Song Saturday - 2012 part II

 What may be curious for some to know is that today is "Old New Year's Day" in some Slovakian cultures. This distinction is due to the differences in the Julian calendar which Slavic Orthodox cultures follow. In my experience, Old New Year isn't celebrated too festively, but it is usually acknowledged, at least with some drinks, and perhaps even some fortune telling for young girls.

Anyhow, this day brought me a desire to share some more epic music=)

2012: Epic and Inspiring II

1. Hans Zimmer - "Pearl Harbor Main Theme"

2. Thomas Bergersen - "Remember Me"

3. Two Steps From Hell - "Hypnotica"

4. Two Steps From Hell - "Equus"

Song Saturday - The Killers

I think I'll start off this new year by sharing a 'top picks' selection of one of my favourite bands - The Killers. It was their music, which I heard in my early teens that truly got me into intense indulgences of "music scouting" and listening to albums in general.

Here's my top 10 list: (In no particular order)

1. "Mr. Brightside"
2. "Somebody Told Me"
3." Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll"
4. "When You Were Young"
5. "Bling"
6. "A Dustland Fairytale"
7. "Romeo and Juliet"
8. "Tranquilize"

Monday Morning by =o0oLUXo0o on deviantART

Good morning!

I love music. It's a huge part of my life. It gives me inspiration, keeps me company, elevates my mood, and more! I feel like I owe it to the music I listen to, to showcase it.
In turn, every Saturday (starting now!) I'll be doing a spotlight on 7 tracks from my collection. Hope you check it out and enjoy the songs. If you like them, tell your friends! Spread the great sound!

So, here we go!

Week 1
Theme: "Reconciling the tenses"
I've called the theme as I did because the following songs encourage the recall of various memories from my past and also make me fantasize about the future. For me, they come across as peaceful and soothing songs and also as songs that get me excited and eager to experience what's to come.

1. Greg Laswell - "I'd Be Lying"
2. Trent Dabbs - "Take It All In"
3. Matthew Perryman Jones - "Swallow The Sea"
4. Cary Brothers - "Free Like You Make Me"
