Music That Inspires You -
Music That Inspires You I know that this topic is going to illicit a BROAD range of responses, which delights me, being a musician.
And, being a musician, I have so many personal faves to choose from. Let's start with this:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH2W7tSGuT0]YouTube - "You Are the New Day" - King's Singers[/ame] -
Phil, here are couple that inspire me
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls7ila3srzI]YouTube - Don't Give Up, You Are Loved[/ame] What a voice too!
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKx81wrTASg]YouTube - Ofra Haza - Forgiveness[/ame] -
Re: Music That Inspires You Sally,
I love that Josh Groban song. I've listened to that a lot in the past.
Thanks for sharing the Ofra Haza as well. Beautiful.
Hopefully some others will be encouraged now to contribute to the mix!
Cheers,
Phil -
one more
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N-t7luNfks&feature=related]YouTube - ULI JON ROTH [ ARANJUEZ/THE KING RETURNS ] LIVE[/ame] Instrumental but very emotional and inspiring playing
as a musician Phil you may be interested that he plays a 7 string 40 fret guitar giving him a full 6 octave range. For a quick look at how good he really is - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxR4ADtGV5w]YouTube - Uli Jon Roth - Part Of Metamorphosis, Philadelphia 2004[/ame] -
From same album 'The Prayer Cycle' that Ofra Haza song was on, well worth hearing full album
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvxuMrccdc&feature=related]YouTube - The Prayer Cycle: Mercy[/ame] this features Alanis Morissette. -
Re: Music That Inspires You Trent Reznor's (Nine Inch Nails) gentler stuff: search You Tube for "Nine Inch Nails Still".
When he made this album he combined everything he learned about electronics and sound engineering with his classical training.
The result is beautiful and very different from his other heavy loud Industrial records.
Give it a go

One day, I was in desperate need of a serious shift, and this is the song that did the trick! I just now remembered it...

Enjoy!

The track I am working on and tweaking right now is probably the most mixed up representative of some of my influences.. contains elements of gypsy jazz, spanish, arabic, gospel, soft stuff, hard stuff, michael caine(!).. the vocals aren't mixed yet (all wrong levels) and some are still guide vocals and will change.. and still some more percussion to come.. but gives you the idea.. I stuck the last rough mix here temporarily.. Mr Limbic and the whole damn system - Shine | filthysound.com -
