Wow, December's here! I'm going to have a very busy Christmas season this year, and though I probably shouldn't have taken the time to, I have 'redecorated' the blog for Christmas. :) I justify this action by the fact that I took less time getting the header right than I usually do, and went more with the first thing I liked. It's only for a month, after all. But I must say I'm pretty satisfied. :D In case anyone's wondering, the period dramas the pictures are from are as follows: Top: Little Women (1994), Emma (2009) (a snowy Hartfield!) Bottom: Emma (A&E, 1996), Emma (2009), Little Women (1994) Yeah, not too much of a variation. But those are a couple of my favorite period dramas that include Christmas. :)
I hope I'll manage to post again before then, but Merry Christmas, everyone!
Day 28: A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty
Um? Okay, I'm not quite sure what this one means. Makes me feel guilty for listening to it, or a song that perhaps makes you feel guilty in some other way... almost tending towards encouragement to improve oneself? Ha... but I haven't got an answer for this one. So let's see what random song I get.
Heh, heh, heh. Well, it's not *my* fault the numbers keep being Phantom stuff.
Day 29: A Song From Your Childhood
When I was younger I played the violin/fiddle and was involved in a lot of contests and performances, whether being in them or watching my older brother, so a lot of fiddle songs bring back memories. Here's one that was in a group I was in... there were annual performances once a year and it was for Youth. Haha. Not a bit like a Classical orchestra... the songs were more folksy. ;) One time we played this waltz and they had these professional ballroom dancers perform a waltz on the stage which was sort of interesting. Although the girl's dress left Somewhat to be Desired. ;)
I quite like this song, incidentally. :D Pretty much any waltz by Jay Ungar has my approval.
Day 30: Your Favorite Song at This Time Last Year
Haha... wow. I don't have a 'favorite song' at particular moments, really, but I would say whatever I listened to the most at the time would be a Christmas song, since it was Christmastime then too. So I'm trying to think of something that I wouldn't have listened to all that much before, so that it would be New, because new songs I like are generally played to death at first. :)
Well, I discovered the soundtrack for A Christmas Carol (my favorite version from 1984), and the theme/overture/song-that-plays-at-the-beginning is Delightful. :D
Click here.
(Although I'm not sure that will work... it's not playing for me. Bah, humbug. :P Well, if it doesn't, go here and just listen up to 1:20.)
So... this is the end, I guess! Well, it's been fun!
Day 25: A Song That Makes You Laugh Pooor fool, he makes me--coughshuttingup. Hmmm... okay, here's one. I don't hear it a whole lot which is probably why it at least usually makes me snicker a bit. ;)
Day 26: A Song That You Can Play On an Instrument Ooh! This is fun. Well, I know part or most of several songs, so I'll go with one I can actually play from start to finish. Heehee. :)
Day 27: A Song That You Wish You Could Play Mmmm... this one. I think I may have tried playing the first bit a few times but... I gave up. Heh. But I would love to be able to play this. It's so beautiful. *sighhhh* Well, the first few minutes, mostly. Some other parts I'm not as crazy about. :P
Day 22: A Song You Listen To When You're Sad When I'm sad and I want to listen to music, I don't go and listen to something happy to cheer me up. Oh, no. This is where I have some Marianne Dashwood tendencies. I'd probably go and listen to some song where I could immerse myself in sadness. Possibly one with words, but instrumental leaves more room to apply a song to oneself, haha. One gorgeous song that I just looove but can find sad, or rather tragic, at times (I especially did when I was younger, before I learnt to appreciate just the emotion in some music, heehee) is this one.
Day 23: A Song That You Want to Play at Your Wedding I actually have a list for this. Somewhere. Haven't looked at it in a long time. Um... a song I've planned for AGES on having in my wedding is the Anne of Green Gables theme, but I already posted about that in the very first of these posts. But here's a random song I think it would be nice to have played 'live'. :D Just the piano version, but here's the one from the soundtrack.
Day 24: A Song That You Want to Play at Your Funeral Oh, goodness me! Little moooorbid, aren't we? Hmm... "Without You"? SNORT. Um... some hymns would be nice... but you know, I'm sure whatever my family would choose would be fine. And I do not like this subject. Let's just have a random song, shall we. Zee Random is being boring at me, sigh, but here's what it came up with. (The second thing, actually-- first I got a random Emma Soundtrack song but Blogger wouldn't let me put the video here... weird.)
I'm behind here, so there should be two posts today. Day 19: A Song From Your Favorite Album Ummm... I don't have a favorite album. I just don't! I tried to come up with one and I just couldn't. So... random song time.
I do love this song. I should listen to it more. ;) Day 20: A Song You Listen To When You're Angry It depends on what my purpose is. Sometimes maybe something Loud to match my mood... or perhaps just something normal to calm me down, haha. I don't have a particular answer for this so it will have to be another random song. I know, I'm a dud today... RANDOM SONG: this. So, I didn't even know that was on my MP3 player... heh. I should listen to more of my stuff. Day 21: A Song You Listen To When You're Happy Trying to think of something I might not be keen on listening to as much if I was unhappy... mmm... this. 'Tis good Happy Music.
