Skyrim

So these past couple of weeks I have been getting really into Skyrim. I don't know what's so addicting about it! (It's probably the infinite number of side quests) But the music in it is soooo good! It just fits so perfectly with everything that goes on and it sounds so dramatic and awesome, I love it. Also my favorite is the song they play right after you kill a dragon and you absorb its soul. So cool, makes killing dragons even cooler then it already is.

There is more then one. This isn't the exact one that I had in mind but it's all I could find! It's still super cool though.

This is the song they use in their trailer and the main screen when you go to load your game. So epic. It makes me want to do something cool like flip off a wall. When I play, I have this like gaming chair? that you plug your xbox to and it plays everything from the game through the speakers. It sounds cool without it, but with the chair and the sound intensified it is just so awesome like I can't even describe it. Ugh the music in Skyrim is too cool man

Everything About This Week

I really liked everything we listened to and learned about in class this week. When we first started this week and we were listening to Michael Jackson, I was like awhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaah. I love the Thriller album! My favorite song of all time by Michael Jackson has to be P.Y.T. It's catchy, easy to jam out to, and it holds some of the greatest memories for me. (Yes, I was having a mini jam session in the back of the class)

Then we were listening to a bunch of hip hop and some of them were really funny and some of them made we want to go home and listen to it on repeat. I didn't catch all the names but I liked listening to them. They also made the class go by in a breeze.

Game of Thrones

So I was having a Game of Thrones marathon in preparation for season three and I heard a song in season two that sent some serious shivers down my side. It's a gorgeous song that I heard in a the end credits and had to shazam immediately. It's called The Rains of Castamere. The song is about Tyrion Lannister and how he destroyed House Reyne after they tried to rebel against his house. The main purpose of the song is to remind people not to cross a Lannister.(lol this makes no sense to the people who don't watch it but whateves)

I like it because it's an actual song in the show that the characters are aware of and talk to each other about. It's also played in pieces at major events but it took the cake when they played in the credits after The Battle of Blackwater. Also whoever sang it, I am in love with their voice.
                                       
I think the reason I got major shivers was because the entire episode was brutal and intense. It was loud and full of chaos and while the battle was outside, the queen was sitting quietly at the Iron Throne with her son about to drink the poison. Then backup came and the Lannisters prevailed at the end. It was dramatic and suspenseful and that's when the song played calmly and basically saying "Don't fuck with the Lannisters". It gave me shivers.

The Police & Elvis Costello

It's true that the only song I knew by The Police before this class was Every Breath You Take. My parents like The Police but I've never really given them a second thought. I was really surprised at what we listened to in class because it was so different from Every Breath You Take. I especially love Roxanne. I love how it starts out. "ROXXXXANNNEEEEE, you don't put on the red light..." So awesome. I've been listening to it this entire week. It's so easy to jam to.

Okay now on to Elvis Costello. I did not know who he was before class, but I'm so glad we listened to him. He's very chill. My favorite song from the album was 'Watching The Detectives'. It starts out kinda regae and then when he sings I'm just like I'm in loooooveeee. I want to say he sounds a lot like someone I listen to it but I can't remember the name of the band for the life of me.

Also when I was on youtube I saw a lot of people commenting on Roxanne by The Police and Alison by Elvis Costello that they were named after these songs! So people would reply to the comments with "she's a whore" or "but isn't roxanne a prositute?" I thought it was hilarious!
