I think it's remarkable how it really isn't necessary to understand music on a theoretical level in order to appreciate it. Even when it comes to very complex compositions our brains seem to just "get it"... Well in some cases we might need to be familiarized with the harmonic language, e.g. microtonal or atonal music might take some time for our brain to get used to, but that's not a conscious process and just by exposing ourselves to it, eventually it will start making sense. For me, no other art form can provide such a visceral, even transcendent experience. It also hardly seems to get old. Like, I've seen my favourite films maybe 5-10 times but there are records I've played well over 100 times and I still get new enjoyment out of it every time. Late period Talk Talk, early Kayo Dot, Charles Mingus' more composed/orchestral works, Deerhoof, Duke/Napoleon era Zappa, King Crimson... that stuff just never gets old to me. and for some reason when I'm drunk all I want to do is listen to Joanna Newsom. Not sure why I get so emotional over songs about birds and countesses, but it is what it is :D
Your love for Jonny Greenwood, specifically the Phantom Thread soundtrack, led me to fall in love with him. So i genuinely thank you for that. I listen to that album all the time and consider it one of the most beautiful collections of music of the 21st century. You forever have a fan because of that
Love this so much, boo. Music has shaped my life in a similar fashion. I was never a happy person. I had dark secrets that I had to hide from everybody I love, I was alone and music was the only part of me that I cherished. It helped me through my abuse. I was advent fan of both classical and modern music. I used to produce various musicals in high school to escape my home life. I grew up loving dancing. As you know, I end being in a dancing group for a while. I gathered all kind of musical knowledge from all my travels and it'll be forever be part of me. It gave me a hope to live for and still do. It has helped us both through all of this fucking shit. I'm so happy that you are inspired by these lovely pieces. Love ya, boo. :)
Just found this channel through your mother! review and just wanted to say you're already one of my favorite critics on TH-cam. Even if I disagree with some of your opinions (for example I loved mother!) your knowledge, passion and the clarity and depth of your statements is incredible. The fact that you have a backlog going all the way back to 09 is awesome as well. You deserve way more subscribers. And Chelsea Wolfe is awesome - is your wrist tattoo related to her? I saw her live and I remember that symbol (or something very similar) being on some of her merch.
Thanks! Yes, the tattoo is in reference to her. Not because I'm a diehard fan. But it ties in with the "Sick" song. It represents a portion of my life I survived. So I got a tattoo for it.
I can't explain how much I enjoy hearing other peoples musical journeys and their experiences. From one lover of this beautiful form of art to another Thank You for sharing this, much love :)
Yup relate to the point about film scores. John Williams, Ramin Djawadi, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, John Powell, and a million more- all badass composers.
Final Fantasy music, particularly Nobuo Uematsu's work, never fails to move me. Made me learn to appreciate video game music and is a textbook example of how and when to use music in storytelling, video games or otherwise.
Really enjoyed this. Would love to see more music related videos. One song that always gets me is After The Flood by Talk Talk. It's like the calm and force of nature put into music, or something. Also Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have an energy I totally get swept up by.
Thank you again for another great video, you keep surprising me, not only do you talk about my favourite movies, but you also talk about my favourite music, especially they way you top everything with The End by the Doors, one of my all time favourites. Very impressive.
When you started talking about the erotic power of some pieces of music I immediately thought about The End by The Doors. And than you mentioned it and I felt that warmth, bittersweet sensation of sharing an idea with a person that you don't know and that lives on the opposite side of the world, but that you feel so close in that moment. I usually cry because of Lyrics, but music it's always something more trascendental, phisical and unhinged. Sorry for the long post. (p.s. my favourite radiohead song [and my favourite song in all existance] is the National Anthem)
Wow truly respect and enjoy everting U do, thank U queen! Anden thanks for the Chelsea Wolfe OMJ freaking amazing and wonderful had never heard of her til today.
4:54 Happened to me too when I entered a "recognize the film score" contest held by a group of my fellow students at campus. We were placed in groups depending on what semester we were in. My group won by a huge margin, mostly because yours truly recognized almost all the scores. Saw Bob Dylan live on April 1st (no joke) and Radiohead on June 9th this year. Pieces of music that touched me? Too many to choose from and I generally remember the songs or albums the time of year and what year I first discovered them. For this reason I often remember doing menial or plain things like grocery shopping or basking in the sun because that's what I was doing when I first heard those pieces. I have a great memory and I also believe music can make regular days and seemingly menial tasks so much more enjoyable. The secret to discover great new music is to tune it to playlists that play a lot of good, under-the-radar music , listen to songs included on the soundtracks of movies or games , allow spotify to include "suggested artists" (which is how I discovered bands like Slowdive, Interpol, Pixies, Arcade Fire, The National, The Smiths etc) and read reviews , especially aggregate scores. Above all one needs to have an open mind and listen without prejudice. Most people just lack that ability and therefore listen to "hit radio" playing the same musical pulp again and again and again. I think most people don't put much effort into listening to music or even the slightest of efforts to find music on their own. As such I refer to much of the popular music as "fast food music". Easily found everywhere, aggressively marketed, upheld by an image that has been imprinted on people through commercials but ultimately a scam on your hard-earned money and bad for your digestion.
DeepFocusLens should check out some Kraut Rock if she's into psychedelic music. She would have an immediate appreciation for the genre given her classical upbringing and love for 20th century music.
Brian Eno: ‘Julie With....’ Joni Mitchell: ‘River’ ‘Amelia’ Frank Zappa: ‘Outrage at Valdez’ (classical composition) Neil Young: ‘Lotta Love’ Land of Talk: ‘Inner Lover’ Fleetwood Mac: ‘Beautiful Child’ Neko Case: ‘Star Witness’ Radiohead: ‘Reckoner’ Björk: ‘Unravel’ Kate Bush: ‘Army Dreamers’
Radiohead is great. I have never cried listening to a song but "Let Down" by Radiohead triggered something in me no other band has ever done. Great video keep it up!
I know that I do no comment much but I really enjoy your fascinating reviews. This video really caught my attention. I have been a percussionist for 46 years (yep, I am an old guy).I relate to your passionate spirit for music. My oldest brother was a hippie. He was 9 years older than me. I was influenced greatly by him because he used to hitch to New York and California during the summer (we lived in Ohio) . This was back in the days that teens could thumb across country without incidents. He would tell me about seeing amazing bands like Pink Floyd, The Fuggs, It's A Beautiful Day. As well as experimental plays like The Beard. He would go to the great pyschodelic venues like the Fillmore East in New York and The Fillmore West in San Francisco (as well as Winterland) .My journey (musical and life ) is much long and complex so I won't bore you with my old guy stories. Thank you for sharing your musical journey. I'll close by recommending a fascinating book called Bill Graham Presents. It's an amazing biography about Bill Graham going from a child escaping the nazi concentration camps in world war II to starting the Fillmore Ballrooms as well as Winterland. It Chronicles the incredible Haight Ashbury scene and pretty much the scene in the whole Bay area. Anyway I've gone on too long for something that is probably not going to be read.
In 1979 I was mostly unfamiliar with the music of The Doors aside from their huge pop hits “Light My Fire” and “Love Her Madly” (mostly written by Robbie Krieger), which were so ostensible on the radio that you couldn’t avoid them even if you didn’t know or care which band was performing the song. What turned me into a Doors fanatic was the opening of APOCALYPSE NOW, the most spectacular beginning featuring a song titled “The End” in cinema history. Interestingly, like AN “The End” met with a mixed critical reaction upon its initial release, with some calling it a masterpiece while others like Lester Bangs regarding it as pretentious, self-indulgent twaddle. Fortunately, from my perspective, time has been kind to the reputation of both.
Yes. I hear you. And I discovered myself thru the music of Michael Nyman. Esp. his score of THE COOK THE THIEF HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER. Oh yes. I like that do do do do dooooo do do do do doooooo do do do doooooo do do
Recently, J Cole's verse on the final Track of Logic's new album is so beautiful and touching that it almost always makes me cry even when i think about the lyrics too myself. Its like a culmination of all the messages he's been pushing towards his entire career. It's beautiful. In the past, Many songs by ALEXZ JOHNSON have made me cry depending on circumstances. The one that makes me cry the most often of hers is Where does it Hurt. The music, with the vocals/background vocals, and the lyrics are just beautiful and optimistic. Like an invitation, asking to take on another's pain and sooth them with their consultation. It's one of my favorite songs ever. Also, Haim's new album SOMETHING TO TELL YOU is great. It doesn't make me cry, but its some AMAZING pop/rock/rnb music.
"Crying" to music is just an expression of an intense emotional response, is not in any way related to grief necessarily. Many people misunderstand that.
I adore countless film scores! I could go on for days. Two pieces, in particular, have helped me through many tough times: 'Together We Will Live Forever' by Clint Mansell (from The Fountain) and 'The Beach' by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis (from The Road). Both films the songs originate from had a profound affect on me. Any heavy emotional weight I feel can be lessened just by listening these pieces, as well as many others.
Pleasantly surprised to hear your passion and experience with classical! I wonder what you'd think of Gyorgy Ligeti and Giacinto Scelsi, or even Olivier Messiaen. Awesome to see Berlioz there! Considering you like Stravinsky's primal aggressiveness, you may like some of Iannis Xenakis and Edgard Varese's work. I relate to the transcendent kind of qualities you speak of, very cool!
Woah, that's awesome to hear!! Actually Ligeti's opera "le Grade Macabre" is a great but absurd journey in the metaphysical and existential. If it was adapted to film, it'd be like a cross between Lynch, Jodorowsky and John Waters, lol.
May I have found my soulmate...? I agree when you say there are so much talented artists that have not received the recognition they deserve, I' m gonna give you a present, its called Yoshiko Sai, a 70's Japanese, singer my favourite songs are called Yoru no Sei and Tsubaki wa Ochitakaya. That whole album its a masterpiece but its not the only one. Thank me later.
Okay, now I REALLY want you to do that music channel. Jazz is such a vast realm; it really does require an openness to all the eras and styles to be fully appreciated, from Armstrong to Parker to "Bitches Brew" and beyond.
Love your choices. "Rite of Spring" is a true monster masterpiece - definitely erotic, it emulates nature, so how could it not be. Do you enjoy Wagner? You hear a lot of him in soundtrack music: Terrence Malik in "The New World" used "Vorspiel", BEAUTIFUL, and Bernard Hermann's main theme in "Vertigo" is a variation on "Liebestod" (love and death), a lot of composers use him as a jumping off point. You seem to be a fan of dark romanticism, in all eras - the Doors definitely rule that domain in rock (Morrison was the Lord Byron of the 60's). A soundtrack that I enjoy (there are many), is Dario Marianelli's "Jane Eyre", the one with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, haunting and romantic - love that score and love the film. Have you ever thought about playing or singing in one of your videos?
Yes, I enjoy Wagner. I did a video where I talked about my favorite film scores a while ago. I talked about Vertigo quite a bit in it. I actually prefer the Herrmann score for the original Jane Eyre far more than the new one. I know there are a few audio clips of me singing somewhere on twitter. I sang on instagram recently...but it was meant to be a joke, so definitely don't take it seriously.
Yeah, Herrmann is one of the greatest, his "Vertigo" score is essential to that movie's impact. I enjoyed his "Jane Eyre" score, but for me it was much more that classic, 40's era, Hollywood lush soundtrack approach, which fit the nature of the film (melodramatic). I personally prefer the more Gothic, paired-down, haunting quality of the recent Carey Fukunaga film, both the movie and acting (naturalistic), along with the score - I felt it uniquely captured the spirit and atmosphere of Charlotte Bronte and the novel - the melancholy starkness of the moors, etc. I have quite a collection of soundtracks myself - some really great stuff, drawing from every genre of music. Love your clips.
Look these up here on TH-cam. Kabeedies - Eyes Bonobo - Silver Ratata - Pipes Warpaint - Composure (rough trade sessions) Thievery Corporation - All that we perceive Phaeleh - Twighlight Lucius - Turn it around 2 door cinema club - What you know Tuneyards - ABC 123 Steam powered giraffe - Diamonds The last one is a cover of Rihanna's song, please don't dismiss it as it's a really good cover. Personally I think that it's better.
Have you given any thought into producing video content on film scores? I would be interested to learn about how essential it is to interweave music into a film, examples of what works what and what doesn't. Sounds like a cool topic to touch upon!
Dude. I recommend music from the eastern part of the world. Don't know how you feel about that stuff, but "Inner Universe" by Russian singer Origa, is the song played on the anime Ghost in the Shell, and it is incredibly haunting from beginning to end. Check it out! And currently in my top 10 songs. Just like in books like War and Peace and Brothers Karamazov, the Russians continue to make the greatest entertainment and art in any media anywhere.
two years too late here, but what are your opinions on elliott smith?? his lyrics (specifically his style of narrative) has absolutely influenced how i view film. also in terms of ‘music to cry to’ i mean holy shit man, he has a way to crash emotions via sound into moments of platitude that leave you just ripped into pieces.
Could you put links to these pieces in the description please? :) Aww yes Radiohead, I'm new to your channel, i literally clicked on this video because i was sure you would say Radiohead.
"..oh-ooh-ohhhh-ho.........gi-he-ve me your love (give me your love) I just can't stay away naw, naw you know(?) mmMand it's all right and it's coming along we've gotta get right back to where we started from love is good(?, love can be...(?) do you believe pop can embody respectability?
You have a intellectual taste in music. Hector berlioz WOW ! interesting.. I like beethoven allegretto symphony 7 very commercial in the classical music world lol
There is a lot of protest music today , particularly in Hip Hop. Walking in the Snow by Run The Jewels, Alright by Kendrick Lamar, Pig Feet by Denzel Curry and Terrace Martin come to mind. Also from the rock/blues genre I can think of Gary Clark Jr.'s This Land.
oh i loved this video! i´m an aspiring cinephile but i too love music more than film, normally films with great music are my favorites and i love feeling a film more than understanding it, i´m a big fan of Frank Zappa his music connects with me a lot a song that i allways put when i´m in hard times or important times is "Watermelon In Easter Hay" particullary this performance th-cam.com/video/bWBYjjzKvIw/w-d-xo.html it has a sence of endureness trought hard times but still being yourself ,all his guitar solos are great, i love what you said about Radiohead i have to lisen to it again as i didn´t saw the happines there maybe i will!
Been drowning in a music kick the past few days and mostly in a mood to watch music videos here on youtube. So, perfect timing with this upload. Great content from you as usual. Also, other than Beethoven and Erik Satie I haven't explored much classical music. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Satie is so unique - a man outside time. De Leeuw has many fine interpretations of his music, love his version of the six Nocturnes. Have you heard France Clidat's interpretations of Satie? This is a wonderful album. th-cam.com/video/oaAZwFFjqpA/w-d-xo.html
Related to Stravinsky, you might like King Crimson's "Larks Tongues in Aspic Part 2". th-cam.com/video/mbwWK6rJT6s/w-d-xo.html Very influenced by Stravinsky and definitely a dark place! Love Radiohead too! Enjoyed the commentary!
"How Music Has Influenced Me" *Person watching was born deaf* How would you make a video having an honest discussion on the conscious experience of the deaf? Secondly, how could you mention Radiohead and not their song Reckoner? Teary-eyed.
I'm gonna be honest, here; I've no idea how your YT video's popped up in my recommendation section, but I just watched 'Message From The Heart' and you earned yourself a new fan and subscriber. That was one of the most heartbreaking video's I've ever seen. - I can relate to the content. - Keep up the good work, : ).

I think it's remarkable how it really isn't necessary to understand music on a theoretical level in order to appreciate it. Even when it comes to very complex compositions our brains seem to just "get it"... Well in some cases we might need to be familiarized with the harmonic language, e.g. microtonal or atonal music might take some time for our brain to get used to, but that's not a conscious process and just by exposing ourselves to it, eventually it will start making sense.
For me, no other art form can provide such a visceral, even transcendent experience. It also hardly seems to get old. Like, I've seen my favourite films maybe 5-10 times but there are records I've played well over 100 times and I still get new enjoyment out of it every time. Late period Talk Talk, early Kayo Dot, Charles Mingus' more composed/orchestral works, Deerhoof, Duke/Napoleon era Zappa, King Crimson... that stuff just never gets old to me.
and for some reason when I'm drunk all I want to do is listen to Joanna Newsom. Not sure why I get so emotional over songs about birds and countesses, but it is what it is :D
Dude Joanna Newsom is amazing. Very unique sound.
'Everything in its right place' is my favourite Radiohead song.
Your love for Jonny Greenwood, specifically the Phantom Thread soundtrack, led me to fall in love with him. So i genuinely thank you for that. I listen to that album all the time and consider it one of the most beautiful collections of music of the 21st century. You forever have a fan because of that
Same I've always found an escape with music as it takes me to another place that is unexplainable but extraordinary same with films.
Love this so much, boo. Music has shaped my life in a similar fashion. I was never a happy person. I had dark secrets that I had to hide from everybody I love, I was alone and music was the only part of me that I cherished. It helped me through my abuse.

Final Fantasy music, particularly Nobuo Uematsu's work, never fails to move me. Made me learn to appreciate video game music and is a textbook example of how and when to use music in storytelling, video games or otherwise.
I feel the same. FF music was practically all I listened to at a certain point when I was growing up.
I discovered and fell in love with Kate Bush's discography during Quarantine. I think "Moments Of Pleasure" will always make me weep.
Really enjoyed this. Would love to see more music related videos. One song that always gets me is After The Flood by Talk Talk. It's like the calm and force of nature put into music, or something. Also Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have an energy I totally get swept up by.
YES, "After the Flood" - that and "New Grass" and "Ascension Day" transport me every time. Truly spiritual music from Talk Talk.
I love Nick Cave. His last album, Skeleton Tree was one of my favorites from last year.
Music and cinema has a lot in common. A lot!
Thank you again for another great video, you keep surprising me, not only do you talk about my favourite movies, but you also talk about my favourite music, especially they way you top everything with The End by the Doors, one of my all time favourites. Very impressive.

@@gloverelaxis wait what?
@@Jamzamurai just saw gloveraxis' comment because the notification for yours popped up.
I'm puzzled.
Lift is my favourite Radiohead track
Wow truly respect and enjoy everting U do, thank U queen!
Anden thanks for the Chelsea Wolfe OMJ freaking amazing and wonderful had never heard of her til today.
Im not a hardcore Radiohead fan myself but codex is an emotional song for me
Yeah, that one got me through hard times as well.

Frank Ocean's Blonde has been playing in my house at least once a month since it came out. Self Control gets me every time. GREAT VID GIRL!!
Thanks. Yeah Frank Ocean is fantastic.
ampslr veniece me too , it’s agonising and yet it makes me feel so at one with my past.

You do have a great singing voice for sure.
Radiohead is great. I have never cried listening to a song but "Let Down" by Radiohead triggered something in me no other band has ever done. Great video keep it up!
Yep. That instrumental bit is maybe the most beautiful thing that’s been put on a rock album

In the past, Many songs by ALEXZ JOHNSON have made me cry depending on circumstances. The one that makes me cry the most often of hers is Where does it Hurt. The music, with the vocals/background vocals, and the lyrics are just beautiful and optimistic. Like an invitation, asking to take on another's pain and sooth them with their consultation. It's one of my favorite songs ever.
Also, Haim's new album SOMETHING TO TELL YOU is great. It doesn't make me cry, but its some AMAZING pop/rock/rnb music.
Great post, my Radiohead tearjerker would be true love waits. But also the last track that made me cry was Lazarus by David Bowie for obvious reasons.
Yeah, also a good one. Lazarus gets me too every time.
I recommend two of the most abstract Extreme Complex Dark music -Deathspell omega-Fas ite maledicti..Ulcerate -the Destroyers of all!!
"Crying" to music is just an expression of an intense emotional response, is not in any way related to grief necessarily. Many people misunderstand that.
I adore countless film scores! I could go on for days. Two pieces, in particular, have helped me through many tough times: 'Together We Will Live Forever' by Clint Mansell (from The Fountain) and 'The Beach' by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis (from The Road). Both films the songs originate from had a profound affect on me. Any heavy emotional weight I feel can be lessened just by listening these pieces, as well as many others.
I love 60s music most, especially the British groups n bands, i grew up on Elvis mostly
chris cornell the promise always cry when i hear that song
Pleasantly surprised to hear your passion and experience with classical! I wonder what you'd think of Gyorgy Ligeti and Giacinto Scelsi, or even Olivier Messiaen. Awesome to see Berlioz there!

I think you would really like the band Opeth, especially the Damnation album.

That whole album its a masterpiece but its not the only one.

I have played guitar for over twenty years and can relate. Most of my vids are me singing and playing, but I will make some strictly on guitar.

/// Bergo '45 - Song of the Week #22 :: Devon's Pick for 12/1/13
"My favorite thing about this song is how it seems half as long as it really is. It gets me every time." - Devon Beuschel
"The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys" by Traffic
The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys (1971)
Steve Winwood - Jim Capaldi
Island Records
Traffic were an English rock band whose members came from the West Midlands. The group formed in April 1967 by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason. They began as a psychedelic rock group whose early singles were influenced by The Beatles and diversified their sound through the use of instruments such as keyboards like the Mellotron, reed instruments, and by incorporating jazz and improvisational techniques in their music. Their first three singles were "Paper Sun", "Hole in My Shoe", and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".
After disbanding in 1969, during which time Winwood joined Blind Faith, Traffic reunited in 1970 to release the critically acclaimed album John Barleycorn Must Die. The band's line-up varied from this point until they disbanded again in 1975, although a partial reunion, with Winwood and Capaldi, took place in 1994.
In 2004, Traffic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Perfect Life by Steven Wilson. The song that came closest to meaking me tear up.
I forgot to ask. Do you enjoy jazz? If so, do you have any favorite artists or recordings. I'd also love to see you do a music channel.
I do. Love jazz of all eras. Big band, bebop, swing, etc.. Love Miles Davis, Kamasi Washington, Herbie Hancock, Benny Goodman. Stuff like that.
Okay, now I REALLY want you to do that music channel. Jazz is such a vast realm; it really does require an openness to all the eras and styles to be fully appreciated, from Armstrong to Parker to "Bitches Brew" and beyond.
@@92ninersboy please do a channel on jazz lol
Why don't you start reviewing music and albums? What's stopping you?
Because I have a movie channel already.
Do you like Tori Amos? I love the album Little Earthquakes, especially the songs Silent All These Years, Winter, and China
Love your choices. "Rite of Spring" is a true monster masterpiece - definitely erotic, it emulates nature, so how could it not be. Do you enjoy Wagner? You hear a lot of him in soundtrack music: Terrence Malik in "The New World" used "Vorspiel", BEAUTIFUL, and Bernard Hermann's main theme in "Vertigo" is a variation on "Liebestod" (love and death), a lot of composers use him as a jumping off point. You seem to be a fan of dark romanticism, in all eras - the Doors definitely rule that domain in rock (Morrison was the Lord Byron of the 60's). A soundtrack that I enjoy (there are many), is Dario Marianelli's "Jane Eyre", the one with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, haunting and romantic - love that score and love the film. Have you ever thought about playing or singing in one of your videos?
Yes, I enjoy Wagner. I did a video where I talked about my favorite film scores a while ago. I talked about Vertigo quite a bit in it. I actually prefer the Herrmann score for the original Jane Eyre far more than the new one. I know there are a few audio clips of me singing somewhere on twitter. I sang on instagram recently...but it was meant to be a joke, so definitely don't take it seriously.
Yeah, Herrmann is one of the greatest, his "Vertigo" score is essential to that movie's impact. I enjoyed his "Jane Eyre" score, but for me it was much more that classic, 40's era, Hollywood lush soundtrack approach, which fit the nature of the film (melodramatic). I personally prefer the more Gothic, paired-down, haunting quality of the recent Carey Fukunaga film, both the movie and acting (naturalistic), along with the score - I felt it uniquely captured the spirit and atmosphere of Charlotte Bronte and the novel - the melancholy starkness of the moors, etc. I have quite a collection of soundtracks myself - some really great stuff, drawing from every genre of music. Love your clips.
If you think rite of spring is boring, you are beyond help!!! Hahha

The last one is a cover of Rihanna's song, please don't dismiss it as it's a really good cover. Personally I think that it's better.
Do you like Tool?
That stuff is right up your alley.
"Nude" is an entire sonic landscape. Classical is great. Clair De Lune makes me cry. Oh and Light My Fire > The End. Good tastes..
How to Disappear Completely captures the feeling so perfectly of what it's like to inhabit my specific skin.
Have you given any thought into producing video content on film scores? I would be interested to learn about how essential it is to interweave music into a film, examples of what works what and what doesn't. Sounds like a cool topic to touch upon!
I did a video a while back on my favorite film scores, and I've certainly given that some thought as well.
Dude. I recommend music from the eastern part of the world. Don't know how you feel about that stuff, but "Inner Universe" by Russian singer Origa, is the song played on the anime Ghost in the Shell, and it is incredibly haunting from beginning to end. Check it out! And currently in my top 10 songs. Just like in books like War and Peace and Brothers Karamazov, the Russians continue to make the greatest entertainment and art in any media anywhere.
Haha dude, I just happened to listen to that a few days ago for the first time in years. haha
^ She gets it. =)
You are such a child of the (classical) past. Wow.
You should do a video on classical music and which composers and pieces you like
How about Kronos Quartet (Death is the Road to Awe) on the movie The Fountain?
WHATTTTT YOU WERE PLAYING VIOLAAAAA!!!!!!!
I always wondered, what's your opinion on Pink Floyd?
Shout out for the answer!
two years too late here, but what are your opinions on elliott smith??
his lyrics (specifically his style of narrative) has absolutely influenced how i view film.
also in terms of ‘music to cry to’ i mean holy shit man, he has a way to crash emotions via sound into moments of platitude that leave you just ripped into pieces.
Could you put links to these pieces in the description please? :) Aww yes Radiohead, I'm new to your channel, i literally clicked on this video because i was sure you would say Radiohead.
"..oh-ooh-ohhhh-ho.........gi-he-ve me your love (give me your love) I just can't stay away naw, naw you know(?) mmMand it's all right and it's coming along we've gotta get right back to where we started from love is good(?, love can be...(?)
do you believe pop can embody respectability?
You ever heard of Scott Walker? (the artist, not the politician)
You have a intellectual taste in music. Hector berlioz WOW ! interesting.. I like beethoven allegretto symphony 7 very commercial in the classical music world lol
....involving psychedelics...
Intellectual?
Could you do a review of the Room? Pretty please, with a cherry on top?
Try Pet Sounds, a favorite of the Beatles and Leonard Bernstein.
It's a shame there's no protest music today. Certainly not mainstream.
There is a lot of protest music today , particularly in Hip Hop. Walking in the Snow by Run The Jewels, Alright by Kendrick Lamar, Pig Feet by Denzel Curry and Terrace Martin come to mind. Also from the rock/blues genre I can think of Gary Clark Jr.'s This Land.
Still play viola?
Can you review goddards breathless 1960
At some point, yes.
deepfocuslens :D !!!
I'm certain you'd like The Brian Jonestown Massacre
"Anemone"!
Please listen to Travelogue by Duster! !
Check out Louis Andriessen.
dead can dance..looking for you
A bow and arrow? Ay?
oh i loved this video! i´m an aspiring cinephile but i too love music more than film, normally films with great music are my favorites and i love feeling a film more than understanding it, i´m a big fan of Frank Zappa his music connects with me a lot a song that i allways put when i´m in hard times or important times is "Watermelon In Easter Hay" particullary this performance th-cam.com/video/bWBYjjzKvIw/w-d-xo.html it has a sence of endureness trought hard times but still being yourself ,all his guitar solos are great, i love what you said about Radiohead i have to lisen to it again as i didn´t saw the happines there maybe i will!
Been drowning in a music kick the past few days and mostly in a mood to watch music videos here on youtube.
So, perfect timing with this upload. Great content from you as usual.
Also, other than Beethoven and Erik Satie I haven't explored much classical music. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
+mirror saw his interpretation of the Gnossiennes is beautiful.
Will give that a listen later on tonight. Thanks!
Satie is so unique - a man outside time. De Leeuw has many fine interpretations of his music, love his version of the six Nocturnes. Have you heard France Clidat's interpretations of Satie? This is a wonderful album. th-cam.com/video/oaAZwFFjqpA/w-d-xo.html
Related to Stravinsky, you might like King Crimson's "Larks Tongues in Aspic Part 2". th-cam.com/video/mbwWK6rJT6s/w-d-xo.html Very influenced by Stravinsky and definitely a dark place! Love Radiohead too! Enjoyed the commentary!
Speaking of film soundtracks, do you know the giallo work by Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, Nora Orlandi etc? Beautiful stuff.
Since you said you liked experimental music, have you heard of The Residents?
When you want to set fire to the rhythm section - go here: Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing

"How Music Has Influenced Me"
*Person watching was born deaf*
How would you make a video having an honest discussion on the conscious experience of the deaf?
Secondly, how could you mention Radiohead and not their song Reckoner? Teary-eyed.
XD You're right though. Reckoner is one of my all-time favs.
Maggie gets hotter and hotter each video she makes @_@
You have synesthesia dont you??.....me too : )
Did I just watch an excellent advert for ( using ) psychedelics?
I never advertise. Make your own decisions. Just be very careful. I usually add that as a disclaimer. Guess I forgot.
I've already had my share, so I'm not really in need of a warning, ; ).
- And I agree; Thom Yorke does have a wonderful voice.
I'm gonna be honest, here; I've no idea how your YT video's popped up in my recommendation section, but I just watched 'Message From The Heart' and you earned yourself a new fan and subscriber. That was one of the most heartbreaking video's I've ever seen. - I can relate to the content. - Keep up the good work, : ).
