6/22/2012 3:29:02 PM Posted: 5 years ago Post your favorite piece of music. You have to pick the ONE best song/piece you know. It'll be interesting listening to different types of music.

6/26/2012 11:52:03 PM Posted: 5 years ago I'm convinced that no-one actually clicks on the videos, considering the lack of outcry for the one I posted.
Now I'm going to have to post my actual favorite. Wetblankets, all of you. No fun at all. (In Google Translate or Babblefish, this post comes out as "Waaah waaah." Don't ask me why.) Cavete mea inexorabilis legiones mimus! |

One's a beautiful cover of an old love song and one is about... staying alive. : : :Tulle: The fool, I purposely don't engage with you because you don't have proper command of the English language. : : : : The Fool: It's my English writing.

6/27/2012 2:58:20 AM Posted: 5 years ago I do not now, nor have i ever, had one consistent favorite song. So I randomly chose this one out of my mental list (more like a jumbled-up basket of receipts than a list, but anyway...):
Don't take me too seriously plz, i'm rarely on here sober |

6/27/2012 11:21:44 PM Posted: 5 years ago This is extremely difficult. I have so many favorites...
Alright. Although not my overall favorite (because I cannot choose just one), I'll go ahead and say "The Unforgiven" by Metallica. WARNING: Hitchslaps may become inflamed when accompanied by unceasing stupidity. |

6/28/2012 11:55:20 PM Posted: 5 years ago Every lover of music should listen to this 10 minute piece by Tchaikovsky (first vid), start to finish, at least once in their life - best violin I have ever heard, and I listen to classical music regularly.
As for the 2nd vid... The music is so beautiful, listening to it changed my life. I literally cried after hearing it for the first time. It is sublime. I dare anyone with two ears and an appreciation of music to listen to either of these two pieces and not be incredibly moved. |

6/29/2012 12:31:29 AM Posted: 5 years ago I guess I'll be the first to post a somewhat upbeat song.
Its pretty long, but the first 4 minutes are the main song. Love the choir coming in before and after the chorus. The last 7 minutes are a series of short monologues. I'm not sure if they're just random thoughts or if they have some kind of deep meaning. |

It seems sort of crass to just put something like that up in a forum. Part of what is so beautiful about my favorite pieces of music is that I tend to listen to them during important and emotional instances in my life. They're around at specific times not just shoved around websites and what not. Anyway, something I like a lot and have been listening to lately: |
