Listening to the Soundtrack of King Arthur by Daniel Pemberton. One of my favorites this year!
I had a similar reaction when I discovered that track a few years ago. Not thinking to see if it's on YouTube, I bought it because surely there must be more to it. Well, yesterday it popped into my head and was just what the doctor ordered.
I paired it with this:
My favorite more recent songs by Neko Case:
Charlotte Gainsbourg's newest song:
Not entirely sure how I'd like it without the video. Her vocals are nice and I like her descending melody. The synth production doesn't quite work for me; however, since my first listen was accompanied with this video, I suspect it's left a significantly stronger impact on me than it would have on the radio. I already want to watch it again -- a certain sign that this will become an earworm, what with that melody scoring this sentimental (and to my taste only modestly saccharine) narrative.
Strictly song-wise, I prefer the title track from the album:

Not related, but we attended a Greek wedding of a friend several years back. What a wonderful experience. So much traditional folk culture is still practiced today.
Purcell - Sound the Trumpet
I'm so jealous of people who have musical talent.
The trumpeter and the countertenor, amazing. And cool to see Trevor Pinnock. I have so many recordings of his; I never even knew what he looked like

Two soundtracks from classic video games
- SONIC MANIA OST
- SAMUS ARCHIVES SOUND SELECTION - METROID SAMUS RETURNS OST
What on earth is this supposed to mean?
Re music, at present, I am listening to an album called Índia by Gal Costa.
audio quality is only so so...

reminds me a bit of laurie anderson ...
"Heroes" by David Bowie is a classic. A great song.
If it starts on my iPod/car stereo/iMac I sit and listen to it in it's entirety. No matter what i'm about to do I let it finish.
Also, solved my new car stereo issues. i bought an iPod Nano. no more "unplayable files".

You see, Old School sometimes does work better.
(Ironic how a Nano is now seen as "Old School" - and "reliable Old School" at that); I recall a time it was a stunning cutting edge device.
And keep in mind, I just bought it! I have a shuffle, my wife has a shuffle, and the kids are current with their stuff, i.e. they have newer phones or newer iPods.. I just got this Nano and I love it.
Music to unbox the iPad Pro that just landed here... Let's see.... ok, so... Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man. No less would do for the folk who designed, made and got this thing onto my porch this morning. I'm psyched!
I'm one of those who is of the opinion that the iPod (i.e. iPod family) is up there as one of the greatest inventions ever, ranked (in my mind) along with running water, - perhaps - the wheel, and most certainly, the printing press.
Great - and uplifting - choice of music.
