Enya.
Can someone explain to me why the soundtrack of epic films make me excited about life? Actually, I'm not sure that I need an exogenous answer. Sometimes I think the soul relates to music in an unexplainably unique way, especially in instrumental music. Often times words muffle what the soul is trying to express, feel, examine, journey through. So with all of that mysterious talk, I'd like to list some songs that often make my study play list, or my "alone time" playlist, or just my "it's time for inspiration" playlist. (feel free to point out to me anything mistitled or misauthored below)
In no particular order of preference :
- The Last of the Mohicans : Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman "This Kiss", or another version "Promontory"
- The Lord of the Rings : Enya "May it Be" ( I imagine that the angels sound similar to this)
- The Gladiator : Enya "Now We Are Free"
- BraveHeart : James Horner and the London Symphony Orchestra "For Love of A Princess"
and "The Secret Wedding"
- Legends of the Fall : James Horner "The Ludlows"
- The Titanic : James Horner : "A Life So Changed" and "Rose" (you can hear the harp in
this one)
- The League of Extraordinary Men : Trevor Jones ( with Ladysmith Black Mambazo) "Kenya -
Wait for Me" ( a friend introduced to me to LBM, and I must say, they are on my current top
20 list)
