For this blog, I was deciding whether to share another underrated band or share songs from my (sort of) classical playlist. So I chose this. When I say classical, I don’t just mean Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. I pretty much mean songs without words, or in some cases, really soothing songs in different languages.
I usually use this playlist while reading, or writing, because having other words in my head as I’m reading or writing can be difficult. So without any more to say here are my favorite (sort of) classical songs.
First off, the playlist is called Silent Dialogue. I named it that because I feel that songs without words can often tell a story.
Starting from the bottom of the seven.
#7) Gnossienne No. 1 Erik Satie
This song gives off major antagonist vibes, and I always find it entertaining to listen to this when writing the dialogue of a villain in my story. It’s mainly piano, and quite slow, but it makes up for it by its dramatic atmosphere.
#6) The Legend of Ashitaka Joe Hisaishi
This song is from my favorite Studio Ghibli movie, Princess Mononoke. It’s a wonderful masterpiece of string music. (I can’t tell which instruments, but if I had to guess, maybe cello, violin, and flute? I’m not sure. But all the same, it really is wonderful.
#5) Just Give Me One More Day Alej
I’ve mentioned this song before in a previous blog. It’s a magnificent piece on the piano which spirals and swirls leaving you with a sense of curiosity. I highly recommend this song to anyone who loves classical music. When reading, I often pick a song to read the entire book to, for instance, I read “The Shining” while listening to the Shining theme song. I read “The Giver” While listening to this song.
#4) Where Is My Mind (piano version) Your Movie Soundtrack
This is a song turned classical, it used to be a low rock sort of song, but someone took the bass and turned it into a piano solo. Which in my opinion is so much better. I listened to this song a lot when I had a job in Hattiesburg, but it’s been a while since I listened to it on repeat. Still its one of my favorite songs on piano.
#3) The Princess Brandon Boone
I can’t begin to explain how amazing this song is. I could listen to this song on repeat for hours, and I have. It originally stems from a game called “Slay The Princess”. And Like the song, I could not recommend it enough. In the game, you have to literally decide to save or slay the princess. Sounds easy enough, but it’s infinitely more complicated the more you play.
If you’re sensitive to blood and gore, I would advise caution before playing.
#2) Dark Souls – Gwyn, Lord Of Cinder – Theme Song Geek Music
Ok, this one might come across as surprising, but its a really good piano piece from a mind-boggling RPG game called Dark Souls. I’ve tried so many times to beat it, but I don’t have the skill. Still, I try. But Dark souls has been known for their successful games throughout the years.
#1) Mia & Sebastians Theme song – Piano Version Your Movie Soundtrack
My #1 classical song changes from time to time, but currently, this song hits hard. I didn’t like the original, so I found one that was softer by an artist I already liked. This song is more somber and soft, which makes for a good repeat song. And… Yeah, it’s from La La Land. Might be a little
Thank you for reading. I adore classical music, and I hope to find more to share in the future.
Honesty thought this was going to be about old classical music, like Mozart’s or someone else. I still really liked this though.
I love Ghibli soundtracks as well as classical movie soundracks, soem people don’t call it classic just because it isn’t from a famous composer but they use so many different aspects of classical work instead.
First of all, it is a sin that you didn’t include the wings from Papa’s Wingeria. Also put me in a room with a cake from minecraft one of us is walking out a changed man.
