I don't really know anything about music.
I have no idea what's popular now-a-days and most of the time I don't like it when I hear it.
So with that in mind, here's what I'm currently listening to on repeat.
Feel free to judge my choices.
I know how ridiculous my music tastes are.
1. The Brilliance. Just discovered them this year. I love their mix of classical style music with beautiful words about Jesus. Your Love Remains is my favorite favorite.
2. Black Sails Soundtrack by Bear McCreary. This is the last album I bought. I've never seen the show, but it's my favorite composer doing some of his best work since Battlestar except for the outstanding The Walking Dead soundtrack, but that has never been released.
3. Saving Mr. Banks Soundtrack by Thomas Newman. I loved the movie and I know that is partially because of this beautifully moving soundtrack. This composer did another favorite soundtrack of mine. Saving Mr. Banks' tone is very similar. Happy, cheery with a hint of emotion. It's practically perfect in every way.
4. Hunger Games: Catching Fire Soundtrack by James Newton Howard. This composer has created some incredibly beautiful pieces of music over the years. The Village has one of my top favorite pieces of all time. But this new soundtrack...oh, my. It captures the tone of the story perfectly. Haunting. Troubling. Intimate. Hopeful. I Need You is a perfect example. Those violins get me every time.
5. Second Chances by Gregory Alan Isakov. This track was introduced to me through my Veronica Mars Kickstarter backer inside info. It was used in the movie during one of the best scenes in the movie. I heard it for the first time months ago and loved it, but now, it always reminds me of a sweet LoVe moment. Suitcase Full of Sparks is another great one on The Weatherman album too.
6. Birdy. Her voice. Good gracious. Found her via a TV show. I find lots of good music from the shows I watch. I especially like Wings and Without a Word. Her covers of Terrible Love and Skinny Love are fantastic too.
Review:
I'm a soundtrack nerd.
I love composers who use lots of strings (violin especially).
My Spotify playlist for fellow soundtrack nerds.
And one for all those songs I hear on TV that are just so good.
