FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm looking for good music. Name a genre, I am into it (pop, rock, country, hip-hop, rap, bluegrass, really anything). But I'm looking for music to listen to on bad days/weeks or just an overall difficult time. I have several songs I listen to in times like that, but I'm kind of getting sick of my usual stuff. It can be Christian, secular, angry, encouraging, etc, honestly, I don't have a preference. Throw stuff at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I wrote up a great post that disappeared. <_< Will try to re-create it now. SO: I usually recommend this as a joke, but I legitimately enjoy this music, and perhaps you will too. Here we go: J-POP!!! But, hang on a moment. Check out these links and see what you think. I really like Yui Horie, and her occasional band Kurobara Hozonkai. My favourite album by her is called Honey Jet. Here are a few songs from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTm0SMeOy9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBSM5Hxllvs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkcu6voVzcM Moving right along if you are not into J-pop, another genre I love is Baroque string music. Stuff especially like Vivaldi, Boccherini, Pergolesi, etc.. Here is some Vivaldi: http://youtu.be/UandrVGCMcI (LOVE the third movement in this one.) http://youtu.be/Z3OhLrTeiMQ And lastly, just on a lark, I really love Itzhak Perlman, especially his klezmer work.

Nihil Obstat Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Also, I can send you my Youtube favourites if you like. There is a lot of stuff on there, about half of which is music from a huge array of genres. J-pop to 70s punk to classical to Mongolian folk to American bluegrass. I will not leave a public link to it, in case the moderators do not appreciate that some of the videos contained therein have language issues. But if you would like it, drop me a PM.

morostheos Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This is my playlist I created from the Christian artists that came to CT for "A Night of Hope and Healing" for Sandy Hook. It's very uplifting for me. Night of Hope and Healing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 My favourite musicians and bands at present include: Active Child (techno/electronic/choral) Tallest Man on Earth (folk) The National (indie rock) Ben Howard (folk). I saw him in concert a couple of nights ago - he was absolutely wonderful. He produces very uplifting music - I like listening to him when things are a bit off-colour. And, of course, if you like choral and classical music, Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Samuel Barber and Mendelssohn are in my opinion always brilliant.

Nihil Obstat Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Oh! I should not have forgotten this, because I was just listening to it a couple nights ago. Bôa. Kind of an alt-rock band from the late nineties, but with some clear funk influences, and maybe a pinch of something along the lines of nu-metal. Although J_Lol would be able to better label their metal influences, probably. Good couple songs by them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0N5YblvT1c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFrRZ4EWW0s Edited April 4, 2013 by Nihil Obstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Most of these will be indie Silversun Pickups, Phoenix, Modest Mouse, Air, Hot Hot Heat, The Cure (80's new wave) , Fitz & The Tantrums (They have a soul/motown sound to them) , Passion Pit, Ash, G. Love & Special Sauce, Bright Eyes.. just to name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiiMichael Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I found this cool band called Whitehorse a while back. They're a husband/wife duo and I really enjoy their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscerningCatholic Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Emily Bear's music is pretty epic. She's 11 years old and composes her own pieces - solo, orchestral, jazz, you name it - and has performed at Carnegie Hall twice. She's also signed with Quincy Jones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDgrrqo-jyk Composed at age 6 (age 9 at time of performance), won ASCAP award http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zj5GPGRw70 Composed at age 9 Edited April 4, 2013 by DiscerningCatholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anastasia13 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 After every time I see this, most other things just seem sort of trite to me. I love this video. http://youtu.be/0g9poWKKpbU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
