Music as a Whole

Hey, thought I should start a different blog for other random things that came to my mind and had nothing to do with the RPG Maker.... mostly.

 

You ever come across a song that once it hit your hears you suddenly halted everything you were doing, be it programming, editing, watching your dogs play (LOL), and just listen to it? Couple that with an amazing AMV (Animated Music Video for those that aren't aware of the abbreviation) and you are suddenly sucked into something you had not expected to find.

 

I had that with this AMV created by the AngelicSerenadeMEPs group on YouTube titled This Song Saved my Life:

 

I sat and watched that video for over an hour straight (finally went and bought the song on iTunes)... I remember during what I would have considered "difficult times" while growing up and throwing headphones on and pounding music into my ears to keep me either sane or make me smile once again without it being forced. Break-ups were especially when music was so close to me, there was always a song I could find to turn on that would make me smile right after the break-up, like, for example, KELIS "Caught Out There" for some specific break-ups, lol!

 

I don't know what everyone's past is, and I never pretend to understand it or try to. But everyone out there has at least ONE song that, at their worst point, they turned on and it just... it just saved them. It helped them, I would like to think. Because that's what music does - it heals, it smiles at us when we just can't and it wraps us up in its beats and rhythm and tells us "It's OK, you will be just fine soon".

 

Those are my thoughts anyways... NOW GO LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC THAT MAKES YOU SMILE!!! Lol!

P.S. Hey guys, I just thought of it... Why not post a song down in the comments below that you listen to for specific situations, be them happy moments, sad moments, it doesn't matter and you really don't have to explain - most of the time, the songs explain it for themselves. Otherwise, ciao!

You know, I think I can safely say I hate most popular music, or at least the stuff they play on the radio. I get into game music quite a lot though, Maybe I just hate singing? Or maybe the traditional limited nature of older game music forced it to focus on hum-able melodies and catchy tunes? Or maybe because video game soundtracks tend to have a mix of a lot of different genres and styles so I don't get board as easily? Or maybe even because they have associated themselves with things I enjoy? I donno.
 
Video game music really gets to me sometimes. For example. I don't know if you have ever had any experience with Minecraft or not, probably since it is wildly popular, and you might have even gotten sick of it by now. But... I kinda remember the first time I head this, which I think is sometimes played right as the sun starts poking over the horizon. And... that just kinda moves me. It's a quiet, short, understated tune that takes a while to build (the first 30 seconds can barely be heard at all), and since most of the time Minecraft has no music at all it sort of sneaks up on you. I kinda like Minecraft's soundtrack that way.
 
Of course if you want something that gets more to the point try this. :P

@KilloZapit I agree with you on the game music thing; since I was nine years old I have had a very strange affection towards the music in Final Fantasy iX, the instrumental versions to Garnets song (plus her song she sings).

 

As for Minecraft, I call it "Minecrack" as I am frighteningly addicted to that game, have been since 2011 when the game got a few good updates and was good to go. I play it on every system I can get it on (PS3 which is broke now, PS4 with Twitch even, iPad, iPhone and PC) and even follow a lot of people on YouTube (i.e. Skydoesminecraft, ThatGuyBarney, Pewdipie just as examples). There is nothing wrong with that game and I hope to see it continue to build, I hear they're planning on adding real roads in the next large patch - WOOT!

 

I have heard that Pokemon song before in other videos, as like a lead-in to the video, and had no clue that was where it had came from... I love that song! Oddly enough listening to that song reminded me of the old Gradius game - loved that music. (https://youtu.be/hz9OkKo9rW0)

Hehe... I mostly play minecraft with mods myself... just started a new world a little while ago as a matter of fact. Pokemon Colosseum is probably one of my favorite Pokemon games actually, just because the setting and story is so unique and the music is so good. Also, if you want to talk sideview shoot 'em ups with wonderful musical moments, I think It would be worth checking out this.
