30 Day Music Meme - Day 20
Day 20. A song/artist that touched you deeply
I'm one of those people that listens to music to create or try to inspire myself to do something with my own talents. One of the things that I do is I sort of...picture everything in my mind as if you would see it in a movie or television (kind of a way of storyboarding, I suppose). I do it for a lot of my writing, especially action or fight scenes. It's one of those things that I think has always lent me an added bonus to writing believable action at least.
And since I can't just pick one, once again - I'll go with a couple.
Kotoko's We Survive just seems to resonate with something deeper - I always seem to smile a lot when this plays. I think it's a terms of pacing in the beat and the way that it just flows in my mind when trying to think of things that would work well with the piece.
To me, that's how music touches me - if I can create to it.
This one is one of my absolute favorites. Enigma is one of those bands I've had growing up and it was always hard as fucking hell to find their stuff - Mom usually had to order their work for me and I like, cleaned the house or something to pay her back for the CDs.
I listened to the MCMXC a.D. album of theirs forever. It's so good. ;w; ♥
Another guilty pleasure is Mike Oldfield for me... but his stuff is really hard to find too. He's most well known for Tubluar Bells which most people will recognize if you've ever seen the old horror movie The Exorcist.
I only have a few of his albums, but my favorite one is Songs of Distant Earth (this link is 55min long / whole album there), which is a bloody masterpiece... I listened to it forever and drove my mother crazy with it. It's one of those albums that just kind of tells a story on its own...
Ascension is one of the later tracks, but I always enjoy it. ♥
