Not just "music"

First off, I wanna thank the people who actually came and visit my blog. Even though it's just like 2 people everyday, I still feel very happy and lucky to actually have people coming to my blog. It encourages me to blog better you know? Before having that poll, I didn't even know people would come and visit my blog. And the hits are every day! So I am very grateful whoever you are that came to my secret world and actually take time to read whatever I'm blogging. I truly appreciate it. Thank you very much

So, another way to thank you for reading my blog is putting some great music on my blog for you to enjoy. Just pure music. I don't know if it automatically plays for you when you come to my blog, cause it doesn't for me. But if it does, I'm glad. And if you haven't ever heard the music in my blog before, please don't hesitate to click on "Play", I swear, you'll have a journey of your lifetime.

The reason I chose these 3 particular soundtracks is because I, myself think that music without lyrics can actually say a lot more than a song *which means with lyrics. Music was originally created without anyone singing to it, it was meant for the orchestra to play the music and let the "message" warms you in the heart. Hence, so many classic music such as "The Swan Lake", "Turkish March", "The Nutcracker" etc. The 3 music soundtrack I chose are from very famous and great composers. I dunno about you but every time I finish a movie, the first thing that I want to know more is the soundtracks. Imagine a good movie without any soundtrack to it, no matter how good it is, the movie would come out bad because it can bring you a lot of joy, sadness, adventure *depending on the theme of the film, but it can't bring it to a great extent. Meaning, it can't reach into your heart. Music is such a big part of our lives that no one can live without it. I doubt anyone can.

So I introduce to you, Aaron Zigman, the composer who composed beautiful and emotional music for the very famous "The Notebook" and also "The Last Song". The music I choose to put on my blog is from "The Notebook" and the music is basically the summary of the whole movie. If you just listen to the music itself, it can bring you to tears. It's magic how it did it. The next one comes with a great film that I'm sure left everyone who watched it breathless. Yes, it's the one and only Inception. The soundtrack from this movie is just as breathtaking. It's a journey. It really is. It doesn't matter if it's from the movie, the music somehow can bring you to a whole new place and as I said, a journey. If you haven't heard of the soundtrack yet, it's available on Youtube. Just search on "Inception Soundtrack" and I'm sure you'll see a whole bunch of soundtracks waiting for you to be enjoyed. The one particular that I loved is the one I put on my blog: Time. This one can really relax your mind and is a soothing music yet in a way, daring. That is how I would explain it. It would probably differ as people have different taste to everything. Last but not least, the famous Alexandre Desplate. My current favourite music composer. It's from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie. The very last one, and it's called "Farewell to Dobby". I came to know Alexandre Desplate way before Harry Potter, and it was from The Twilight Saga, New Moon. The New Moon soundtrack is yet again, a great masterpiece.

So yes, as a token of appreciation. I present all the very best composers to you.

I hope you enjoy it

Much love,
Thalie.C
