slandered! Gift us a sip, poisoned, having bidden farewell from the beast.

Slandered! If you surrender, I give you peace. Silver water in the darkness.

Hail, with blood! Redeem the mocker from himself, you depart, and your pleb departs safety.

Farewell, Farewell, poisoned in the dark water.

Slandered If you surrender, I give you peace. Poisoned silver water in the darkness

Hail, with blood. Redeem the mocker from himself, you depart, and your pleb departs safety.

Farewell, farewell, poisoned in the dark water.

Slandered and silver water, poisoned and silver water.

Blood!

Blood!

And here we have more healing church blood-worship. This is the theme to Yahar'Gul, the unseen village. Here, we find out the church has been abducting people, and in this track we get some clue as to why. It seems the church knew their blood was poisoned and was giving it out anyway, and Yahar'Gul is how they were covering it up. Fittingly, the School of Mensis is located in Yahar'Gul, and they're the ones harboring the great one Mergo. Curiously, they've also abducted a member of the choir... It seems there's a little schism in the church. Gee, I wonder what about.

Latin:
Venator feram tor,
Sanguine vigore.
Venator dominus,
Ama va nihilo,
Animus sanguine,
Refugit opulentum!

Maledictus fiat nocte
E sanguine maledictus!

Maledictus fiat nocte
E sanguine maledictus!

Oh venator,
Beatus sanctus!
Bonum fati par dia.
Domus aeterna fiat nocte,
Perit sanguine opulentum!

*MUSIC PICKS UP IMMENSELY AS THE BOSS THAT WAS ALREADY WRECKING YOUR **** STARTS USING HIS SWORD*

English:
Hunter of Beasts, the vigor of blood. Lord of hunters, from beloved to forgotten, the soul recoils from rich blood!

Cursed be the night, the blood of the cursed!

Oh hunter, blessed saint! A good death is a blessing. Home becomes an eternal night, gone is the rich blood!

*MUSIC PICKS UP BECAUSE THIS BOSS IS SO ****ING COOL*

Okay before I comment on the lore: Best boss, right here. Terrifying intro, badass mid-boss cinematic, two enormously distinct stages that have a lore justification, the holy moonlight sword, the soundtrack is AWESOME, his body looks like a Cyriak cartoon and it's both disgusting and awe-inspiring, and DID I MENTION THE SWORD?

Click here to watch a guy get WRECKED by this boss: https://youtu.be/syinEWWgbns

Oh, yeah, the lore. That's what I'm supposed to be doing here. This track reaffirms that Ludwig was a great hunter (first hunter of the church, specifically), and that his fame dissipated after his passing. But it also hints at the nature of the Hunter's Nightmare, an eternal night and an eternal hunt, where Ludwig is trapped. It reflects on the hunt and how it drives hunters to become beasts, remember Ludwig has spent decades trapped in an endless hunt, and tells him that death is a mercy at this point. (Or rather, "a good death is a blessing".)

After the fight, you then have the option to hear from his severed head (no, really) about the Holy Moonlight Sword, where he hints at the sword's true nature. "Good hunter, have you seen the thread of light? Just a hair, a fleeting thing, yet I clung to it, steeped as I was in the stench of blood and beasts. I never wanted to know, what it really was. Really, I didn't.", says he before he loses his mind. This dialogue, the sword and the guidance rune hint that Ludwig was manipulated by the Moon Presence.

Further, if you approach his head dressed as a member of the church, he gives a different set of lore. "Good Hunter of the Church, have you seen the light? Are my Church Hunters the honorable spartans I hoped they would be?" And here you have two heartbreaking options.

You tell him yes, to which he replies "Ah, good...that is a relief to know I did not suffer such denigration for nothing. Thank you kindly. Now I may sleep in peace. Even in this darkest of nights, I see...the moonlight...". You can also tell him no, to which he replies "Oh, my. Just as I feared. Then a beast-possessed degenerate was I, as my detractors made eminently clear. Does the nightmare never end?", and he loses his mind.

The part that makes it heartbreaking is that the latter answer is the truth. The Healing Church is corrupt and evil, they are knowingly destroying Yharnam, the beastly curse is their fault and for a while they've known it was and haven't stopped. They've covered it up, they've killed those who discovered the truth, and they've sacrificed the city for the vain and selfish desire of ascension. If you tell him that, he will lose his mind in despair, and the only way to allow him to die in peace is to lie to him.

This boss is only the first boss of the DLC, and he's a very well developed character for how little you see of him.



https://youtu.be/BCDEDi5gDPo

Latin:
Sic filii scite tibi vi sacramentum
Erit premium sanguine sanctum

Erit premium sanguine sanctum absconditum
Vel venio humanitas tendo pendere

SANGUINE SANCTUM

Honesta rete sanguinem
Expectare iste blasphemia
Es vītae ita dissimilum
Terras vicerit tranem bestia
Onesta rete sanguinem
Expectare iste blasphemia
Hac mysterium obsumus
Arguam vitae eret non absolvis

Dido tus
Timere

Dido tus
Sanguine

Timere
venena scitis

Festiva praestabere
Sanguine Sanctum
Ita venite iste vinum langueo
Oh, succus temero.

English:
So you skillfully imposed the sacrament upon the children. There will be a reward from the Holy Blood.

There will be a reward the Holy Blood keeps secret. Something humanity depends on.

HOLY BLOOD!

An honest net of blood. Wait, is this blasphemy? Is life any different? He overcame wild lands, beyond the net of the Holy Blood. Wait, is this blasphemy? This mystery is beset by maintaining life, but was not absolved.

You were tricked, be afraid.

You were tricked by blood.

Be afraid to be poisoned.

The feast is guaranteed on the Holy Blood, so let be this languish wine. Oh, poisonous juice.

This track speaks for itself, and is a basic summary of Laurence's role in the plot. Master Willem taught him to fear the blood of the Great Ones, and the corruption it instills in beasts such as ourselves. "Ours eyes are yet to open, fear the old blood." He ignored this warning, and so our tragedy commences.

Laurence went on to become first vicar of the Healing Church. He was corrupted by the blood and founded a religion around it. Blood worship, the deception of blood healing, these were his means of convincing people to join his cult. This, and the promise of more.

The holy blood betrayed and destroyed those that imbibed it, even him. As Willem warned him, the blood was never a promise of salvation. It revealed a truth that struck fear into them and eventually corrupted them. In the end, the church accepted this. They had been deceived and poisoned, and in despair they went along with it anyway.

Laurence is the source of all the horrors of the game. This track details how and why he did what he did, well-meaning fool that he was. How, in the end, his people realised their fault but nevertheless finished the tragedy they started. Let it never be said that a sympathetic villain is not a true villain. This man created great horrors in his life, but he believed that in doing so he was finding a relationship between humanity and the great ones. He was seeking a means to bring together man and god, and he thought he had found it. What he found was proof of the opposite, the eldritch truth. There is no god within mankind, humans are beasts, animals. They will never and can never be anything more.



https://youtu.be/uZWpYGuqsHI

Latin:
Venator
Ah mi summus venata
Anima tor feci so vre re mal
Venare insidiosus
Mira tenebrarum
Hic sic scitis miseriae aeterna

English:
Hunter, ah, supreme I hunted! I did it to cleanse the soul from evil. An insidious hunt, a wonderful darkness, but this way I knew eternal misery.

And so Bloodborne continues the long-running Souls theme of killing distraught old men to sad music. This time, it's killing your mentor on a field of asphodels to an emotional orchestral score. I know he was a hunter, and that he bought into the healing church and its insanity, but he wasn't in a position to know any better. And seeing him in-game as he is, trapped in the dream and unable to escape, waiting for his dead mentors to come save him... Yeah.

[Avianmosquito]

Pantera. I know I've praised them before, but they are still my favourite band. They're a straight injection of testosterone in the myringa, they're probably the most masculine metal band in the history of heavy metal. The raw emotion boils off of their every word, and it varies from rage to joy to despair to pain to pride. No album better encapsulates this than Vulgar Display of Power.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy4Db3eCxeg

Listen to this, the intro to the album. Listen to Anselmo growl out words, listen to the lyrics. This track is about the harnessing of anger to productive ends, the power to focus, force and bend until what's in front of you meets your needs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ0bG_7L3Sw

This is a song about Anselmo harnessing his past hardships and deriving motivation from it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evc3Xtc84N0

Pantera made it big. This track is dedicated to their "friends" who suddenly hated them once they were famous. This is a "take that" to those who undermined him and whispered his faults the moment he was in a better position than them. This song is an over five minute long condemnation of jealousy and betrayal.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E929gqIcwwI

This track condemns the skewed priorities and questionable morals of [CENSORED FOR BEING POLITICAL]. It's not hard to figure out where they fall. "The truth in right and wrong, the boundaries of the law; You seem to miss the point. Arresting for a joint? You seem to wonder why hundreds of people die. You're writing tickets man, my mom got jumped they ran."



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fKlgxSKNdU

This has got to be the most pain-ridden metal track since "Snuff" (though actually, it came before Snuff).


Eh, screw it, I've got to go. I'll finish the album later, I didn't even get to Regular People (the "stop imitating me to look tough" song). Or maybe I won't.

[Velaryon]

I love their music (and some from Down as well), but it's a constant struggle to separate my enjoyment of the music from my distaste for Phil Anselmo as a person.

I mean, I can still like a band when the singer's a jerk. The Smashing Pumpkins and Iced Earth are two of my favorite bands, though both Billy Corgan and Jon Schaffer seem like jerks and control freaks who drive away talented band members with their "my way or the highway" attitudes. But some of the things Phil has said over the years make me think he's just a truly awful person.


Anyway, that's off-topic. Here's my contribution to the thread today. Someone made a duet version of War Pigs containing vocals from both Ozzy and Dio. It's glorious. I'm pretty sure it's edited together from two live recordings instead of being recorded for real, but just hearing them together in the same song and imagining what seeing that on stage would have been like is enough to give me chills.

So I am currently getting addicted to Tuvan Throat Singing. This is the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0djHJBAP3U) I am listening to right now. There is a comment in the comment section that lists the starting point of songs, so you can go back and forth to your favourites.

[Arcane_Snowman]

Let's start with a bit of Nephew:
"007 is Also Gonna Die" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY9eTihrKM0)

"A Wannabe Darth Vader" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO4QAQijZXk)

"Igen og Igen" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMaVOcLHygE)

"Klokken 25" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mse4J7AeyWo)

And in case you were wondering, they don't make much more sense when singing in Danish either.

[nyjastul69]

I'm a big Rush fan. This (https://youtu.be/JphWi_GOIao) is one of my favorite Rush songs. It always puts me in a happy place. My favorite portion is between the 4:30 and 8:30 marks.

I find this (https://youtu.be/7NGaUZcT9Lw) song so depressing I can't even listen to it anymore.

[Corlindale]

Let's start with a bit of Nephew:
"007 is Also Gonna Die"

"A Wannabe Darth Vader"

"Igen og Igen"

"Klokken 25"

And in case you were wondering, they don't make much more sense when singing in Danish either.

Uh, I like Nephew. Their lyrics are crazy in either language, though.

Here's some more Danish music (though some of it has English lyrics).

Masselinjen by Kliche (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYLKouOCwLY)

I find this song really meditative. The tune stays fairly simple and there's only 1 repeated line of lyrics.

The Balcony by The Rumour Said Fire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyqHFfKwlLg)

A really relaxing and catchy folk-pop song. This is pretty much the quintessential summer tune for me.

Moi Caprice - The Art of Kissing Properly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfZ2cYeKN0E)

Dreamlike pop music.

Analogik - Farligt Monster (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqJrBCsyevo)

A completely bonkers, mostly instrumental track by a band that describes their style as a mix of polka, jazz, Balkan music, sea shanty, tango, hip hop and electronica. They made some of the music for Battleblock Theater as well, I think.

An old one, I remembered this song ever since visiting one of my friends and hearing his father listen to it when I was a kid. I didn't find it again until a few years ago.

[Lord of Gifts]

One of the most famous pieces of classical music. Shame its name - or composer - isn't more well known.

I blame Looney Tunes, personally. All those years watching an animated rabbit doing silly stuff to some amazing classical music, and kids have no idea they're listening to, like... the first movement of Winter from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons or whatever.


And in that spirit, here's a couple of the more commonly mis-characterised classical pieces:

The entire movement is much longer, and quite beautiful. These days, used as "horse-riding" music like in the The Lone Ranger and whatnot.

The Flight of the Bumblebee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QV1RGMLUKE), written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, is another interlude for an opera - not just a piece of music written to be played over some sped-up video.

First movement of Spring actually, if you're on about what I think you are. Certainly, that's the most common on tv and in films. Personally though, Winter is my favourite. Also, the rest of his violin concertos are pretty good, particularly La Caccia/The Hunt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2X0nwQB65U).

However, for those with a more modern taste, I recently stumbled across The Vivaldi Metal Project (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP0ZR-fp1iU). How had I not heard of these guys?

[Honest Tiefling]

On the topic of metal music, here is a Ned Flanders metal tribute band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BEvh6HSQc0).

[Corlindale]

In a quest to find genuinely interesting pop music I stumbled upon Metric. I am now in love.

The Shade (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaUlH3QQEAQ) is my favourite. There's something about it that just makes me incredibly happy, I must have listened to it at least 30 times within the last 24 hours.

I am only starting to scratch the surface of their catalogue, but I also like Speed the Collapse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiQ1QpNSkA), although it's a fair bit darker.

[rooster707]

After hearing The Struts on the radio for a while, I decided to listen to more of their stuff. Turns out they only have two albums, but it's very good.

[Monolilith]

Classical and metal are fantastic, but you can never be lacking in electropop! Here's three of my personal favorites from that sphere.

I hope no one's linked Porter Robinson yet, 'cause I'm about to. This guy's music always makes me feel safe, in that kind of, 'thank the heavens someone gets how it FEELS' sort of way. If you listen to Divinity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si81bIoZRJQ) and you aren't sold, try Fellow Feeling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ardc3nrQMxw). It's breathtaking. I can't listen to it without tearing up.

Speaking of Robinson, he actually just wrapped up a tour with another one of my favorite artists, Madeon! That's more electropop for you - try You're On (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp0NOjZlNlo) or Pay No Mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC_Ya4cY8RQ) if you're feeling peppy, but Innocence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz10F2Rtqv8) and Only Way Out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXGk_GcQ09g)are almost soothing. Zephyr (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HZNUMyzhA8) is a little too hard-edged for some, but I can never stop listening to it when I start.

And speaking of the Shelter tour, they have a collab that just gets more lovely the more you listen to it, which is actually called Shelter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQnC1UHBvWA)!

Then there's Purity Ring - more of a haunting, weird vibe, like if synthpop had a bit of a fling with trip hop and woke up a changed genre. Try Begin Again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftkJNilA4Ao) for something more dramatic, but I personally feel Bodyache (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btqAHQJ-jJQ) does their general feel more justice, though I adore both.

You all have such great taste in music, though! I'm glad someone mentioned Thomas Bergersen early on... saved everyone an overenthusiastic rant from yours truly.

... I really hope I've made enough posts for those links to go through.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gzMu6ugTNfA



Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
The truth begins again
The truth is not that comfortable, no

Mother taught us patience
The virtues of restrain
Father taught us boundaries
The knowledge we must go
I'm trying to protect my unity

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way

A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
Sign it with complete community

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way

Now that the sky is empty
And that is nothing new
Instead they look upon us
When they tell me
That we're nothing
I say!

And I say!
That's when I reach for my revolver

Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
They've turned things inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no

And mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
And father taught us boundaries
Beyond which we must go
To find the secrets promised us, yeah

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way

A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And live inside his name
Cry and whispers sing in muted pain

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way

Tonight the sky is empty
But that is nothing new
Its dead eyes look upon us
And they tell me we're nothing but slaves
That's when I reach for my revolver
(...but slaves)
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver

While I well remember the original (I had the album!), I liked the new version as well.

Remember these guys? I ****ing LOVE these guys.

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.

Okay. Different band, then. Anybody know this one?

Too soft? Maybe this, then?

Beyond the gray, a storm is shaping
bringing blight and violent shaking;
with the bells the ghost awakens.

Speaking in the mental language,

From this shell the ghost awakens
singing spells of mind and matrix.

Omg when I first registered to this forum, I could not find a thread like this so happy i have finally found it aha. Anyways, for now, I simply come by only to leave one of the many random/weird songs that I listen to. ^^

"Gurdy's Green" - Patty Gurdy ("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGfnlO_z97E)

[neriractor]

some that I´ve been hearing lately:

Cuarteto de nos - Miguel gritar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJBLufs15Vg)

I'm in one of those moods again. See you tomorrow. Maybe.

[Baby Gary]

I really like most classical music (and by classical I mean Baroque to contemporary) especially Baroque and even a bit renaissance. some of my favorite pieces are Bach's "Little" Fugue in G minor, Revel's Bolero, Poachable canon, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Wagner's The ride of the Valkyries and The flying Dutchman, Offenbach's Can Can. the list goes on, try a few of these song, they are amazing.

[Feytalist]

For those of us who like classical (or simply acoustic in this case, I guess) guitar, here's Estas Tonne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gphiFVVtUI). He's a sort of a professional street artist. His compositions are really inspired, and I don't think I've ever quite heard anyone else play quite like him.

[2D8HP]

Since I just learned from another thread that I'm no longer considered an "X-er", but I'm now classed as a "Boomer", it's time for me to stop with the "New Wave" and "Punk", and instead go with "Classic Rock".

So here's Merry Clayton and some Brits:

I'm listening to two steps from hell, the closest thing to heaven that music has to offer (along with almost every Baroque, Classical, and Romantic song). Listen to them, their songs will blow your socks off, try Victory, Cannon in D minor, Heart of Courage, Blackheart, Winterspell, Star Sky, All is hell that ends well (All from TSHF)

Flying Lotus - Never Catch Me

[Peebles]

I picked up At the Drive In's new album, In-ter-a-li-a yesterday, and now can't stop listening to it. Their first new material since reforming, sixteen years since their last album and it's absolutely incredible. I can even forgive them for making me feel so damn old with the sixteen year thing. :smalltongue:

[Avianmosquito]

I just met somebody who made me think of this (https://youtu.be/Hw1ncADC9KM) for some reason. Hm. Why could that be?

Probably because a douchebag who looked like that beat the **** out of my favorite customer last night. I am slightly upset.

[B-Man]

I've recently let Spotify tell me what to listen to for awhile and it's algorithm has given me 6 Daily Mix playlists; I'll share the first song from each list.

Daily Mix 1:
Omnipresent Perception (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa_t-RACeUU) (Via YouTube)
Beyond Creation

Daily Mix 2:
The Pursuit of Vikings (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-43pOqheMY) (Via YouTube)
Amon Amarth

Daily Mix 3:
Meet Matt Stryker (https://soundcloud.com/carpenter_brut/meet-matt-stryker) (Via Soundcloud)
Carpenter Brut

Daily Mix 4:
Promised Grace (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) (https://soundcloud.com/sschafi1/09-promised-grace-final) (Via Soundcloud)
Sean Schanfianski
I really wish that Spotify had the official FFCC soundtrack available to listen to. Kumi Tanioka composed a suburb soundtrack for the game!

Daily Mix 5:
Day Twelve: Trauma (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSKtHnt8lKI) (Via YouTube)
Ayreon

Daily Mix 6:
Breaking the Law (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L397TWLwrUU) (Via YouTube)
Judas Priest

All-in-all, I think that the Spotify algorithm has learned my musical taste quite nicely.

[2D8HP]

Something to make you move (original artist):


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SGyAAWu3Gks

The first version I every heard was by The Rolling Stones (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EVJUJxCQp0I)

[Avianmosquito]

https://youtu.be/0hxMs0cVCdM

This has been stuck in my head lately. No reason.

[2D8HP]

Well, Avianmosquito, I dedicate this song to you:


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9vEBPYfy1GM

[AuthorGirl]

The music I usually listen to is rather different from the music I play. Playing Baroque, Classical, and Romantic music is something akin to swimming in the sky (Sonatina in C Major, Op. 55, No. 1 by F. Kuhlau is a piece I have loved for a long time, the Vivace movement being by far the best in my opinion). But I'm pretty sure this is a thread for music to listen to, so . . .

Adele
"Rolling in the Deep"
"Set Fire to the Rain"

Joseph (Natalie, Meegan, and Allison Closner)
"White Flag"
"Blood and Tears"
"Honest"
"Eyes to the Sky"
"Whirlwind"
These last two are a bit religious - with "Eyes to the Sky" it depends on how you listen, but "Whirlwind" is pretty blatantly talking to God at one point. If you'd rather not hear that, I'd advise not listening.

Elizaveta
"Hero"

Alan Doyle
"Summer Summer Night"

Tegan and Sara
"The Con"
"The Ocean"
"The Cure"
"U-Turn"
"Hell"
"Northshore"
"Goodbye, Goodbye"
"I know I know I know"

Donovan Woods
"What Kind of Love Is That"

Hosier
"Take Me to Church"

David Usher
"They Will Believe (in this love)"

The last three songs all reference religion in some way. "What Kind of Love Is That" seems to be a song of praise. The other two are some pretty harsh commentary on Christianity.

Anyway, there are more, these are just a few of my favourites. :smallsmile:

[Avianmosquito]

What shall we use (https://youtu.be/CS_FCbQ-okM), to fill... The empty... spaces? The waves of hunger... Roar.... Shall we set out across this sea... Of faces? In search of more... and more... Applause?

Shall we buy a new guitar? Shall we drive a more powerful car? Shall we work straight through the night? Shall we GET INTO FIGHTS, leave the lights on, DROP BOMBS, do tours of the east, contract diseases, BURY BONES, BREAK UP HOMES, send flowers by phone, TAKE TO DRINK, go to shrinks, give up meat, RARELY SLEEP, keep people as pets, train dogs, raise rats, fill the attic with cash, bury treasure for our leisure but NEVER RELAX AT ALL, with our backs to the wall?

Tori Kelly - Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing (SING Movie Soundtrack)

[Goodkill]

i'm going to brag about how good my soundtrack is (referencing AvianMosquito's sig lol). i wouldn't ask anybody to listen to the whole thing as it's 35 tracks long (actually 36, but i didn't upload the 36th track, or the loops i made for background). and it's not that great actually ... but the melodies and rhythms are simple and fun to listen to.

i worked hard at making sure there was a reasonably uniform quality of my tracks, but i do have some i like more than others, if you want to give a listen :)

1) 14 Stone Giant Guarding the Ancient Great Road
2) 25 Ruins
3) 17 Plesiosaur-Like Monster Guarding the Heart of the Earth
4) 0 The Dark Unicorn
5) 20 Half Dragon's Monster Stronghold
6) 4 Haunted Mausoleum
7) 3 Theme for The City of Scales

it's like 11 or 12 minutes total to listen to all these.

edit: actually because the CoS theme is kind of long, maybe 15 minutes

[Thurbane]

The new Danzig song is actually pretty good!
Nice and bluesy, a bit like some of the slower tracks on Lucifuge and How the Gods Kill.

I am a true metalhead, but i won´t suggest heavy metal.... i recomend VnV Nation, that band made me like electronic music. Begin with "Illusion", "Nova" or "Beloved" :smallsmile:

I love Illusion. That song gets me every time.

As for now, I am chilling out to some Infected Mushroom. Big fan of Vicious Delicious and Army of Mushrooms.

Looking for any and all suggestions.

The likes of Uriah Heep and Steppenwolf. Blue Oyster Cult is a must. Hawkwind, even if only for their influence on later metal bands. Motorhead kinda started in the 70s, I guess? Early Alice Cooper fits. UFO, Scorpions, Van Halen, Foreigner... Aerosmith if you really want. Cirith Ungol on the heavier side.

If you want to stretch your genre definitions a bit, Creedence, Skynyrd, Joe Walsh could be good. Yes and the prog gang, too. Thin Lizzy's heavier songs.

Aqua is fantastic. Got a lot of programming done while listening to them in the background. Also just listening to them whenever.

I just wonder why they aren't more popular (judging by youtube views and likes). But they are known for mainly just two albums.

Also didn't see mentioned The Offspring. I really liked Rise and Fall Rage and Grace.

I'll also mention a couple old favorites. Opeth (death metal but have a really good singer), Tristania (makes for great D&D fantasy music!), Flyleaf (if you're okay with Christian rock; though is a good band regardless), Fireflight (another Christian rock; maybe less attractive to non-religious folks). I'm at a friend's house so i don't have my mp3 player to look up other musicians i like. Ah, Nightwish of course - another good one for the D&D sword and sorcery type themes. Nile for good "Egyptian themed" death metal, also good for dungeon delving music. Sirenia (related to Tristania because founded by the same guy) is also decent. Can't think of any more off the top of my head.

[kyoryu]

Flyleaf is more "rock that happens to be Christian" than straight-out Christian rock.

[KillingAScarab]

There's a new free OCRemix album, based on Hiroki Kikuta's soundtrack to Secret of Mana. Resonance of the Pure Land (http://mana.ocremix.org/) has a lot of good tracks, but right now, "Footsteps to Destiny" (an arrangement of "One of them is Hope") is the one I find the most moving.

[Velaryon]

I've been all over the place lately, musically speaking.

One recent band I've found is Pomplamoose. They're a husband and wife duo that does a lot of fun songs and covers. They kind of only have one speed, so I can only listen to so much at once, but I like them quite a bit even though they're well outside the kind of music I normally listen to. Here's one of their more amusing songs:


https://youtu.be/FlDGFrP4NgI


I've also been on a Motown kick the last few days, just devouring music from the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, the Supremes, and a dozen other acts. I could also pretty much listen to Ben E. King sing "Stand By Me" on repeat for the rest of eternity and I don't know that I'd ever get sick of it. But there's just too many good songs out there to stick to one, no matter how much I like it.


Last week I had a craving for some In Extremo, who I was big into 13 or 14 years ago. I found one of their songs on Headbanger's Ball one day while I was home from college, and proceeded to tell all my friends about this new band I'd found that was "basically Rammstein with bagpipes." Eventually I came to find they were a lot more than just that, but sometimes Rammstein with bagpipes is exactly what I want! (I was going to link one of their videos, but apparently I can only do one video per post).

[KillingAScarab]

One recent band I've found is Pomplamoose.I haven't checked out Pomplamoose in some time. Here's their "My Favorite Things" cover, in which they also explain the band name and then get inundated with requests for soap.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvYZMqQffQE

I particularly like the accordion on that one.

[YangerDanger]

Anything by The Megas or Protomen, especially "History Repeating" and "The Will of One"

[Spanish_Paladin]

I recommend "the lady of shalott" and "Higwayman". Two great adaptations by Loreena McKennitt of two famous poems. I cry every time i hear them.

[2D8HP]

Here's yet another song from my youth:

[secretandsafe]

the sailor by the album leaf
the greatest by cat power

13 angels standing guard 'round the side of your bed by a silver mt. zion

[2D8HP]

And here's yet another AWESOME song from 1978
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7S3yCniClJY


The tv screen becomes my eye
It's the legal monster of a future time
There's no opinion that ain't my own
No thought that isn't mine...
completely

I said 21 years is a long long time
To be in this prison when there ain't no crime
So go on jailer won't you bring the key
I want to break down the door
Can you hear me?

You know the damage gets done so fast
It's all the truths that just don't last

I got creeps in drag crawling round my door
Disguised as priests they quote the law
Selling bibles for a secret fee
They say it's all done for me
I'm such a lucky man

You know the damage gets done so fast
It's all the truths that just don't last
It's another lie they want to uphold
Another day till we all grow old and break down

So I get bored with a TV mind
No place to go no future's mine
NF banners flying in the wind
Like free lobotomies
I don't recommend one

So open your mouth and you get done
The police state keeps you on the run
Scream injustice better scream it loud
Get punched down in the crowd
And what can ya do?

You know the damage gets done so fast
It's all the truths that just don't last
It's another lie they want to uphold
Another day till we all grow old and break down
You know that damage gets done so fast, listen one time. You know that justice that'll never last. I said I'll break down and another day when my life grows old. We'll never listen. Another day when we'll never get told about what's going on. And that's just when I wanna break out, I wanna get out get out of here now. You know I just want to smash that door. Wanna take my time and I don't wanna see no small TV. Don't wanna see you. I don't wanna listen to a thing that they say. I wanna crash out, I wanna smash, I wanna smash it all. I said I got to take it away. I can't stand it no more. Because I just want to break out. I said I can't take any more. Because it's too much to handle. I said no more. A crime against the state. That's another shame...

[JoshL]

(How is this my first post in this thread!?!?)

So a friend is running a tabletop game where the players have to go to a NYC goth club in 1993. He asked for a club mix appropriate for the era. I threw this together last night. I was shooting for equal parts goth and industrial, a focus on music from 90-93 (clubs tend to play recent tracks) with some older classics thrown in (goth clubs, in my experience, do love the classics, more than the typical non-retro dance night). He asked for 30 minutes, but I put together a full 2 hour set. Even took a couple requests! With some in-jokes; someone asked for Christian Death, so I put in an old tune, followed by an ex-member's current project. Exactly the sort of thing a dj would do! I'm not a dj, but I think some of the transitions came out pretty well, particularly into the NIN track (I think around 50 minutes in, I should have wrote down times). Anyway, enjoy!

I'm currently expanding in the wider world of Synthwave beyond Pertubator and the Hotline Miami soundtrack. Still like those the most, but Trevor Something is also pretty good. (How could you go wrong when you sample The Prodigy, Depeche Mode, and Dark Star. :smallwink: )
Still not quite feeling it for Carpenter Brut, though.

[JoshL]

For synthwave, definitely check out Antoni Maiovvi/Giallo Disco. This should keep you busy for a while: https://giallodiscorecords.bandcamp.com/
Also, if you like Perturbator, you might dig GosT, and Dance With The Dead are pretty awesome too. Or don't overthink it, go classic and hit up some Tangerine Dream (though maybe skip 86-95ish)

For myself, I'm working on a cover of it for a local comp, so I've been obsessively listening to Aerith's Theme from FFVII and yes, it still makes me cry every damn time. And I still call her Aeris, so we can fight over that.

Tomorrow, however, I should have a digital download of the new Belly album...the first in over 20 years! I expect I'll be listening to nothing but that for a while. Here's the b-side for the advance 10"

Personally, I'm a big fan of Kanye's new single. Not Lift Yourself, but rather Ye Vs. The People. I feel like it's definitely worth a listen if you like any of the new rap. I also would recommend the G-Eazy single "Fried Rice". Almost nobody I know in school has heard it, but it's honestly really fun. Obviously, G-Eazy's lyrics are nothing to comment on, since they're dumb, but its the execution and beat I like.

Just (re)discovered Butterfly Defect (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b33JAIMISNY) by Kontrust. I heard it some time ago on the radio I think without catching band name or title of the song. Glad to have finally found it, always puts me in a good mood. :smallbiggrin:

I'm just going to park this here for now:


Have at it! Later stuff tends to have a greater concentration of high-energy songs, but that doesn't mean none existed before.

Some old guy is releasing a new album.

That old guy is Paul McCartney, and the new album is called Egypt Station. He has released 3 singles from the album and is planning to publicize it on Sept. 7, 2018. The songs are called Fuh You, Come On To Me, and I Don’t Know. Paul McCartney is the former lead singer for the legendary 60s band, The Beatles.

I very highly recommend this album, or at least the 3 songs he has released. They seem like they’d appeal to almost anybody!https://www.udiscovermusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Paul-McCartney-Egypt-Station-Album-Cover-web-optimised-820.jpg

So there's this meme floating around interpreting Dolly Parton's classic "Jolene" as lovecraftian horror. I thought it was funny and have a tendency to take jokes way too far. I had also just finished rehearsing, was nice and warmed up and singing pretty well, so quickly wrote a couple more verses and recorded it.

And for real covers of the song, I love Strawberry Switchblade, but the version by Ruby is my favorite, and highly recommended.

I've been really into Havana by Camilla Cabello recently

It seems that my personal tastes run more folk-sy than the average person here, but I do recommend "Crossing the Bar". It puts a Lord Alfred Tennyson poem (always a good start) to music. The version I prefer is by The Longest Johns.

Probably recorded in March to October 1969*for the "Back in the U.S.A." album,

I know the music I share is always a bit counter to the usual fare of this thread, but I feel like I can not share this epic. Too bad Tolkien could not have lived long enough to know what his own visions inspired in others. In my opinion, this song can legitimately stand strong in the company of those epics that have come down out of our own past.

From a mid to late 1970's performance by a band formed by former members of the MC5, The Stooges, and other Detroit rock bands, a Chuck Berry song:

I assume there are a few Legend of Zelda fans around here. I was involved in an english language dub of Ocarina, part 1 of which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wL6dQh9TQY

I contributed the end credits music, a rock arrangement of the Hyrule Field theme (with bits of Zelda's Lullabye thrown in for good measure), which is here: https://soundcloud.com/doors-in-the-labyrinth/hyrule-field

pretty pleased with how it came out!
