Every once in a while, I come across a piece of music that is almost too intense. So magnificient and full of beauty that I feel like I'm going to burst. This tends to happen more often with classical/neoclassical/ethereal/soundtrack music

Requiem for a Dream is an OUTSTANDING film. But I'm not sure I'd ever want to see it again. Don't watch it when you're feeling glum, put it that way. The soundtrack is awesome, though.

I'd sort of figured that it's the sort that's brilliant *and* emo, so I've been iffy about watching it. Even though it'd probably be an interesting experience, and it'd probably be awesome.

I'm thinking more "harrowing" than "emo".

I... can see what you mean.

It's rather powerful, yes. I know it might turn some people off since both versions seem to have electronic instruments in there, and/or because it's so shamelessly emotional, but I love it. It's a modern sort of Romanticism, and hits the same buttons in me.

It still takes me a wee mental leap to connect Clint with being the bloke what was lead singer or Pop Will Eat Itself. :)

*wanders off chanting the lyrics to Can U Dig It?*

I know. I raised my eyebrows when I spotted that on Wikipedia:).

Yes! I get affected the same way, and most of all by orchestral music. The Alan Parson's Project's In the Lap of the Gods totally moves me with its wistfulness, longing, hope, and joyous triumph.

Ooh, thanks for the link. I'm saving that for later.

I'd love to know what you think. I don't mind if you don't like it though; music is so subjective.

[snowgrouse]

I'm not in the best mood to appreciate music of any sort right now (just woke up), but I'll check it out properly later.

I just listened to it like, four times. It's so awesome, I want to learn how to make fanvids JUST BECAUSE OF THIS PIECE. It's total Epicness and Win.

[snowgrouse]

IS.
