New passion - Into You by Ariana Grande

Not bad

[aloysius]

Epic music on youtube is dank

[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:

Spoiler

Another Looney Tunes classic, the William Tell Overture. 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 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 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, 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.

However, for those with a more modern taste, I recently stumbled across The Vivaldi Metal Project. How had I not heard of these guys?

[Honest Tiefling]

On the topic of metal music, here is a Ned Flanders metal tribute band.

[Corlindale]

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

The Shade 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, 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.

[Avianmosquito]

This one is part of a skit, but here you go:

Now for humanity's other theme song:

Yes, I am attempting to summarize my opinion of humanity with Monty Python and Weird Al Yankovic. It would be easier and more effective to just say it.

New passion - Into You by Ariana Grande

I like that! and Side to side is also nice.

Now I listen to a new Drake's album More Life.

[Avianmosquito]

In light of what's ongoing in YouTube, I'd like to submit the following:

I shall leave it to you to figure out how these relate to YouTubepocalypse.

What about the greatest band ever to hail from Australia... the Seekers?

Love is kind, love is wine
So much laughter in your eyes
And I know that I will love you
Till the last flower dies

[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 and you aren't sold, try Fellow Feeling. 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 or Pay No Mind if you're feeling peppy, but Innocence and Only Way Out are almost soothing. Zephyr 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!

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 for something more dramatic, but I personally feel Bodyache 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.

Wow. They sound great. I love them. Thank you, D20ragon

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

Does it have to just be songs?

What about albums or symphonies or DJ mixes or EPs or mixtapes or playlists?

[2D8HP]

In a "mood", so...

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

No offence intended, but this is an AWFUL version of the classic 80s song.

No offence intended, but this is an AWFUL version of the classic 80s song....

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

Anyway, how about another goodtime-positive-vibe-feelgood-hit-from the carefree 1980's!

Today I listen to the whole day 'GusGus - Over'

[Avianmosquito]

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.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best mutha****in' song the greatest song in the world.

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

Behold the anger inside
Eyes of the innocent sent their demise
Foretold leaders we create
We the puppets you manipulate

Okay. Maybe something a little less anti-evil.

Observing growth in the thalamus
Inferior temporal gyrus
Orbitofrontal cortex
Larger volumes in the hippocampus
Meditate and track the clockwork of organics

Observable data of gray matter mechanics
Rewired:
neurons increased in size and number,
changing our structure.

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,
forming thoughts and conversations.
From this shell the ghost awakens
singing spells of mind and matrix.

I am awake and I am alive,
for what purpose or directive prime was I designed?
I am awake and I am alive, for what purpose or directive prime?

Still no? Really? Who doesn't like a primal call for purpose from an awakening artificial intelligence? Everybody who isn't me? Okay, fine. I'll try again.

Nocturnal
infernal
The suffering eternal
soaking the rays of celestial light
noctiluca

Profane
arcane
Benediction of bane
falling through cracks of darkness
obumbration


Okay, that was as far from an AI story as I could get. I give up.

[Phantom Flower]

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

[neriractor]

some that I´ve been hearing lately:

Cuarteto de nos - Miguel gritar

La union - Hombre lobo en paris

Panic! at the Disco - Build god then we´ll talk

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. 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:
