Earthbound
DDLC (Doki doki literature club) funnily enough. Your reality is such a banger and makes me really happy. For me it is a very powerful song with a good ending.
Also Megalovania from Undertale puts me in a better mood instantly.
- Sword and Sworcery
- Starbound
- Outer Wilds
- Mirror’s Edge
Soulwax FM from GTA is great when I need a boost for house chores.
Can’t believe nobody’s mentioned Good Riddance from from Hades yet. The sudden peace and calm in the middle of a run is amazing
SoundTEMP’s Ragnarok Online soundtrack
Chrono Cross
Ori and the Blind Forest has a great one.
Others I listen to are emotionally powerful, but not exactly generating simple happiness. Even Ori’s are sometimes dark but other times just beautiful.
Halo always manages to bring me back from wherever im headed
Can you briefly explain me what Halo is
You play John Halo, AKA Masterchef and you have to shoot aliens while a sexy-alexa talks sarcastically to you
Probably Howard Shore’s LotR score. Prologue, Concerning Hobbits, A Shortcut to Mushrooms, Khazad-Dûm, The Caverns of Isengard, The Road Goes Ever On, Edoras, Return to Edoras, Eyes of the White Tower… they’re all bangers.
(Edit: Can’t BELIEVE I forgot “The Ring Goes South!”)
I also really like Alan Silvestri’s stuff, particularly his Back to the Future work and his Avengers theme.
My wife and I also have this super fun game we play called “is it Gladiator or is it Pirates?” because Klaus Bedelt was Hans Zimmer’s protege when they needed a composer for the first Pirates movie, and he heavily borrowed from Zimmer. Anyway, those are good soundtracks, too.
I get to sing in a live performance of the Fellowship soundtrack this fall. The movie will play on a projector, the symphony and chorus will perform the soundtrack.
I’ve done this before for The Two Towers and Return of the King, over a decade ago. This year I get to complete the set!
Whoa. I’ve attended a live performance of a soundtrack with the movie playing overhead (Back to the Future, actually), and it’s a fantastic experience. I would imagine actually performing it would be even better.
Are the lyrics on your music written in Sindarin (I mean anglicized Sindarin, not actually Sindarin script), or are they spelled out phonetically?
Everything is spelled out phonetically, but you can bet I was nerdy enough to correct our chorus master when she said we were singing in Orcish and it was actually Dwarvish.
Nice. That’s a level of nerdery we should all aspire to.
I will never pick an OST over real music.
On days when a spring cleaning or packing and organizing frenzy is needed, the Katamari Damacy sound track is perfect. Nice continuity of themes, but varying tempos and energy help make a sustainable work session.
Anno doesnt chear me up but it is such a nice music to have in the background
If, God forbid, I ever end up with dementia or whatever, I expect that the music from Green Hill Zone will be the last tune I ever recognise.
