Day 2 - Your Least Favorite Song

my least favorite song, ever?

well, there's loads of songs I hate that I haven't listened to.

I'm looking at you, sick popular music. 

But as for music I've heard. 

This one. Hands. Down.

Amazing Grace should NEVER sound like this. I'm sorry.

Day 1 - Your Favorite Song

this is a dangerous question

I tend to hear this as "what is your favorite song right now"

this is it:





I am a newly converted but die-hard Passenger fan. Expect to find loads of his songs here in the coming month ;)

that song you keep hearing about and you refuse to give in to popular opinion

and then of course, you have to accidentally stumble upon the chorus on the radio, and you end up joining the multitudes that love it. 

tricksy radio.

something to hit you right in the emotions

it's so stirring

and powerful


the conflicting and mingling agendas and yet they form a common melody


and yeah I technically posted this song before but I just really love Les Mis right now okay

i wanna see you be brave

I just

I don't listen to mainstream artists, really

I can't even spell the chick's name

But this song is gorgeous

christmas in september

I'm not even a Christmas-Music-All-Year-Round kind of person.

But this song, this version, just makes me so stinkin happy.

Don't it make you feel like dancing and hugging someone?

when the words become true

Have you ever discovered a song that wrenches your heart in a new way?

I learned this song over the weekend, and it is a beautiful song of worship.

what to do with the time that is given to us

Whether or not you've seen the films or read the books, this song is utterly moving. Just like the track Hope and Memory, which I heard and learned to love ages before ever watching the movies. 

What's your favorite LOTR soundtrack?

renegade

The rest of the song would be nothing without the intro.

Complete ear happiness.

with our backs to the wall

An epic song that has nothing to do with love or relationships. It's a treasure these days.

i used to be my own protection

it's sad because of the instruments

it's sad because there's ash and winter and dissatisfied clouds and heartless wind

and it's even sadder when you realize it's about a funeral



and then you find out that the singer's dad died on a valentine's day

tie my handlebars to the stars so i stay on track

the absurd poetry of adam young's lyrics is glorious, and this song is particularly catchy

500 Miles

If you can listen to this song without marching, then you should fix that.

Plus if you know about it 'cause of Doctor Who, you really should be smiling hugely and marching in place as enthusiastically as Billie Piper.

album: quantum

did this make anyone else think of national treasure in the first 20-odd seconds?

besides that though, epica/trailer type music is awesome. who are  your favorites artists in the genre?

your guardian angel

the red jumpsuit apparatus is one of my top three favorite bands, ever.

this is probably their mellowest song, but it's gorgeous and oh so sad

epic anime music

It doesn't matter if you watch anime or not, this is an EPIC song.

plus the japanese(it might be german in this song I can't tell) language is just awesome anyway



does anyone else enjoy learning songs in languages you don't speak just to feel cool?

preacher

this song is literally almost perfect

when I sing it, I change "who learned to help themselves" to "who cannot help themselves"

I just like making things theologically correct

give us us free

just watched this film for the first time tonight. 

among other things, I have huge respect for John Williams and his ability to sum up the redemptive and hopeful spirit of the film in musical notes. 

it's quite unforgettable.
