Take me to the Shire....

I love Instrumental movie soundtracks. Everytime I listen to one I think, "I should watch this movie." And it's good backround noise.
See, if I'm reading and I put the TV on for backround noise, I give more attention to the TV.
If I put tunes with words on, I sing along and then end up reading the same sentence fifteen times.
Things like Beethoven, Bach or Mozart make me feel like I've got homework. So- generally I try to stay away from that.
So that's another reason I like the Instrumental movie soundtracks. They take me to good times.
Like the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. There are songs on there that make me wish I was a hobbit, eating non-stop and smoking a pipe. Oh to be a hobbit....
Then there are the songs that make me feel sad. I hear them and I think- "It's okay Frodo- Gandalf's not really dead." Or- something of the sort.
There are also songs that make me think I should runaway for the ORCS ARE COMING!

Titanic has some good songs. I'm not talking about Celine Dion bellowing at the top of her lungs, but nice soft ones were a woman with a hypnotic voice oohs and ahs slowly putting you to sleep.
Or good ole bagpipes. Unlike most- I love bagpipes. It's good stuff.


Aye- Braveheart- Bagpipes, drum's and flutes. Everything you need for a swell time at the pub.

Let's see... Eragon.... I'm flying through the air on the back of my dragon. I'm fighting Urgals and th Ra'zac with my loyal mentor. And- oh no- A elven princess being held captive- time to give a Shade even more power(Oops). Oh look the son of the enemy of my mentor- maybe we should skip on over to Varden together and fight, kill, and ultimatly ANNILATE the Kings soldiers, Urgals and his little minion Shade... Good job dragon rider- Good job son the the enemy of the mentor... Yep, that about sums this one up.

Stardust has such fun music. There are songs where you think of Robert De Niro dressed in drag and pirates fighting. Stars falling from the sky. Michelle Pfeiffer being a witch (what else is new?) That is what good music is made of.



I'm bored... Somebody help be out here. Give me something interesting to talk about. I re-read this post and it bored me. But... since I did it- I post it anyways and have you be bored with me.
