Vivaldi and Pachelbel are also nice! *Goes off on a youtube safari*
LOL - Pachelbels Canon in D always makes me teary eyed (My friend even used it as her wedding march instead of the usual crap you hear (Mendelssohn's Wedding March - so overused)
The Canon's great. I even love the Pachelbel Rant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM
Ahahaha - that was hilarious! I loved that! Thanks for the giggles! (TacoBell...Do you have the time, to listen to me whine?) Hehe.
I thought that Mendelssohn was passé. Isn't everyone using ironic songs like Screamin' Jay Hawkins, now?
True, and quite a number are using Leonard Cohens' Hallelujah too. At least they are getting away from the Wedding March ... personally, I think if I were to get married I would use this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD3VsesSBsw just to be a Drama Queen ... LOL
That's hilarious! Especially when all the lights flash on like The Big O. Wow! Pretty funny when it's a song about ... well, the western version of karma, which definitely gives the wedding a sinister cant. Hope it's not portentous.
(And isn't it just like André Rieux to stack his chorus with shapely sirens dripping with bosoms and big curls, but all the men are pudgy duds?)
Totally! (for Andre) and yeah, I acknowledge the irony - plus the words (for the entire opera) are all taken from 13th century "love/lust" poems written by monks and set to music by Hitlers' favourite musician - very sinister ... I would wear a Morticia Adams' style gown and have everyone cosplay Adams' Family ...
Andre makes me appreciate yaoi so much! So much!
Your wedding plans kind of make me think of the way I used to tease my relatives when they would get too religious about rituals like weddings and funerals. I used to threaten that I wanted a full Viking funeral after I died complete with burning ships. I stopped scandalizing them after a sympathetic cousin pointed out that Viking funerals were all well and good until half-burnt bits of corpse wash up on people's decks.
Hahaha ... that is great! I told my parents that I want to be cremated so I can fertilize the rose bushes in their garden, but a full Viking Funeral would be fun. (Mind you some of the Viking Funerals consisted of burying a full sized ship, packed with gold and a corpse laid out in the middle ... which would be kind of cool too. (I defiantly go to funerals wearing bright colours ...to tease my relatives)
Just thought something funny ... the person who posed the original question is going to wonder how the thread got away and we are now discussing funerals ...
Now I'd rather make a few rose bushes happier, than crush a bunch of innocent clams for no reason. (Of course, if there was some way they'd end up in a nice chowder, then bring it!)
She's the one who wanted cheerful melancholia ...
In the immortal words of Freddy Quimby "Chow-der" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDZRjgWgnNM
And - true - she did want cheerful melancholia
That is lovely phrasing
Thx!(⌒▽⌒)
Sounds much better than "depressing" which is what my family calls it
Your welcome ( ^ω^ )
Sorry that they are all instrumental music, but if you want i can give you some songs where they're singing ♪( ´▽｀)
WOW! So many songs again! I should really listen to these too! Thank you!
That's okay. It's a little slow but I still like it! Thank you!
I know this is weird but I want to know your favorite song (instrumental or singing) that's soothing or calm, kind of depressing but happy at the same time. Or a song that's upbeat and happy, but not too happy. I don't like dubstep or songs that you can obviously tell was made by a machine (like electronic, Vocaloid is okay). Because I love those kind of songs but keep listening to the same song over and over already. Thank you!
